Hopefully she'll be able to steer clear of nude coloured tights.

And also "American tan" tights - we had to wear them for tap dancing. They're basically shiny orange. Grim.

I see everyone is jumping on the feeder ride bandwagon! Nothing will beat the awesomeness of mine and Apollo's...

I'm so gutted the paralympics is coming to an end :( Not gutted enough to watch the closing ceremony though.

Something on my bike went bang very loudly as I rode to work this morning. Can't see anything wrong and I carried on riding (after checking it out) fine afterwards. Should I worry about it?

I'd be up for a beer at LMNH if only I could find my bike...

I'll be there, pretending to hate the europop but actually loving it, with assorted members of my family...

This terrapin looks lovely! I wish I could take him but I'm not allowed pets :(

Terrapins take so little time, they're really easy pets to have and while they're not exactly cute or cuddly (I mean, you can try cuddling them but they'll just bite you), they're really interesting, lovely to look at and quite amusing.

All he needs is a tank with water and a big stone under a lamp to sit on, some food put in the tank every now and then (crabsticks!) and occasional cleaning out - I can't remember how often it was but the hamster I had as a kid was WAY more hassle.

This thread read my mind - I was thinking just this morning that the time had come to get my yearly haircut before I start chopping bits off with scissors.

I'll get in touch when I know when I have some free time :)

Yes please on the velcro ones, I’ll PM you...

Sorry to hear about your friends bike, Skully - sounds lovely. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

In case it doesn't come back, I think this mixte frame is still for sale: http://www.lfgss.com/thread90646.html
I have the exact same one, except mine is much rattier.

your family get-togethers have a dress code?!

This!
I wish my family get-togethers had dress codes!!

I'm going to a wedding the day before - if I'm not totally dead then I'd like to come. I will eat Twinkies the whole way...

Last night was amazing, I had such an awesome time. Saw Jonnie Peacock equal the paralympic record in the mens 100m. Also saw his mum (who works with my mum and was "off sick" yesterday on the big tv screens).

Saw Oscar Pistorius in his 100m heats and then winning gold and setting a new world record in the 4x100m relay.

Saw tons of new world records set, saw loads of fantastic sporting achievements, saw no politicians, had an all round brilliant time.

I have almost no voice left today :)

I will report back on all booing and cheering. I hope we get someone really boo-able, but not George Osborne as the mere sight of him gives me the creeps.

Yep :)
I’m going with my mum, I hope she likes face paints too... sadly I don’t have the colours for her national flag so she’ll have to pretend to be British for the day.

I’m going to the athletics tonight – I am so ridiculously excited. I got up really early to plan a special red, white and blue outfit and have face paints with me (any excuse for face paints). This afternoon cannot go fast enough...

Someone just shouted some obscene filth at me in the street - I wasn’t even on a bike, I just seem to attract the weirdos.

I reckon I’m shouted at just as much while riding as before the Olympics, though now I do get the occasional “Pendleton!” in amongst the random abuse.

Stonehedge - I have the cantilever brakes with me today and could swing by the pub late-ish if you’re about? If not, not to worry, they can sit under my desk at work (I’d rather clutter my office than clutter my house).

I have recently installed strava on my galaxy s2 it never finds gps and if the screenlocks or times out the gps disconnects. infuriating! Anyone with an s2 have strava and it works?! endomondo works every time but no one really uses it

I have a galaxy s2 and most of the time strava works fine. Occasionally it can't find gps signal, but other than that it's fine. Maybe uninstall and reinstall? The app got updated quite recently.

is betty going to make that amazing cake again? I've made it for 'nuff friend's birthdays and it's always a crowd pleaser.

I think so, yes, and I think someone else is also making cake. Need more cake!!

At long bloody last, I spotted HoKe - riding past my office this evening.

I saw Shinkuu Kiss in the same spot last week. The joys of working on the hipster spice route I guess!

Agree!

I've doodled - it was the mention of brownies that did it...

You joke, but...
