Went to TM Lewin on Jermyn St, the guys let me bring my bike inside (this was obviously pre-downpour), showed me the choices and were very friendly and helpful. Shirt was cheap too. I will look at other options for when I have a less pressing deadline. Cheers all (except those telling me to get a tailor-made £200 shirt the night before a wedding).

Ramnunas Navardrauskas, John Deglenclolb.

Thanks Phil and Paul.

Exactly, Hippy. Don't want to spend more than £30ish. Gonna get used for two weddings this year and not for a while/never again. White shirt at work would make me feel like being back at school. Will try to refrain from covering it in blood/piss but would rather not care if it does get bloody/pissy.

^ almost certainly on here.

Too pricey, noiser. Looks like TM Lewin have 15.5/36 at Jermyn St so I'll nip down there after work. I checked on the phone and the guy reckons he'd be alright to hold my bike in the store whilst I shop in lycra. Win.

Tyrwhitt only do 15.5/37 online. Indeed, they don't go bigger than 15.5/35 in store apparently.

Damn my gangly frame :(

Charles Tyrwhitt website is promising. Tried calling them but no answer... They might just sort me out. Needless to say, I'll report back.

^ I was intending to wear a tie. I was not intending to go dressed as Doctor No.

This incident sounds a lot worse than you initially made out.

Ha! Shades of lynchman.

Gieves & Hawkes or GTFO >>>>>>>>>>

£80 per shirt! >>>>>>>>>>

Should've said, I tried TM Lewin and M&S at Moorgate, neither of them do them in store in my size (arm length is the problem). According to both I've got to look online.

Also, I'm not fat so high and mighty is useless as it's made for those who are wider than they are tall.

I need a white shirt for a wedding tomorrow, nothing super fancy but nothing crap either. Ideally in 15.5 collar, 37.5 arms. Would settle for 36" arms. Any idea where I can buy something suitable after work today?

Ha, he didn't say it in a bad way. He appeared grateful to me for stopping, but was assuring me that I didn't have to run into the middle of 3 lanes of traffic to retrieve his bits. I wished him luck and went about my day.

Definite yes to HCB, you might even get to see my housemate on snare!

Looks good, but:

typo 'in the cycle land'

Don't know what this means? 'cut in front before giving me any space'

The bit about him being in left hand lane, presumably you were approaching in right hand lane?

Fair enough wanting to remain anonymous. Did you actually spot the driver? Was it someone you recognised? Who are you going to send the complaint to? If you roadsafe it, that gets sent anonymously, right?

Chap overtook me on Tollington Rd, shortly thereafter his wallet popped out of his jersey pocket and exploded in a shower of cards and cash in the middle of the road. I stopped to help but he said he had it under control.

^ did you do a cool, nonchalant landing?

10CC now languishing in 13th place - Froome and King are my only abandons but Nico Roche and Svein Tuft haven't been much use. Pinot's not done too badly and even dribbly old Ten Dam has done ok.

No chance I'll be slipping the puce jersey on even if Tony Martin's legs are alright for the TT and Kittel comes good on the Champs Elysee though.

pinot catching majka!

time trial position? wtf phil and paul?

octopodes!

Now I know it's not me going nuts, I'm enjoying it. I'll stick with it.

clear but slow. aah this is so weird. maybe i'm having a stroke or something?

I'm streaming itv4 at work and the commentary seems to be ever so slightly slow. Both Phil and Paul sound like stoned barry whites. I don't know if it's just my stream, but all audio seems a bit slow. Same with the skoda music...

This is so weird. I hope it's not my ears that are broken.

^^ did you end up as his pillion?
