Hello from Bushby in Leicester

[gregsid]

Welcome. Now living in Birmingham, but grew up in Evington, just down the road.

I grew up in Evington too! MANY happy (and not so happy) memories of living, playing and growing in Evington.

I'm 42 by the way and went to whitehall school (fantastic school).

Hi Greg, welcome I know Bushby well, I used to live just down the road from Thurnby so I know the area very well. I'm now at Coalville and back cycling again after a 24 year break due to a cycling accident. Steve

It's a small world! You must have had a nasty accident to have a break of 24 years. Blimey. Bet you're glad to return to cycling :-)

Welcome - you've got a nice looking bird by the way.

I agree! Harris Hawk. The only bird of prey that hunts as a team for their mutual benefit. Super intelligent too.

Cycle Chat rule *107. Thou shall not fancy another mans bird.

As a Christian, that's a particularly clever quote!

Wow, you would have been the same year as my sister, I think. Where did you go after that?

Did you hear that Mr Bull had been given an MBE (or something similar) in the new Year's Honours list a year or two ago.

Blimey. Small world!

Yes, I heard about Mr Bull (my teacher at Whitehall). He's still teaching! A truly wonderful man. He's also an actor with the Leicester Drama Society.
