Look, I don't care what you say, but I remain convinced the rain, combined with warmer temperatures, makes the hills grow bigger, and that explains why I suffer more cycling up them. I will not be taking any questions.

My kids love their trampoline, but they only spend 50% of the time bouncing up, wasting the other 50% falling down. That's why I'm not spending another penny on trampoline maintenance until they can improve efficiency and reduce wasted falling time to at most 25%. This toot is about austerity.
