This should be none of your concern. You want a shed, so you ask for one. Don't worry about anyone esle

Going by that photo I would imagine he's not short of offers!

I ride through Accrington fairly often with my CTC club. We often go out from there through Pendle or use the cycle path past Whiteburk Ind Estate and from there down into Richester. A choice of quiet country lanes from there and the whole of the Ribble Valley to go at, or from Pendle work your way up into the Yorkshire Dales. You are in a nice spot for cycling especially if you like hills. Is there a local club you can ride out with? Is there a good affordable gym near you? I use mine three times a week. It's big, bright, busy and lifts my spirits when I walk through the doors. I now know lots of people there and have met a few new cycling buddies. Nice to sit in the Sauna or jaccuzi having a chat whilst watching the snow coming down through the big windows.

I was a member of a cycling club,but i fell out with one or two due to one of them knocking me off my bike which has kind of led to this downward spiral. I'm thick skinned,so come the time i'll just turn up one Wednesday when they have the "lesser ability" ride and ride with them again. If the ones who took the side of him who knocked me off are there and are a bit funny about it,so be it. It won't stop me as there'll be more on my side than against me. As for the gym,yes there are 2, about 2 minutes walk from me. I have thought about joining one of them. Maybe i will,though the private one lets women use its facilities for £10 a month while men have to pay £20 a month. I'm a bit of believer in fair play and maybe my principles say "that just isn't right",so i avoid joining it.

Didn’t you actually close pass him (an elderly gentleman) and knock him off too?
How did you get on at the pool btw

No,he came up on my left,overtaking, then wobbled and fell onto me,using me as an airbag. Then his mate sent me a text saying "YOU HAVE A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER!!!!!" and "GET A LIFE!!!!". Both messages in capitals and with loads of exclamation marks,like i've shown. The bloke who sent those messages is a methodist lay preacher as well. So much for Christian understanding eh! As for the baths, i'm not bothering at the moment. I have "issues" with very obvious operation scars and i keep my cyclists sun tan all year round,so i don't want some tool gawping at me. I had enough the other week with those self-gratification artists taking the piss out my voice. I could buy a wetsuit i know, but that'd look a bit odd in a public swimming baths.
You missed so much! Gendered fee structures, inappropriate punctuation, stair angles, secret hounds, washing machines, turtles....
