Spotted...

someone shouted "do a skid" at me on Fulham road today. made me chuckle.

Some fat arsed chav shouted wanker to my mate today. Then saw another crack head on a orange mountain bike with one of those disgusting orange spoks. made me weep. i love romford.

Someone called out and waved to me today as I was attempting to overtake all the cars turning into Bethnal Green Rd from Shoreditch high street, but alas I was too concentrate-on-traffic-y and too far the other way to see exactly who. (was it Sano?)

An unusual spot on Saturday, a group of about five guys on fixed gears pootling out of the Black Lion pub in Plaistow, of all places. Not a sight seen often round those parts!

Ha, that was me and a few mates. Not all fixed/SS, probably 4 fixed, 1 SS, a couple of hybrids and a Brompton.

We were doing a pub ride, Hackney Downs > Leyton > Plaistow > Limehouse > Wapping > Bethnal Green > Victoria Park > Lower Clapton.

I've notice that I really ought to be calling Greenwich 'Grinidge' if I want to blend in to my new manor. But I feel kind of a fake. These things take time.

Spotted: Absofukinglutely no-one as usual.

welcome to the area! i think 'grenaarj' is the best way to pronounce it.
i never, ever spot anyone this far southeast.

Spotted: Scobles on his new bike, with rack, on Old Street. By the time I had raised my hand to wave I was at the other end of the street 'cos I iz that fast innit blud.

Chap on a shiny red Trek T1 track bike this mawnin, not seen one of those before

[QUOTE=Skully;1330653]What really winds me up is people pronouncing Holborn 'holl - born'. It's Ho-b'n. The announcer on the tube gets it wrong ffs, and now every tit calls it Holl Born. Grrrr.

I was just on my way back from BLB actually picking up a lovely new track stem, was wondering where you were!

I was comming back from the printers. Two copies of my thesis in my bag. Bring on hand in tomorrow morning. One weight off the shoulders. Woot woot.

i think i spotted multigrooves at the argos by old street. riding with what looked like a lass, no idea who. I was buying food from summerfields. Guocomole and pancakes - i must be pregnant

From my experience- West of the Sun in the Sands it's Grenitch, East of the Sun in the Sands its Grinidge.

I've just realised 'OR NEW CROSS' how about that for pronunciation Skully?

That is New Cross Gate to you, buddy.

That is New Cross Gate to you, buddy.

I stand corrected, Marm.

Have you looked at 'Reid Fleming, world's toughest milkman'?

TBH, it seems a little un-fair to refer to it as New Cross (gate).

Whenver I say that I live there, people get a slightly worried expression on their face and ask me how it is.

I live in a super posh area... it doesn't all add up.
