Lazy Sunday

A late breakfast in the Velo Lounge, Anchorman on DVD, a walk at Chew Valley Lake, all polished off with a cream tea afterwards. Heaven.

#34 – Se7en

One of my favourite films, and long overdue a rewatching. I can’t believe it’s 15 years since it came out.

Rouleur hate me

Posted at 2:33 pm, Tuesday July 20, 2010 by rich

I should have seen it as an omen when Rouleur wouldn’t let me order a book last week. Now that my copy has arrived, they’ve just dropped the price by £15.

It’s almost like they don’t want you to buy anything?

I finally got around to trying to order the 2009 Rouleur Annual today, except I couldn’t. I’ve got an existing account with Rouleur from when I ordered the 2008 Annual last year, and I can log in successfully. However when I try to go through the checkout it get’s stuck at the login page saying "You must set an address for your account before continuing", however there is actually no way of setting an address. I emailed them this morning to ask how to get around the problem, and got no response.

Good job they didn’t reply as it turns out that you can order the exact same item from the same company via the Rapha website for less money, and their checkout process actually works properly. Bonus.
