Despite Henry's horrible incident at the end, a mind blowing ride. Well done to the crew at the crash for staying so cool. Just standing there, silent, around our fallen comrade, really did prevent things getting really ugly with the Police. Most of the officers, were far from impressed with the offending drivers conduct, and went out of their way to diffuse the situation.

I took plenty of pictures, and will get them on a CD and over to someone whose computer skills will do them justice. Maybe South Drinks on Monday, if there are any design gurus around?

On a positive note, Pajamas, you are an inspiration. A wonderful ride, painstakingly thought through with so many surprises, and original twists and turns. How that rep has gone, I am writing to Mr. G Brown, asking that you are added to the New Years honours list, and given the OBE.......

Has my cross dressing previous life caught up with me, or is Sarah someone who has taken my place? I will be the gent, and take 22 if the lady is not a figment of our collective imagination.

Fluff, sounds like your arm is healing. Previous suggestion is fine for moisterising the skin, but maybe some tea tree oil, for the itching/any residual infection?

I'm not a doctor, just an interferring first aider. (Disclaimer to follow.................)

This morning on the way to work. It made me chuckle so I quickly snapped it..

Is that the female that gave you the BJ?

Shame you cannot make it Tikka. Bernie's inn...... ne-ne-ne-nineteen.

If anyone is forced to cancel, can they ping me a pm? I hope that is O.K. pajamas; seems too good a trip to miss, if there is a spare place.

"The first rule of Fight Club..."

Why not give him a flavour of what goes on? I am sure many newbies out there would be interested to know.

I am in central London today, and tomorrow, if you were free for me to catch the tyres off you and hand over the folding. I will pm my mobile number. Cheers for sorting them out. With the Greased Lightning road conditions, could do with getting some decent rubber on the bike.

Latest update re VAT rates and flat rate schemes.

**[SIZE=5]Flat Rate Scheme
**[/SIZE]The Flat Rate Scheme percentages are to be changed with effect from 1 December so that anyone on the scheme should not be disadvantaged. More details are available on HMRC's website in its press release.
Because the FRS percentage takes account of input VAT as well as output VAT the percentages will not be reduce by the full 2.5%.

Gabs, the flat rate schemes are likely to come in for some tinkering when the Treasury and Revenue ministers have started to think through what their wonderful initiative is going to mean to hard pressed traders and the self employed.

Problem is that the new rates come in on 1 December, so even if traders want to pass on the savings, their software will not be up to speed in time, and all sorts of accounting aggro will follow. One bit of good news is that the tax authorities have been told to take whatever is offered on tax arrears. Worth knowing if you are self employed, and the recent downturn has given you major tax headaches.

Ah, Gizmond, but there are a lot of Wednesdays in 2009.....

Dear Scott, as and when you want the wonga, please let me know.

Mr Hoops, how are you recovering from the crash?

IMO, magic tyres that inspire confidence whatever the weather conditions. On the second series of the blue version on my triathlon Colnago, and they really suit the colour scheme. Like yourself, not sure about the colour of the yellow/orange version.

Well done Pajamas, brilliant idea. Will be there if not in Geneva; let's hope the gnomes get a better offer.

Mashton, a most elegent and well put argument.

Sorry to hear that the Smiling One was injured. not so bad that you will be missing the C & H, I trust?

Mr Hoops, what happened? I hope you did not land on your saddle dangler...

Pajamas...25 x2
Picco...23 x2
Big Daddy Wayne… 23x4
benanza 25 x2
wools 23 x2
Dammit 23 X 2
Bernie 23x2

Good man for sorting it out.

Oh and my avater, courtesy of computer literate son, is me heading off with the remains of Joann Good's car, given her recent comments about cyclists....

Damn, just agreed to take the misses out. If she cancels, I'll be there.

Hi Steve, where are you based?

Great to see such an uplifting thread.

When dropping my daugher off at school in the car, saw a hassled mum trying to get her tribe across the road, including 4 year old son, on his brand new birthday bike. I waved them across the road, as junior gingerly wobbled away in front of me. Just as he got to the opposite kerb, he hops, yes, hops the bike onto the pavement, and when I belly laughed at his skill, he gave me a cheeky grin and a thumbs up!

Our Olympic track future is safe; do early learning centre do SPuD pedals for the "Action Man" single speed?
