Tom Booth Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Was looking forward to getting the bike out for the first time in months today but it's absolutely hammering it down. Booo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm with Tom on this one. Riding in the rain sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Kit up properly and it's fine Yup it sucks if you're not appropriately dressed! The hardest part is getting out, once you've started you soon realise that it's not as bad as you thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Physical exertion in the rain is probably my favourite. Trials is the exception to that for me, but running or XC riding or whatever is great in the rain.It's definitely all about having the right kit. If you don't have the right kit, just get to saturation point as quickly as possible – you can't get any wetter then, and your skin is waterproof. After that your only problem is staying warm, which means going faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The most common response is "man up", which I always find odd. It's not that I'm not man enough, or I'm scared, it's that I ride for fun and I don't find soaking wet trails and pouring rain fun.If we're talking about "man up", then the Brecon Beast is an example - I would have done that if it was soaking wet, I just wouldn't have enjoyed it.That's probably why I get to March / April every year with a big beer gut and zero fitness.

JD™ Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 One out of three responses alluded to, but didn't use the words, 'man up' and that's the one you chose to focus on? The other two focussed on the fact that we as individuals quite enjoy the wet bit. Y'know, conversing rather than confronting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 And that REALLY wasn't confrontation. You're too touchy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I never said you were confronting, I said we/I weren't. Sorry for thinking that a reply about the conversation being had in the previous five posts might refer to that conversation, which you'd been a part of previously. How silly of me...

MadManMike Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 It was the same subject, so it was a relevant post, but it wasn't aimed at anyone here.But anyway, you're forgiven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) My lab partner is the biggest c-unit. Not only did he not do his share of the work (~6 hours) he also didn't tell me this until about 2 minutes ago, the lab is tomorrow morning. I'm listing him as a source of error in my experiment.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm listing him as a source of error in my experiment. Do this but add him to the nomenclature with a greek symbol, possibly Ψ because that's what he makes you do, and give him definition and unit... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdoku Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Went for an Assistant Manager role at work. Gets told experience will not be taken into account, okay. Do interview, went okay, was nervous as f**k though. Get told today I didn't get the job because I'm not ready and not enough experience. What the f**k. I've been full time here for just under 3 years. Job went to a girl who's casual here, has nothing on me experience wise. She left her last job a few weeks ago because she didn't like it anymore. Comes back and works here for a few weeks and bam, Assistant Manager. f**k this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I was the assistant manager at one of the bars I used to work at, they took on a new manager above me, 5 years my junior (irrelevant, but added to the annoyance), 6 months or so after I'd been given my role, based on his previous experience as manager of a phone shop, and being a snappy dresser.I had to carry that useless twat the entire time he was there, he didn't know his arse from his elbow.
