and lots of Tom Waits I've just found in my local oxfam (but damn them for actually pricing them correctly).

Hey Jezus, no harm intended, but the English language is ripe for swear words. Using 'gay' is either frankly lazy, or a bit stoopid. Your choice.

Incidentally, 'numpty' was voted one of Scotland's favourite words. I'm currently liking twunt as a swear word of choice. Right, I'm off to set up a support group for marginalised Graylings.

are there really 108 guests?

I could murder a cup. Can you make sure the handle on the cup doesn't quite work? :p

nah you just come across as a numpty with your 'gay' comment.

dogsballs this is a messy one, as the dude did RLJ.

and the prosecution conceded that and brought in it as part of their case from what I've read... [which is why she only got four (or five) years in jail plus the ban, which is a lot less than she *could *have got.] She got 'punished' and so did the cyclist...

bobob, I've probably got a compatible stronglight chainring somewhere at home. I'll take a look this weekend. whisper me your number again - got a new mobile and it went and deleted lots of my old contacts.

I'm sporting a dandy walking cane today (which is a step up from crutches), so I'll try and beat you all there, grab a table and fight off the Stonemasons regulars by waving the stick and shouting 'feckers' at them all.

ah leper, you're not that much of a short arse, so ignore the speedway stuff and just hunt for a small frame. but not one of those from that gumtree ad.

EDIT: shit that's a bit big

shit. fake badly worded legalese lawsuit pending...

I don't really get what they're doing. They *seem *to have some very basic bike reassembling skills and some elbow grease, but at those prices you may as well go to a Greasbys auction, buy a bike for a fiver, strip off the parts you don't need and then Bob's your mother's brother. That way you might even have two working brakes.

Andyf, if you're reading this, it sums up our bike recycling business plan!

"Personal Use officer, I hear they wear out quickly"?

Its just not very responsible selling bikes with only one brake, that and the fact that they brake (pedant alert, pun intended) the highway code or whatever law it is. They're cashing in on a trend. I've no problem with that, but its just not that safe.

Go and meet the Trixies, they'll help.

ps. CC, you're right.

skin suits?!

That singulatored bike up there ^^^ is from those people off gumtree isn't it?

http://www.gumtree.com/london/09/20584009.html I'm surprised they haven't got some stick from here yet...

Apart from the single speed - one brake thing (which i'm guily of myself) if you're going to go to all that effort of a respray, new wheels etc. maybe a cycle speedway bike to get round the fact that (like me) you're one of the little people is a better idea?

Then you get horizontal drop outs, potentially slightly smaller wheels, but they're intentially made smaller... I got my girlfriend one, she's only 5' 1 or something and it suits her. That and I like cycling on a bike with pink tassles on it.

you are William Gibson and I claim my five dorrah

Dean, I'm sorry for your friend. Hopefully what happened won't become just another statistic. Thoughts to you and his family.

jonny from the days of having six i am down to just the one. but bought no.2 today :) 3 and 4 are also on radar - yee haa!

are you sure Jonny? I'm sure i've seen you riding through brixton on two different bikes in the last week. We even had a chate the second time! I'm in denial about teh numbers of bikes i've now got. I find if you leave them at other people's houses you can always justify another one in the house.

Yeah, I'd be careful with Brockwell late at night, been a spate of random violence in there recently. Probably alright if there's more than one of you.

The moon's been pretty visible lately, so bright it stopped me sleeping the other night, as the curtains don't *quite *meet in the middle...

^^^ as Conan says, whisper me your deets and I'll get some cash over to you...

Hope you enjoy it Rosie!

Don't worry, I was thinking over it as I wandered through brixton shopping (incidentally, double braked pista spotted outside Barnardos) and realised that it wasn't to be mine. As Prav said, I've got enough (unfinished) bikes not to need to buy a new one. Just sharpened my resolve to go and buy some white bar tape tomorrow morning... oh and a new open pro rim, and some spokes, and a tube, and a white saddle, etc. etc.

Yeah, already done that last option. Twice. So i've the lovely baby blue geared bike with the *conveniently *stuck high seat post and the mini polo bike (which to be honest, she does ride, but its got a stupid low gearing, so its only suitable as a local bike), both of which were bought for her, but seem to be ridden by me on a regular basis.

She needs a shopper. A blinged shopper. Then I can get into the world of sturmey hubs. Oh and baskets. I've got a hankering for baskets.

And i've a heap of bikes to sell too, which may cover the cost of the soma. Hmm, i'll be off to buy the present, and then check the bank balance. Thank you all for providing empirical proof of the N+1 theory.

damn, i've got the cash for that soma, but its my girlfriends' birthday on monday.

Girlfriend vs. N+1

Life's current dilemma.

Went last year for music related stuff. Can't recommend it highly enough. They're **quite **into their techno there, but there was enough stuff to see to last you more than a week. I'll dig out some names of bars (mostly south of the river), which were memorable. One was a giant sand castle. In a basement.

ps Spa!
