Well, the Astoria is no more :( I'm pretty sad about it. My first proper gig there when I was 13 before I moved to London and had some awesome nights there.

Any fond memories of the place?

£300 seems ok. It's not very aesthetically pleasing though...
I'd rather one of these (although it is £470):

Opinion on atacs, buy them, fit them, forget about them. Flawless.
And really don't worry about them not looking right, as dovoneil says you won't be able to see them. If you were that worried about the form over function you'd be using toeclips.+1
I've been riding mine for about a year now, truly fit and forget.

I only worry that I am excercising too much. I climb and canoe once a week, run every other day and cycle a 12 mile round trip to work 5 days a week.
You'll feel it when you are, I did.
Last year I went a bit over the top. I was commuting everyday 6 miles each way on my bike, weights every other day, 3 mile run in the evening on non-weights days, then staying up late studying or if I was studying, out drinking.
I was just knackered all the time; falling asleep in lectures, couldn't concentrate, etc. I didn't gain any muscle mass either. I don't bother with weights now at all.

The only time I've seen a penny farthing, it was jumping a red light on Sloane Street.
And I think the rider was wearing tweed too..
That reminds me of one Sunday morning last year when I was riding towards Embankment, I saw a, errr, peloton of tweed wearing penny farthingerengers riding up the Mall. Even had the facial hair that you'd expect an authentic penny farthing rider to have! :)
Must have been about 8 of 'em. They did look quite impressive! I was tempted to turn round and ride and have a chat but didn't in the end.

Well I'm not sure about the whole 2009 PC stuff and what's "right" or "allowed" these days.. but I know I shared "racist" insults with some of my best mates in school.
Ive always had the opinion that your only ever truly friends with someone when you can take the piss out of each other.
The extremity of the piss taking being almost an exact measure of closeness, when a bunch of blokes can share racial insults in good spirit, they are truly blood brothers.
The prince incident could have just been a display of playful comradery which I am leant towards believing.
Exactly.
It's the bloody News of the World stirring shit up.
MoD, from the BBC article:
"We are not aware of any complaint having been made by the individual. Bullying and racism are not endemic in the Armed Forces."
Parasitic is a bit over the top. Afterall, the Royal Family do turn a profit.

Last year I lived in university halls and now I live in a shared house and I found that most insurers aren't interested in providing contents cover because it's fairly high risk. Endsleigh cover my contents but LCC insurance I use for my bike - Endsleigh aren't really interested unless you have a single receipt for your whole bike, ideally from Halfords.... which is useless for a lot of us.

not if you are a skinny racing snake i get a frozen backside this time of year if i wear summer shorts.
ahh, looks like i'm going to be overly warm in the summer then, because my arse isn't cold now ... i've yet to wear lycra in the summer, only started wearing it october time last year when my commute doubled.
What do you guys wear over tights? I'm thinking of getting some for these crazy cold mornings we're having, but I'm not ready to show my Lycra-clad bum to the world...
When it's really cold and/or pissing it down, I wear Endura singletrack shorts over the top of lycra shorts + leg warmers. Very warm and the shorts help keep my arse dry. Otherwise just my Nike running shorts, but recently not been bothering. They feel like they're slowing me down loads!
^ It is for Crossrail.
They're putting the cement mixer there.
Stupid fucking crossrail.
