i was not on strike if any thing i was hard at it sorting out trikes and bikes.
did the hr occupational health thing again, she says under the disability act, they need to make reasonable adjustments, light office work ect.
she says i have been very fortunate that they did not do a hip replacement as at the level of osteoporosis i have the out come would at best not been good at worst a disaster, i now have to see if i join up by December, if i do not and need a new hip i might have a two year run--(ha ha)-- up to it for my bone density to reach acceptable levels.

i am now going to oil my chain again and see if i can get my gears 100% spot on, i keep getting the odd skip on one of the high gears so i might have a worn ring, i cant see any thing but have a new set on the way, when i get is i with compare them and see. if not i will replace the quick link with one of them pins that you snap, it is a new chain only done about 2.5k miles, i have replased the cable, it was starting to go inside the changer, something i have not seen on a trigger shifter before, the twist grip was eating the end of cables at one every three to six months.

Yo Cosmo,
light duties, mmmm.... that sounds just the ticket.

Mind they don't replase you.

Did you catch up with the lost property at York ?

A small brain in a jar was handed in.
When linked up to a radio,
it kept saying, "strudel" and "short leg".

not mine, i can still hear the voices and have no problem asking for a cup of tea!
as you all know i dont like to mention it but i have a bit of a infirmity, so was trundling around medow hall, not as fast as on the wheel chair.

i have just been going through my logs my first day of the trip was over 70 miles, over 6500ft of climbing, at a average of just over 10 mph, with a full load of camping/cooking gear and as you know i don't like to harp on but i have a slight infirmity!

Yo Cosmo,
diagnosed !

I notice that in Bladstock's " Travel by Velocipede
and Tramp Steamer to Upper Eygpt and Yorkshire",
that he found several instances of natives hearing the voices.

This he ascribed to " Insanitie and shortening of one legge".

His cure was the application of leeches and dog bites to the affected area.
Search treatment immediately.

Think of the ladies sir, the orphans and the horses, sir.
Spare yourself further distress.

Note, that your local animal supplier might have a solution;

Yo Cosmo,
wise wordz mate.

I note however in Bladstock's
" I married Three Hottentots" ,
that he accounts voices as being "the result of excessive speed.
Eyes watered, hair loss by air friction has been found in Yorkeshire
and a loosening of moral fibre being also associated
with travel in public places above 11mph.".

I would advise that the use of leeches to the legs

whilst trikanaughting would ammeliorate these effects
and might indeed ,with daily purging bring your
RECOVERY to a swift conclusion.

It would also draw attention to your incapacity
and allow young ladies to turn away
from your bronzed leeched magnificance.

yes my sun-bronzed Greek god like body can be viewed powering along all gleaming muscles, flashing smile, with a astonishingly massive lack of leaches.
i got my new cosset today and as far as i can work out there is absolutely no wear on the old one after wearing out two chains! so i have been library applying oil to the chain and things have calmed down some, i will have to keep a eye on it.

with the sun coming out the morons have been out to day Australopithecus man is a live and well living in doncaster, lots of d**K h***s showting from cars, i would love to move to Holland or preferably a nice part of Germany. is there a opening for a professional velomobile reviewer?

i have booked for the august rally, i am looking riding down in three days and back the same, so will have to get in to training and do some hard rides to build my self up or ride with one of the brakes on, i think some one told me he did that a lot but cant remember how?
i still have not heard any thing about trading my high racer in against a fast trike, i had some phone conversations and emails but every thing has gone silent.

Yo Cosmo,
we have the very cure all. This is from Bladstock's
last work " Sleeping with Lions".
In which he details treatment to his remaining leg;

"Wrap yourself in Aluminum foil
and lay down in a dark room. By means of rope,
hang bricks from your feet and ensure
your cosset is adjusted,
so that you may breathe only with difficulty.
Should you still hear the voices,
apply hot oil to the knees."

There sir,seek no futher assistance.

I have a dead frog and an old toothbrush
that I would happilie trade for your bicycle.

what kind of frog? if it is the variegated long eared cartwheeling frog and if it is still........ juicy, i would have to give it a lick to test this though.

Yo Cosmo,
too late ,
have accepted a better offer on the frog.

However, I can offer you TOBY, the educated cockroach.
Able to count to ten, tells the time ( 'till 10 o'clock).

Able to identify and react by feigning death ,
various household ephemera; bugspray, sole of boot, flyswatter.
I am teaching him to spell, his results are
somewhat better than your attempts;
accept defeat.

Think of the ladies and the poor orphans,
consider your action.

Beist washes fruom TOBY.
