The brain of a cyclist
The doctor will see you nowHad a scan yesterday. Not exactly sure what I was expecting, but this shouldn't have come as a surprise:

Jump off the bike and run across. I cycle in trainers though.

Cheers for the lesson! Wasn't expecting one so was pleasantly surprised, especially getting to find the origin of "laconic"!

They were before change all systems, then went downhill due to bad adminstration aka CEO who agree to proceed with the worst system I have seen...

Same here - it took me by surprise. 10:30am doesn't feel like a dangerous time to cycle; apparently I'm wrong on that.

If anything, it looks a bit like an SL6

I love the comment at the bottom "Do not google and try to compare with 'normal' brains" brilliant.
That's a real thing. This was obviously a real brain scan at one time, and people who take them home always want to find and compare their heads with "normal" ones - and promptly freak out when they don't have their own "ipod jack" and it must be abnormal!
That's what the doctor said, too. Well, waste of space. "Some people have fit E=MC squared in there," is how he put it. "You're currently wondering which brake calipers look prettiest."
PS. Poetic licence aside, that was a real brain scan. Serious stuff, in direct violation of my own user guide.
Waste of time, space and effort
Did I miss something here with the 'Agony Guy's' posts? They appear to be recycled entries from his own seemingly largely unread blogs. I used to come to road.cc for good original views and writing. To be fair I still do on the the whole! But just not here. Or am I wrong??
Everything in order then.
