Still cute though.

Also I love the lazy tag line-

Ripped jeans

To be fair to the bear, that looks like a marrow to me, you'd have a little more bear cred if you went back to you mates with a black eye from marrow as apposed to a courgette

As one of the stars of sitcom Friends, you'd think Matt LeBlanc was an affable sort of fella who was able to take a joke. Not so...

So, of course, we asked: "You all right, Joey? How YOU do-in?" But Matt raged back: "I'm not Joey. Don't you dare call me Joey. The papers say I'm finished, so don't call me f***ing Joey. I want to leave that all behind. I'm moving on."

Norman Baker told a meeting this morning that Bikeability is safe but he wouldn't say same for Cycling England

                                            Transport minister  Norman Baker has pledged that  Bikeability, the cycle training scheme  delivered by Cycling England, CTC and other bodies, would not be thrown  in the flames in the forthcoming '[bonfire of the quangos'.](http://www.bikebiz.com/news/32912/Cycling-England-among-public-bodies-to-be-abolished-says-Telegraph)

He made the pledge before an audience of bike trade figures and train executives at the official opening of CyclePoint in Leeds. This is a bike parking unit at the front of Leeds station. It has space for 300 bikes, stored for £1 a day.

The Leeds CyclePoint is operated by Evans Cycles via £500,000 funding from the Department of Transport working with Network Rail and Abellio of the Netherlands, co-owner of Northern Rail.

The official opening was carried out by Baker; Anton Volk, CEO of Abellio; and
Pim Waldeck, the Dutch ambassador in the UK.
