It's great, but it means I barely use any of my allowance now that LH is also with them.

What train line?

Southeastern: Orpington to Kentish Town, getting on at Beckenham Hill, off at St Pancras.

How busy are the trains in the morning immediately after the cycle policy ends?

I'm bringing LH's shopper into town and don't fancy riding it 15 miles including Telegraph HIll, especially as the brakes need work.

I was posting a few things at once, so wrote what was going where on the envelopes. The double meaning didn't occur to me until you pointed it out.

New job in Camden finshes at 6, so going to miss everything except next week.

Make sure you have the KittenBlock addon if you are ever tempted to visit the DM website: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kitten-block/

It's still available. Will PM to arrange meet up.

Agreed. A Luath 26 could be a good frame to slap some nicer parts onto.

What's her inside leg? Heather has a 29" inside leg and saddle height is a problem, even on the Islabike.

Brompton withdrawn from sale, as I'm back in a job from tomorrow.

Not mine, but a slight bar wrapping OSM... From here:

I saw a review of it here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/898464-Rustoleum-s-Neverwet-bike-testing and thought about the Brompton, but the fact that it rubs off easily could make it unsuitable for a folder.

Cyclestreets now does turn by turn navigation and live recalculation, but it's a little late on calling the turns. It may work better on lanes than in the city.

A couple of reviews here from rhowe and me: http://www.lfgss.com/post3734821-11970.html

I can post. £3 postage for the brakes, as they'll be a small parcel.

Tried it today around London. It's... exciting.
The directions are announced a little late - you get no warning, so as you're passing a junction you'll get told to turn left. It's also rather keen to replan a route the moment you go off-track, which initially I found annoying but I think it's better than the alternative.

If they can get the announcements a little more in advance, it will be pretty awesome. The routes cyclestreets come up with are maybe a bit too optimal, being a bit too twisty without factoring in the time it takes to turn across traffic etc, but it does give it that rat-run feel and the routes it came up with were a lot of fun.

7/10

A little late is a bit generous. I used it to get me from Beckenham to Lewisham and it left me sat waiting at junctions a couple of times while I waited for an instruction. I also missed turnings as I was already past the turning before it gave me the direction and road name.

On the return journey I asked for the quietest route (I used balanced on the way out) and it made me cross the A21 at Lewishan High St(left out of George Lane and a quick right across 4 lanes of traffic into Hawstead Road called out at the last minute) and shortly after it told me to turn right onto the South Circular, at this junction where there's a no right turn.

It also failed to recalulate when I missed a junction after it told me to turn left at a roundabout immediately after telling me to go straight on.

It's still early days yet though; I'm sure the mapping will improve. It did get me to my destination the first time and managed to recalculate when I missed the turn, so there's a good base to start from. Earlier calls would definitely help.

Also 7/10, but that's probably a little stingy considering it's free.

I remembered that one of my mates worked at MTV for a short while, so checked with him. No suit; smart trousers and decent shirt.

I wore a suit to my interviews and first day then shorts and t-shirts and piercings from day two.

But my mad skillz kept me here not my dress sense.

I've not got time to get piercings...

I've got a job interview on Monday with MTV. 6 month contract in the media planning/operations department. What do I wear to the interview?

I think a suit is way overdressed. How about Rapha City trousers with a decent casual shirt?

One of the girls grabbed my bum

Are you bragging or complaining?

Righto, Zoidberg. Let me know.

It's all done via the limit screws from what I could tell.
