Why would you want to be aerodynamic on a roller? You're not moving through the air.

Are the cogs turning yet mashton?[/quote]

Uhh, they do when I turn the pedals. Mostly. Mostly.

Roller race itself was exciting. Respect to anyone who got up there.
Both my girl and my mate's girl were alas underwhelmed (just not their cup of tea)

You might have seen my other half reading a book after 2300!

Nice vibe. The MC could have done with shutting up now and again (from the school of i have a mic-therefore-must talk-) and the dj was very funny when he went jungle (clearly just for himself) for one tune.

You can't win - half the crowd say 'I couldn't hear what you were saying' and the other half think you should shut up -

sigh<

Cheers Arvy, it is a work in progress. Any **constructive **criticism is welcomed. I am not able to program a decent sense of taste into yours (or my ) girl, a shame really!

The mic level was fine at the begining of the evening. It might well have needed tweeking as the venue filled up, but I wasn't out front, so I couldn't tell you. Bill if anyone says they can't hear let me know and I'll deal with it, in return can I say 'shut up'?

I thought you did a fine job Bill, though I did feel a bit sorry for whatsizface.. Escape Artist guy.. um.. Matt Seaton :)

Cas, I thought the mic level was fine - Arvy could obviously hear me!

Matt knew what was coming - fair play to him for showing up. He knew it was good-natured.

shouldn't held jame's wheel in the 2000m race, lucky he didn't biff u ;)

No roller race is complete without at least one wheel hold. It's a tradition!

your call, but should've done to caspar or winston :P

Oh well, excuse me! Didn't realise that I was interfering in something that was such a big deal.

There was me thinking that it was an unscheduled 'race' between two drunk messengers, one of whom was drinking beer during the race...

UCI will be onto ya soon Bill.. lookout!

Oh shit!

Oh piss...
