And at what stage would he have chiselled/dictated that?
You've not really thought this through, have you?

It's a miracle!

Tynan: "Oh shit - hi, God."

I'd prefer Everton in the next round. Otherwise Liverpool will somehow bring back Robbie Fowler to score a hat-trick against us again.

I find this a bit morbid. Cheer up - it's just a cold.

Piece of piss from here on in...surely?

very dark, ed!

When I was boarding in Flaine last year, we were heading back at the end of the day - at the top ofthe final red run home were a couple of local yoot on fuck-off downhill bikes with studded tyres waiting for the slopes to clear before making the run.

Looked kind of incongruous.

I would love to have a go at this though...

Not all bicycles...

Is this the picnic girl, or the brakeless crash girl, or another one, or are they all the same?

Confused of London's famous London

Not quite. I was at the hospital this morning and lots of the staff failed to make it in.. they were rescheduling appointments for April.. and this was today when there was essentially fuck all wrong with transport. Who knows what the hospital was like yesterday?

Ok - I take that back. A&E staff are a bunch of workshy, lazyarse monkeys.

Why does it bother you that people want to skive at any given opportunity? Do you work in A&E?

I don't mind the skiving particularly. I had a couple of hours off in the afternoon to go and muck about in the snow with the kids and it was the happiest i've been in ages.

I just think people should admit that, rather than saying how impossible it was to get anywhere. I'm sure the A&E staff managed to get in and were probably inundated with fractures and shit.

It was physically impossible for me to get to work yesterday, central line was practically shut down, buses weren't running, my car was in for a service, and there was no way I was cycling at 5mph for 9 miles lol, so I got told not to bother coming in, however businessas usual today :)

Eh? So how did those of us who did cycle in get there?

I think you mean you couldn't be arsed to get in.

Most of my team got in, though barely anyone else bothered. One girl, clearly pissed off with getting in when no-one else in her dept was, moaned about what a terrible, difficult journey it had been and how she would have to set off soon to get back safely. She came in from fucking Clapham, on the normally running Northern Line, FFS.

simplest method in mental arithmetic is to divide chainwheel teeth by rear cog teeth then times wheelsize
ie: 48t chainwheel divided by 17t sprocket times 27" wheel = 76 inches

Ha! Mental arithmetic...48/17x27 = erm, errr, erm.

There's still a lot of ice on side roads that haven't been salted.

Still, small crashing incident apart, that was the most fun commute I've ever had. MTB with low pressure in knobblies...

Clapham common, Battersea Park, Hyde Park and the canal - crunchy snow, even still some fresh patches. Ace. Lovely and sunny, snowmen everywhere and not having to run the gauntlet of snowballs like yesterday.

Even looking forward to the slushy ride home.

The boss says we can go now, so look out Sarf London, JAH Tim heading home...
Please take it easy 'pon the roads folks....

+1

Here we go again....

just had a text off a mate, people snowboarding down primrose hill thats something i thought i would not see in london. lots of fun to be had :)

I'm off in a hour or so, and just round the corner. May swing up just to get jealous.

I <3 Moots.

But I really want a pugsley today.

The bloody snowball that was thrown at my head wasn't. Grrr!

You've got to expect that today, really.

Balham to Primrose Hill on 23's with a good dose of HTFU.

Rather stupidly neglected to take the mtb which I regretted for the deep smowy bits. Some vague mental theory about thin tyres cutting through the snow to get better traction. Twat.

What a great trip though. Waving at the few other cyclists, most cars giving plenty of room and driving slower than us. Only one fucktard of a van overtaking at about 30 spraying me with slush. And only 2 snowball attacks.

The slushy main roads are fine, the hardpack snow is OK, but I had a couple of really sketchy moments on the halfway stuff.

(and remembered to bring in spair socks for the ride home. Woot!)

it's not really mine..... why the hell would i go to Balham?

Keep the dry lubes for summer. In winter you need a thick old greasy wet lube - and clean it when you can hear the grinding over your ipod.

[pub knowledge] soaking your rusty chain overnight in chainsaw oil might bring it back to life.[/pub knowledge]

We spotted a Bob Jackson and another fixed bike outside Balham Sainsburys yesterday (locked on the car park side) so who knows.

Blimey - there's usually only a wheel-less rusted shopper and a few apollo beauties there.
That's gentrification for you.

Bad luck - glad you're ok. At least you can look forward to a new build 'on the house' as it were.

BTW - did his wheelchair have Phil hubs?

Why has he got one on his penis (see 13 seconds)?

Freak.
