Too late Davy - they were in last Sunday's News of the Sc World!

Is it true that you're now a ladyboy, as Ape says, Davy?

Have you got a WSD saddle now?

Didnt see you as a News of the World reader....

*giggles* No, am too short to be one!

You saying my ass has got too fat after eating like a pig for a month?

 

[TimO]

definitely. And it's good to hear from you.

The reason for the alarm on my face the other day was that barely two hours earlier I'd seen a cyclist go over on black ice on the very bit of tarmac you were speeding over. I was a couple of hundred yards behind, and, seeing him fall, steered right. Happily he was young and well-padded, and seemed quite cheery about it, but it was a spectacular off.

Yikes, my entire route from Croydon to Liverpool Street seemed entirely ice free, aside from the initial snow I cycled on outside my house for a few hundred feet. It never occurred to me that there may be ice around there.

I didn't even realise it was you until you almost passed me, I don't think I've seen you without your yellow top. Wearing blue confused me (not hard admittedly!)

When I caught up with the WARTYers later on, they had already had at least three offs, none too serious, and luckily no more after I joined them. Auntie Helen apparently also did a quite spectacular 180° spin on the ice!

I've always gone to the railways station... Southern used to let you book cycle spaces. But when you turned up for the train.......

How quaint! I might give it a try, just to see what it was like in the Olden Days.

Oh, Mr. Godby - I'll thank you to keep that kind of expression to yourself!

Oops - sorry. I sent a PM before reading this, and have since sent an email too.

It's true, I tell you! The wheels and I are booked on, and cheaply enough to cushion the disappointment should you get all Health & Safety on us. Will you count me in please, Simon, if the piss-artists-from-the-sticks quota has not already been filled?

Was hoping to bring along everybody's favourite German, but she's got two excuses this time. One about the cold (pah!) and one about probably moving house that weekend (oh alright - fair enough). It's "an SE postcode with that SW feel" apparently. Either that or estate agents are full of shoot. Perish the thought.

 

[Dan B]

Me provisionerally, please. If I can still remember how to ride a bike
