Haha, that’s brilliant!

I have a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday but suspect that trying to combine a referral for my arm with getting a medical certificate saying that I’m fine may result in a puzzled look and a point blank refusal.

Looks like I’ll have to get 2 appointments and count on the fact that no one in the surgery talks to anyone else!

I see, thanks!

I might have to bribe a doctor...

I just had an email from the organisers saying (this is via google translate, as my knowledge of Italian extends to the names of pizzas and the word ‘prosecco’):

Good morning, following an audit, we have verified that your registration appears to be incomplete.
It missed the medical certificate.
This is essential to the completion of registration.
In the event that possessed the badge of their sports club will be sufficient photocopy of the same.

Did anyone else get this email, and what does it mean?!

Oooh I want to see the tattoo design!!

I think the more memorabilia the better. Perhaps we could get commemorative pint glasses made. Everyone could have glass ones except for Braker :)

^^^Yes! I wonder if he'll retract the statement or pursue it further.

esstee, hats and me in the van playing strip poker, singing songs, i-spy, chatting up the locals on route.

Ha! I am actually very excited about the drive, I hope you two like 80s power ballads and James Bond theme tunes...

This afternoon I decided I'd had enough of sitting about in the house and went for a ride, towards Box Hill (I planned to actually go to Box Hill but it started raining when I got near and I thought fuck it and didn't bother).

Highlight was stopping near the traveller camp south of Carshalton and having a chat with a boy who asked me why my pedals look so weird and whether I could do a wheelie. He asked me where my husband was and was horrified to find out that I am 28 and NOT MARRIED.

Lowlight was alternating pain/pins and needles in my right hand (now spreading up my arm), I had to stop a couple of times to wait for the feeling to come back. During one of these stops I noticed that I could see really weird shapes around passing cars, and it took a little while to realise that I was hallucinating. By the time I got back to London I was having a bit of an issue as I couldn't tell which cars were parked and which were moving. It was annoying as I thought I'd eaten and could avoid this, but when I thought about it, I realised I hadn't had a proper meal since friday. If my housemate doesn't come home soon I'm going to become completely feral.

All in all, a slightly frustrating ride, particularly as I got lost due to not reading road signs properly. Oh, and I got called a cunt by a driver, which I always appreciate. On the other hand, I got a very enthusiastic thumbs up from a cyclist going the other way, and it was nice to be out and about. Maybe next weekend will be better...

Haha, love it, Al. Who cheated and had the half pint?!

No, but I eat kiwis. The fruit, not the bird, honest!

And what's wrong with equestrian pursuits?

Is it cos they isn't lambs?

Exactly, I'm not French and therefore do not eat horses. Lambs on the other hand...

I had one of those climbing in my 2nd floor window the other week. It sat on my bedroom ceiling and waited until it was dark to DROP DOWN ONTO MY FACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

That is horrible!! I'm not squeamish, but bugs + face + nighttime = too much!

If only I could :(
Don't forget your loyalty card, reverend!

Hoke - yeah, they also sell an Oxford Magnum (gold sold secure) for £30, rrp £60 which amazes me. alas i need a chain lock as the only thing to lock to outside the flat is a lamp post, so i need the flexibility.

Was gonna get this badboy - http://www.decathlon.co.uk/chain-bike-lock-id_8168162.html

Hattie - YES. Tinnies in the kayak, yay!

Decathlon is just such bargains. I really, really want to go again. I could convince myself I need a new lock. I reckon I need another bell. I could do with a saddlebag so that I have one for every bike. I could buy more hipster cereal bars. And I could relax with a cold refreshing beer wearing a lifejacket in a stationary kayak afterwards.

Looks like I've got my saturday afternoon lined up.

We could get beers and sit in the canoes at Decathlon.

Anyone up for beer this evening? I'm going to head to LMNH after work (6 ish?) and then maybe elsewhere after.

Maybe, depending on what time I finish work and how homicidal I'm feeling...

I had cocktails at the Haymarket Hotel (Suffolk Place, near Traf Sq) recently - it's not all that far from Covent Garden and it was very nice. The chairs in the bar had a variety of applique dogs on the back, if that's of any interest at all (it was to the people I was with).

Last in, first out? Maybe... as unfortunately I’m out. Too injured to ride :(

Please can someone wheelie up Ditchling again, and can there be lots of photos? Thanks!

For longer updates, yes. I expect twitter updates on a much more regular basis.

aw. It's only for a couple of days, back next Wednesday. I think you guys will be ok without me. :)

Will you send regular updates on how you are?

You can borrow my nelson longflap if you like, it's enormous. I have a seatpost attachment thingummy.

Sorry if has been discussed elsewhere but has anyone got tickets or plans to see any of the Paralympic events?

Yep, going to see athletics next week :) I'm going with my mum - she is so ridiculously excited, it's very sweet.

If anyone has any equestrianism tickets that they don't want then please let me know... not for me I hasten to add!

For the record, I am absolving myself of all responsibility here...

They're yours for the price of a beer. If you figure them out you have to give us all a lesson in how they work.

The fit on the Owayo shirts is fine so long as you don't need to cantilever your boobs in. If, like me, you need a crane to hoist them into place before zipping up, you're going to have problems. The large size on me is tight across the prow and madly baggy and flappy in the waist. The material is, like hats says, good quality.

Haha, seems like we have the same problem with those tops!
