Cool, cheers for the links and info! I'm pretty spoiled, living in Bristol, it seems. Lots of nice cunryside all around me!

Brian Cant Punctuate

I don't think it's even a comment on gender.

It reminds me of an advert for some online bingo site ages ago, where the husband was busy dismantling a motorbike on the kitchen table, much to the dismay of his wife, who sought solace in online gambling. The lighthearted tone of the advert belied that it was basically just a depressing window in to that couple's failure to connect emotionally with one another and the repression of pent-up, unresolved issues that have no healthy outlet within their relationship.

Which I assume is the real punchline of the above joke, or am I reading too much into it?

All Americans install their seat posts the wrong way round - fact.

I think with the DM, their definition of 'public' is confined to those within the building.

I even find my wife's 50cm cross check a surprisingly long reach - certainly not a huge difference to my 52cm straggler.

You got routes planned? I'd like to do a jaunt in that direction from Bristol at some point.

Because no one associates the Daily Mail with the Mail Online, do they?

Less ratty arguing - more racist bikes, please.

Christ, are we really going to have another 'Corbyn appears not to bow for the queen' scandal? i hear he puts the milk in before the tea, too etc etc etc ad infinitum/nauseum

It's funny - I was thinking that about my straggler. I look at other stragglers (like yours) and think they look great. Then I look at mine and I feel like it's a bit awkward.

Yes and yes.

One of my many pet hates is the whole 'reacting to someone being a twat somehow makes you the twat' thing.

The lady this morning who did an ill-advised overtake, then cut across me to turn left whilst shaking her head - she was a twat and deserved having it shouted at her. Amazed even having a 2-year old on my bike didn't make her think twice.

I picked up 'Terminal World' by Alastair Reynolds in a charismatic shop a while back and gave it a go. A few good ideas and scenes, but generally was quite underwhelmed. Have just started 'Revelation Space' on the Kindle (don't like kindle reading, but it's so much easier for me at the moment for various reasons) and it's interesting to see how his style and approach clicks so much better in a full-on space opera setting. It's satisfyingly absorbing and immersive after a few chapters, where Terminal world promised lots but never really got its claws into me.

Edit: I mean 'charity' shop, but I think I like the typo better!

Ferrule-ing out visual puns, we'd need to (dia)compile some sort of forum pun rule-sheet.

As an avid pun fan, I know what you mean.

Brilliant - thanks for this. I'll let you know how it goes if I end up doing it.

There's some pretty in-spyre-ing in this thread lately.

A mate of mine does a cartoon in the guardian and has said that. Similar with trump.

Ha! Spot. On.
:-D

Don't encourage me - that's already rehashed from joke I made on Facebook about his new album being top of the iTunes download charts :-/

Ironically, Paul Nuttall invented the toilet seat.

Is anyone actually behind this partnership? I'm struggling to find positive articles / comment, for a bit of balance.

Cant see the photo, but know exactly which one you're on about :-D
