I'd accuse you of being an anorak but I realise I'm probably exactly the same about railways...

Anoraks of the world unite!

Well, of CycleChat anyway...

That may not work, from experience a lot of us are introverts...

Unless we find a way for us all to unite in separate places with minimal social interaction.

On here is quite fine by me.

I find it easier to interact with other people if we're all doing something that we enjoy (motor racing, cat shows), as I'm quite shy and not terribly confident. Common interests do help things along but I really don't enjoy large social gatherings where there are loads of people I don't know.

Didn't tha know?

I believe that’s owned by the water board and it used to be rented. Don’t know if anyone is living there now.

I could be wrong and reserve the right to be corrected.

Is International Bow Day.

International Bow Day recognizes the accessory that has been changing fashion for centuries – bows! Adding accessories makes just about any look so much better. During the 18th century, men primarily wore bows.

My signature line on a motorsport forum I occasionally frequent is "I don't have a life, just an anorak"

Which was "wrong"? Blackadder or the Prince Regent, wearing a bow.

In my case, the anorak = a bright blue Sparco Monza jacket.

Remember them?
