Spotted...

Would have been ironic had you managed to shoot one.

Irony is something that you wouldn't expect to happen.. As shooting fish in a barrel is really easy, it wouldn't be ironic at all if he managed to shoot one..

The fact that he's veggie (and probably wouldn't want to kill it) makes it ironic

Call the police do not try to take it back.

I can't stress this enough.

Fuck getting arrested. If I bought a bike and saw someone cutting my lock off I would dish out a serious beating and try to remove their spleen by kicking it out.

make your mind up

I wouldn't say its easy as fish are so rarely found in barrels. but i see your point, ironic how i got it wrong like i did. like having two spoons or something

I advised the OP to call the cops rather than take it back, the line "I will be there in a flash with my buddies hammer and hacksaw." made me think that was their intention. The reason was that I was concerned they would get beaten up.

Then Rosmal said.
"Yup, very true, i learnt that lesson through a trip to the station in the back of a van."
to which hippy replied,
" What if you can prove ownership with, say, earlier photos or something? You still get arrested?".

My response to this was to show that my point was not that you might get arrested but that the new owner of the bike might give the OP a kicking for trying to recover it.

I hope I've explained it now, quite often the original point does get lost.

Various fixengers this morning down Whitehall, all walking bikes around the Rememberance Day parade thing. They have at least three massive TV screens set up, and Huw Edwards is there. Fun times.

blue colnago fixed outside the bullring in birmingham on sunday arvo
was visiting my sister and niece and nephew
wanted to get a spot in while i was up there

Massive chain FAIL a couple of yards in front of me, some poor roadenger looked like he hit an invisible wall of unmoveability, came a right cropper, SPDs failed and even heard him swear before he hit the deck. Was a decent enough looking bike/chainset, was going up an incline so must have put in just that little bit too much effort.

Err, if the 'roadenger' in question was on a blue bike with white saddle and drops, it was me (Singlespeed btw!). What a f*cking morning. Chain came right off going into the incline getting over Lambeth Bridge; no time to unclip so just pushed meself to the left to avoid any traffic on the right. Chain tension FAIL.

No mate, deffo roadenger, was near Harbour Avenue, near chelsea harbour, just after railway bridge.

Bad luck though, I carry a spare chain link (but no chain tool), duh.

Fortunately my chain was fine...got a bit greasy getting it back on though. Quite glad my first 'spot' was not of my massive fail...

Just read last weeks post about the rude courier girl...

Any clue who she is? I thought I knew everyone (especially the girls) on the road, at least to the point where a description triggered something.

Ok, she was super super rude, but surely your reaction is a bit much. Piss in her face? Come on, no matter what her sexual preference is she's a girl, and there is somethings you really shouldn't say about/to women.

Maybe i'm just too small town of a girl, though.

No I think face pissing is fairly standard 'round here.

It compliments the fisting nicely. . .

ah. this is another thing, like posting in the right place, that I simply don't understand about internet forums, isn't it?

just sounds like courier humour..

I'm sure you can get a book about it in Evans, being called pretentious is pretty cool, though, no?

better than being arrested

It's all about the face pissing here in the big city...

"I like Turtles!"

Spotted, somewhere in London.

ha ha that's my bike!!

what programme is that? must be quite old, as it looks a bit different now!

was that from that hustle program where these two prannys got conned by some bird.

she gave them money to change into euros, they gave her car keys as insurance, the money was paper and when they came out she'd bunked off with the motor innit

cheers RPM.

Funny - bike lives in Brighton, as do I, so the chances of it getting filmed in London are quite slim.
