Saw a bloke riding through Camden Town today with ginger dreads and a stupid wispy beard.
Toeclips and straps with bare feet...
Mate, it's January, and you impressed no-one.

I don't know if it's on again, but there's a whole season of Howard Hawks movies.
To Have and Have Not is on in the first half of feb, worth going to see just for Lauren Bacall.

Bringing Up Baby at the BFI this afternoon. Cary Grant rules.

Glad I've found this thread, tonights reading sorted.

Stupidly just signed up to do Leeds half marathon in May.

I haven't run for about 2 years and am very overweight. This is going to be a challenge (:

Good luck Mate, just be warned that it's highly addictive.

it just sounds too easy. Don't I have to format the new drive or something?

Just ordered a 1TB drive to replace the failing drive in my G5.
According to my afternoon's reading about such stuff, once the new drive is fitted I can boot from the Leopard disc and then backup straight from my time capsule.
It sounds worryingly easy, what have I forgotten?

It was tottenham court road at midnight and there was an overweight guy with a beard in a skimpy tutu and fairy wings. Paying the max fare wasn't high on anyone's list of things to consider.

Giant image, so clicky

I think that must be a pretty well known hack. I've seen a bloke dressed as a fairy using a magic wand oyster card to make the barriers open at Tottenham Court Road tube station.

Ran to work this morning along the canal. A fair few bikes and runners coming the other way but the only person to return my cheery good morning greetings was a rather puffed-out looking Boris Johnson. I wouldn't have marked him down as a runner, but fair play to him for having a go.

I'm using conti grand prix 3000, generally pretty good as long as I keep them pumped up.
Anything wider than 26x1 feels horrible and heavy.

I hit something big in a puddle this morning. I usually try and go round them but the traffic made me run right through a big one. I don't know what I hit but it was big and solid, made a proper thunk and bruised both thumbs.
I got about 100m before the front tyre went flat, and I was close enough to work that I didn't bother changing the tube.
I had to do the SPD shuffle through Canary Wharf looking like some kind of half drowned ninja though.
My favourite thing about commuting is putting wet lycra back on to come home in.

They look good, go fast, make a lovely sound, are practical, quick through traffic and above all, FUN.[/QUOTE]

Hell yeah.

No point wingeing about "the rude man on the nasty, noisy motorbike scared me". This is london, traffic is dangerous, harden the fuck up.

right then, I'm off out to nick a granite gravestone...

Very nice. Plus it looks like it can transform into a killer robot.

Exactly, but coal actually has a use. Diamonds are incredibly expensive, but virtually useless.

Not strictly a product, but Diamonds for fucks sake, they're just posh coal.

The paps were ok. It was the fans who made all the noise.

Anyhoo, back to food.
That meat on a stone thing looks awesome. Would a domestic oven ever be able to get a stone hot enough to do that? I have a griddle pan, but the hot stone appeals to my inner caveman.

The first film I ever saw in the cinema was Star Wars, and everyone stood up and clapped at the end. It's the only time i've seen it happen and it still vaguely disappoints me that it's never happened again.

Two doors down from me. Thank fuck she moved.

Depends a lot on traffic lights, and how many you pay attention to. My old 5 mile commute could take me 15 mins with all green lights, or 30 mins with all red lights.

Yep, depends on traffic as well. My commute is 12km-ish, tomorrow I'm on earlies, so I'll leave my house at 05:20 and it takes just over 30 mins depending on traffic lights. Coming home at 5:30 will take at least 45 minutes.

Why are low energy lightbulbs so awful?
These ones are supposed to be equivalent to 100w bulbs, but the room has turned into a gloomy pit of despair and I can't see to read.

Don't ring 999 though, obvs.

Where is your nearest Fire Station?
Those dudes love practicing with their jaws of life, they'll do the lock for the price of a pint or two.

I've got Kyrano kevlar longjohns, made by the same people as Hood jeans. They are a bit hot in summer, but no worse than leather, and they are very tough.
