I don't like independent financial advisers. Specifically I hate paying to put petrol in their poxy BMWs. NEVER fix - over time you may suffer a few ups and downs, but the freedom to change is worth far more than being locked into the bankers' trough.
On the other hand, you may fix your wheels, apparently.

Tripe? Oven mitts? I think Mr. Wig must be a chef somewhere. Harvester? Anyway I went out and bought oven mitts. Then I cut holes in the ends for my fingers and I can type perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
Actually the bike I bought seems pretty fab. It looks like Harry Hill because one of the decals is peeling. campagnolo everything - including the heaviest clunkiest pedals imaginable. Just did a search and they are Campagnolo Look clipless pedals in a sort of ceramic-looking off-white. Bizarre. Will need to sort cleats and the right kind of footwear. Where are those white stilettoes when you need them?
Pedals for sale. -

Oh Yeah, cycling... Well Saturday was an 8am start 30 miler around the Broads: Tunstead, Wroxham, Salhouse, Upton, Acle. Started to rain/bucket so had to dive into a boozer at 10am. Oh no there's a full English breakfast for £4.95 and a POOL TABLE! The punishing schedule as a top athlete had to take a back seat. Yum!

Miss Bones! I don't do bicycle helmets. Never did, Never will. Loathe 'em. Don't wear a pedestrian helmet either. I only wear a helmet in bed when necessary: the best contraceptive ever.
Helmets have no advantage for me: very thick skull. I'm just being considerate to the pathologists: when the juggernaut of doom eventually rolls over me, there'll be no bits of plastic to dissect out at post mortem.

Hello Gents, For extra safety remember to wear your helmet in bed. It's especially risky there - and a stupid plastic no-good propaganda-driven, fashion-item-piece-of-polycarbonate-head-enlarging piece of Shenzhen-moulded cobblers will act as a superb contraceptive. Dear God! When will you flutes get sense?

Hey Mr. Bones, Broken scaphoid is a bad business (potentially). The blood vessel that keeps the scaphoid bone alive may be torn in this injury. This can lead to failure of the two bits to unite if you don't keep your wrist immobilised for long enough. If there is non-union you can get severe arthritis. Do what you're told by the Doctor (Orthopaedic surgeon?) looking after you - even if it means 12 weeks off heavy wrist use - er... if you know what I mean.

Hi Wig! I've been away up my colon for the last two weeks, so I couldn't reply to your post. If it's not a height thing is it a hair thing? Jeez. My mate WonderBrian just bought a TERRY DOLAN instrument on ebay which looks positively aeronautical. Three times a week up the North Walsham Rd. at 6am the BASTARD is doing 28mph. And I'm on my Harry Hill watching that MAMIL arse in the distance. I hate middle age.
