No, they're not - they mean something. You couldn't say that a luminous green jumper was understated, could you.

Can't I do both?

Nah - 'classy' is not a subjective term; it pertains to particular qualities; elegance, refinement, understatement.

And nor is 'stylish'. Style, by its own definition, conforms to a certain sense of what's fashionable - be that contemporary fashion, or a more timeless (classy) look.

That Kushtown horror is not in any way classy. It could be considered stylish, if it is indeed indicative of the sort of thing that prevails right now; I wouldn't know on that score.

Of course, individual tastes are purely subjective, but adjectives like 'classy' and 'stylish' subscribe to more collective sensibilities. That's why such words exist; to specify not that something looks good, but by what manner it achieves this.

The Hour by Michael Hutchinson is the best written book on cycling I've come across.

But Slaying the Badger is the most exciting.

It's ethnocentrism gone mad!

Er - it'll be 130; or rather, it won't be 126.

That's a nice bike - again, shame not my size.

Fair price too, I would have thought.

Oh no, he be dead now: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29505646

Well, a few people have told you they think you've set the price a too high, but the same people have also said it's a nice looking frame. The price is obviously the issue, rather than the frame itself, which does look lovely. Nearer £300 perhaps?

Christ, no wonder you're selling it. This needs to find itself a 6 footer.

It looks to be in great condition - GLWS!

Ah yes, you had that Venom, which I had my eyes on before you bought it (and subsequently sold). I'm guessing you're about 51 11" then?

Can't beat a bit of panto. Are you tempted, Anidel?

Jesus - good price! Too big for moi.

'pierced paw pads'

I like your alliteration.

Yes, but I don't think so in this instance. This doesn't sound like a spontaneous act of sabotage; it appears to me that this guy very deliberately went about acquiring drawing pins to then take out with him and lay down in the path of bikes. He didn't chance upon them whilst out walking the dog, and, should his scheme succeed, I don't imagine him thinking to himself, 'oh no, what have I done.'

No, kids don't; grown men do. Let's not try and ameliorate this guy's behavior by making out he thinks it's a bit of harmless fun - he is intending to cause a puncture, simple as.

Fair point.

He obviously very much IS thinking about the consequences of his actions - it's not a coincidence that he's dropping pins into this cyclist's path, is it.

Why doesn't he just knock him out?

Good price - GLWS

Anyone interested in a Waffa/PS jersey

I read that as, 'Anyone interested in a Waffen/SS jersey.'

And I'm rather disturbed to find such a thing actually exists:

Don't normally do current team jerseys, but I'll make an exception for Caja Rural:

[I've heard that Luis Leon Sanchez - pictured above - has signed for Astana]

That's the Vos, right? Fantastic picture.

25% off for a 'lipomassage', whatever the hell that is. It's near Ravenscourt Park if you fancy it?

Are you sure? Is this a double bluff? I think you are Kevin Spacey.

Are you actually Kevin Spacey?
