Look for his doco on Alfred Russell Wallace.

Just watched the 6 minute version. Will hunt some more tonight

Brilliant @Dales Cannon - have you got a link to the whole show?

I have only been able to find odd bits and pieces. All worth chasing down.

Oh please I would love to be riding with these guys!

Cannot believe I didn't know there was a coffee plunger lid for JetBoil stoves! Instant purchase
Also, snakes are bad enough, but screw potentially meeting a bear while on a ride...

Or a fox. Ravens hate foxes.

First thought is homer with the watermelons.

My new pedals. I’ve been handicapping myself the last few months using my old nukeproofs. These One ups are just something else.

Confused looks on the face of baristas when they ask for my name. They get one repeat and then they're on their own. Dealing with unusual names is surely barista skills 101?

And I don't even give them the Norwegian pronunciation...

Odd. ‘Karen’ is pretty straight forward.

haha. it is sort of entertaining seeing what they come up with when its written on cups. Sometimes its a pretty good guess, some make me wonder...

Just use an alternate name to smooth your way through life. I know others that have gone that way.

"Hawk", for example, sounds kind of cool and menacing.....though I can picture them suppressing a giggle when they compare the name with the visual...

Middle name in Mikael, so i went with Mick for a while. But if they don't want tricky names, use a number system.

I've gotten pretty attuned to listening for the assorted versions they think they're heard.

When I moved to Cambodia I endured about 3weeks of giggles when I met someone and told them my name. Finally a less polite Khmer told me the pronunciation of my name basically meant to have sex.
So I changed it to Jake. Again I got giggles. Found out it is Khmer for banana which is also used to describe a dufas or simpleton.
I gave up after that and left as Jake.
Found it was often a great way to break the ice with the very reserved Cambodian people.

So does this mean that your full name is Have Sex with Banana?

I like customers like you - guaranteed bad coffee every time. Never anything too obvious - a pinch of coffee grinds, Luke warm milk, really really hot milk, an overdrawn shot. It'snot hard to be polite, it's actually easier than being a cunt.

LTIL...when your eBike owning mate tries to mock his non ebike mates...and is brutally owned.
