Like changing sheets?

That's a movable feast, Oliver. Wearing undergarments next to one's nether regions is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

"'Pajamas' is actually spelt 'pyjamas'."

except 'pajamas' is correct too. we went through this way back, me and shinscar.

Terribly sorry for being a 'newbie'. I will go and kill myself over in the corner for your delectation.

Are they not plural, then, like troosers?

People who sleep naked have to change their sheets, on average, 7 times faster than those who observe basic hygiene rituals.

'Pajamas' are actually spelt 'pyjamas'.

The East Coast National Rail from London to Edinburgh, which often stops at York often does it, from what I've seen. Ive seen endless people with bikes coming off it, BUT I could be wrong.

I get that train with my bike all the time. You have to book your bike on in adavnce, and if the allotted spaces are gone, they're gone. I don't know the limit but it's not more than a handful.

Edit: five, thanks for the link, Oliver.

PS. Am I the only bloke that take an inordinately long time passing women? I've been known to slipstream a girl riding a Pashley at 5mph.

Men, in my experience, on whatever type of bike, absolutely HATE being overtaken by female cyclists.

Which makes it pretty fun.

My mum used to carry me around in a child seat too. Apparently, I used to fall asleep a lot, and, my being a pretty big baby, the first she would know about it was when the bike would veer sideways as I lolled to one side.

Ha!

If you don't want new members, close registrations. Or start charging for new ones.

I don't particularly understand why there's supposed to be a causal link between time spent on the board and idiocy, but there you go.

I'm always impressed by women and men carrying kids in child seats. It looks incredibly difficult getting on without the bike tipping over.

I think possibly my earliest memory is being propelled out of the child seat when my Mum came off the bike on black ice. Into a ditch full of stinging nettles. She never drove and we lived in the middle of nowhere, so we each had a few years in the childseat before we could cycle ourselves. Never traumatised me, though…

Does coeliac disease count as an allergy?

Just curious like.

No, that's more acceptable altogether. Phew!

Gie us one.

I secretly suspect everyone who has allergies including hayfever to have been mollycoddled as a child.

Either there's no such thing as fish, or we're all fish.

Told to me by the fish curator of the Natural History Museum, when he came to a poker game at my flat once. It means that, to find a common ancestor for everything we call a fish, you have to go so far back that it's our common ancestor too.

Blew. My. Mind.

Are you refering to the capital K in my user name?

If so, it is because it is the only letter that actually appears my real name.

Hmmm. A likely story.

This seems to be happening a fair bit. I was sitting on my bike outside topshop at Oxford circus waiting for my sister and some people from one of those 'style' website thingummys asked to take pictures. I think it was mainly about the bike as I was dressed pretty scruffily and Im no hipster. I let them though, and the pictures were nice quality. Then I saw someone else taking a picture of me when I was stopped at the lights. Bit weird not to be asked, or to know what use its going to be put to.

We haven't even begun to address the more pertinent question of the eccentric capitalisation.

why pickle? i hear you ask, because i get called pickle

You should try and take it as a condiment.

Lovely.

I have not had that particular pleasure, Marky.

haha!

ok, the reason I think it's too big is that 21" is 53.5cm. Aparrently (and according to the stalkers) ldngrrl is 5'5" so is gonna need a 50-52 frame. Probably.

I agree. Spooky.

You'd be ok but it's not ideal. A 50/52cm would be, probably.

That said, everyone's proportions are different, so who knows.

Get off the fucking fence Fred

His legs don't reach :(

and too big (unless you have disproportionately long arms and legs).

Girls always have longer legs than men, though, relatively speaking.

Shit thing is though, finding high calorie foods when you're allergic to dairy like me is a bloody nightmare...especially in small local shops once you're on the road :(

Home-made cashew nut butter is incredibly calorific, and a good way to get a shit load of nuts into a small container. Highly recommended for long rides.

Just dry fry 300 grams of cashews in a wok till they're brown and toasted, then blitz them for ten minutes till the oils are released by the heat of the food processor. Add salt.

I ride a 21 inch frame and I'm 5'6", if that helps, Lndngrrl (what did vowels ever do to you, by the way? :D)

How tall are you?

And 21" is 53 cm, not 52. One of my other bikes is 52, and that's 20 and a half. If you see what I mean.
