    More likely it was Hacker News where I came across it ([url]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27500787[/url]).

    I’ve changed the link now to use the web.archive version so you can have a look.

    It’s easy enough to put an image into a forum post (and/or comments) by hosting the image somewhere (e.g. Imgur) and grabbing the link to the JPG/PNG and putting that in between a couple of IMG tags with square brackets.

    I use the one given to me

    I use the one given to me free by Waitrose to collect the mud and general filth from the bike and my fettleing.

    I sometimes catch myself reaing a bit, just because it’s there, and I have to stop myself…

    These are in the Alps somewhere too. I would tell you exactly but as it was in the Sunday Torygraph travel supplement it’s currently providing an absorbent area for our chickens to poop on, sorry
