YEAH SCRAPPER!

Cool, I don't need it urgently and i'm working at rollapalooza tonight.

I'll be cargo-ing tomorow and friday though, if that would be ok.

Skully,

Lisa was a messenger with On Yer Bike (bufallo Bill's first company), then left and started creative with half of OYB's clients.
Doing this has made her very well off, and she doesn't really have the same connection to bikes that she used to have (or, dare I say, to riders. Although she is better than most).

I think it had 12v, but I can't bloody find the thing. It started smoking last week and I put it somewhere safe to cool down...

I don't know off-hand, but it is probably just a standard 12V transformer cable - you could try Maplin.

Hmm, will do. I don't even know where to begin with most of this sort of thing...

I don't know...

it doesn't look exactly like my old one, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work. I know nothing about computers, this is how I've ended up with my laptop being ten years old and smoking.

Do you do any of the drinks? I could bring said beast with me and see if your plug fits.

He's lying, girls LOVE couriers.

That's why I do it. For the ladies.

And I always ask for and get my courier discount in pretty much every bike shop I decide to grace with my presence.

Exactly, round and black.

waking up without a hangover.

Why does it seem like a rare event these days?

My nearly ten year old laptop is unusable now as the cable started smoking and bubbling the other day.

I need to replace it with a better computer (and if your selling something that I can run adobe illustrator on, i'm probably interested) but I also want to get the stuff on my laptop off of it. So f you have a very old cable laying about, can I borrow it?

Pip, when Bambi was over here for a month he was running Chub Hubs.

He is a full time NYC messenger, as well as being one of the fastest things on two wheels. He got them cheap off Trackstar because no one was interested because they didn't see anyone riding them around town, so he got to be product tester/promoter.

So, I think they're ugly, not my style at all. He loves them, they are light, smooth, and he figures they ride just as well as his phil woods ever did. So there you go, if you want to ask him personaly i'll send you his e-mail

I don't know, mellon. This is what radio four does, it does documentries about interesting people, or people going through hard times. Did you hear the one they did about the auto factory workers a few years ago? Totally riviting, and I don't work in a factory or drive a car (not since my license was revoked, anyways). They also did a follow up, and I ended up taking time off work to hear it, one of the guys had started up a theatre training program that he took into schools, another one was still unemployed, another was re-training at a college... all normal people talking about problems that could easily effect any of us. And if your not interested/concerned about economic down turn, then you have bigger problems than not being a radio four fan.

I'll try and come.

I seem to have a normalicy barometer. Every time I start to be more normal, some chemical reaction happens in my head and I need to quite my job and start painting, writing new comic books, riding too fast and drinking too much.

I can't really recommend this to anyone, but I'm mostly happy.

Well, this place was amazing. Before I cleaned my act up, IE the first year I lived there, I slept under a leaky roof with an old piano as a headboard and a bottle of jamisons sitting on it. Used to drink it first thing in the morning while sitting in front of the gas fire and playing with the cats. I think I thought I was tom waits.

Bambi rates them and I rate him.

Although they are pretty pricey.

It was more of a stable than a barn. I loved it, the owner was a friend of mine and I moved in to start doing it up. I had a years worth of free rent, then I paid three hundred a month. It needed too much help though, I managed to put a kitchen in, tile the bathroom for a shower, re-wire the electrics, and make progress on the leaky roof, but I couldn't do the work on the house and work a normal job. So I moved out. But I do miss it.

No good deed ever goes un-punished, as my mother would say.

Georgie needed an ex-couple to write up about, so Jon and I volunteered. The writing is good, I just sound like an idiot. Which is actually pretty likely to be the truth.

I looked, but didn't see it. In the special special section?

I have an uber unusual 531 sticker on my bike, and I need to get it re-sprayed before next winter. Should a try and save it or does anyone know how to convince reynolds to make me another one, or can I some how make a new one myself from a photograph?

It's for 531 curved tubing...a really rare thing that they pretty much only allowed the taylor bros to mess with.

WiganWill- Just because I'm dead doesn't mean you can touch my bike with your filthy, dirty two wheeled contraption.

along the same lines as RPM, "Bicycles chained to this tomb will not be removed"

I would try and figure one out for hippy, but something tells me he'll still find a way to post on here.

Platini- At last I've placed the finaly period.

hurricane, does it "chill your bones" because you know Chris or because of the way the article was written?

If I didn't know either of them I would find the article well written and interesting even if it is an expose (I know there should be an accent on that, just don't know where).

Bare in mind that Georgie is a struggling journalist, when she was aproached about writting an article for the observer it would have been tough for her to say no. And if what she says is at all true, then you can't blame her for doing it (and yes, she was aproached, she didn't sell her story "OK!" style).
