I don't know why some people idolise the guy so much. It's been couple of thousand of years and still just promises. Even I can come three times a night.

Yeah but you can’t walk on water and then change it to wine . And that’s good, because Im afraid the wine would have your feet smell

Yeah, I am not big on walking or wines but I have spend days and nights on a lake and also turned water to alcohol. With a little help from yeast and sugar I have to admit, but nobody's perfect.

Why, oh why, can't I keep my big mouth shut? It is a miracle that I made it as far as I did in life with an inability to stay silent for long. I let little things eat away at the back of my mind until I lash out regardless of the consequences. FML!

...and we just had a lightning strike less than 20ft from our house.
 
Lots of noisy helicopters buzzing around central Tokyo around 9.45pm onwards....anything going down?

The news would report her being brought to the hospital in the state of cardiopulmonary arrest.

All i got was some rain...
I've been close to a lightning strike as well; approx 30ft but my car was parked within 10ft of the hit at the base of a tree. Everything turned a bright orange and the ground shook like a bomb exploding.

So I just watched a YouTube vid on how to inflate a bicycle tire. Yep. Thats how hopeless this Frenchy is.
You know those manly men who can do anything with their hands and build or repair stuff? Not just wanking, hold a phone or a fork?
I’m not one of them. :(

To be honest I am pretty sure the back tyre of the Japanese mama-chari is made to cut foreigners out of the competition. The Japanese guys certainly have like six years of courses in junior and senior high schools on how to maintain the bloody thing. Even just changing the tyre is like a full day's worth of work for anyone not in the cult.

The pick up line then goes something like "Yeah, he may be taller and have a bigger dick but see how he struggles with even simple things like fixing your tyre. How can you ever trust a guy like that?" and her secret place dries like the desert sand for the poor foreigner.

Yes its the back tyre and yes it’s different from what I was used to in France as a kid
There is no little thingy which you unscrew after removing the black thingy on top and then you can put the pump’s cable tip thingy on top of the unscrewed thingy. Here it’s different.
Apologies for my highly technical vocabulary

First time took me about 90 minutes and a lot of swearing to get it done.

And I can tear down and rebuild a Volkswagen Beetle without a manual.

Bike shops are usually kind enough to blow up your tires as a "service". My local even has a laminated chart by the bike pump illustrating in graphic detail the different valves - English, American, French. Bike parks sometimes have a pump as well.

One strange thing about the pumps at my shop and at the train station bike park is that your left to guess how much air to pump in. There is no pressure reading. I think it has cost me a few tubes.

well I use the tried-and-true « is it hard enough? » technique involving using my fingers to check it it’s hard. and yes that’s the only case I check with my fingers if something is hard :)

Yeah, it is always better to ask her rather than check with your fingers.

I mean the type of the valve in the bicycle obviously.
