I did a stag night in Norwich a few years back. Most of it has been wiped from my memory - but being approached by hookers in the appropriately named Murderers (Arms I think), getting cleaned out at poker at a debt collectors house and Sainsbury's being the only place to get a fry up on a Sunday morning were the lowlights...there were no highlights.

We've had this debate before. It's not just the cost of the staff time - every charge they levy on bikes, parts, repairs, maintenance, etc. has to contribute towards the rent, business rates, insurance, utilities, wages, employer's NI, tax, etc. Try running a business in central London. Do it yourself or pay the price.

I think we'll be eating at *about *that time, we've not really arranged it to be honest. Overall, we're not in a massive rush. I'm sure we can keep your food warm for you and the simple drinkers will just have to stare at it with food driven lust in their eyes.
Either that, or you can eat some over priced bar snacks and wake up the next day with a cracker of a hangover.
I was counting on the hangover either way! I'm going to be in St Johns Wood until 8.30 at least so, realistically, I'm not going to make it for food. I'm out.

Are those bank travel insurance policies any good? Anyone claimed anything off 'em.
STA were great for a lost camera but they're expensive.They're OK for basic stuff, I've claimed off them before. They have lots of exclusions like scuba diving or how many days abroad in any one year, which is a pain, but a lot of policies do. Mine is also limited to a family of four, so I have to pay a small extra premium for one child or do the home alone thing (they're fine if you leave them enough food....for up to a week). But if you just want basic insurance for your bog standard trip, the bank cover does the job and saves you money.

I'd forgotten about my exploding tube (or Fiddy's - I owe you). Two old semi-retired security guards on their last gig before putting the slippers on permanently, rock up to find 50 bikes riding around Broadgate and try to figure what the hell is going on. They ask, they are reassured, the relax a little...then BOOM!...it's all been a sophisticated distraction and the bad guys have finally arrived. I swear both their jaws dropped and they nearly hit the deck for cover....

Pajamas, great ride, thanks for all the planning and you were soooooo right about the tyres!!!
Henry, glad you're OK, it was a horrible sight coming up to the police van with you lying sprawled in front of it. Apparently it's their new tactic - you jump a red, they mow you down just to show you...
Home by five, in work by ten...it's going to be a long day, but so worth it!

OK, so I'm selling my Hanzo (complete bike), no pictures at the moment, as that would require a camera, which I don't have. But here's the description: -
Frame - Pearson Hanzo large (fits me, I'm 6'1") steel double butted in black
ITM seat post and stem, bullhorns (42cm)
Formula hubs, Keymet V rims, flip-flop rear, 48/18
Vero cranks and I'll throw in the spd's
Tektro brakes and levers, front and back
Bodyfit Ascent seatBought new in May this year, looking to get £280 for it. One or two light scratches but nothing more. Based in South London, but happy to meet up.
Size and how much you got to spend?
