Is this the end of the world as we know it?

Yesterday's edition of London Lite (or it could have been the other one) was promoting a cheapo fixed gear bike in its "gadgets" section. I guess that means we're mainstream now.

"trying not to pedal will explode your kneecaps"
not the most convincing selling point.

odd that innit! You'd think a freewheel or deraillier would qualify as more gadgety
how cheapo was it (he says whilst looking deep into his wallet) ?

Hmmm, just like clothes trends come and go. I think the idea of fixed wheel as fashionable is dying down now, and people are picking up on it becase it's better for them rather than cooler. Although it is cool.

What, you mean skidding? My kneecaps are fine thanks Mr Journalist.

Damn straight.

London lite et al, brain rape of the highest order, get a book or something.

not too many journos (feral beasts), just not enough good journos. Aside from a few broadsheets, most papers are heat magazine in disguise.

it does really piss me off when im on the tube and everybody is reading one of thoes fucking free papers,for one they are a complete piece of shit and featutres no actual news just storys about paris hilton and her pefetic existance she calls a life
and 2 i bet half the idiots that acctualy take them never recycle them

Speaking to the tublines PR woman, all the papers left on the tube get recycled and all the profits go to a staff fund. Last year they made £40,000

woooow thats good,but the people that dont leave them on the tube

kipsy odd that innit! You'd think a freewheel or deraillier would qualify as more gadgety

I went on the tube once..

you know, the motherfuckers on there all had these free papers..I noticed that one of these rags had a story about a theatre show with a photo of a lady, baring her breasts.

damned if I could find that picture in the papers near my seat.

not fucking fair, that.

I read the freebies if I'm on the Tube without my own book.. ie. going out of an evenin'.
They're great - they educate you about the pap that the common folk are absorbing and therefore prepare you against said ratties. Know thy enemy :)
At least London Lite, etc. readers aren't fscking driving to work!!

London Shite and thetolietpaper as known in the newsroom.

Why are all those charge bikes named after plumbing equipment? Is it because it's cool, or because they are built by plumbers?
