heading north on blackfriar's road somewhere between the junctions with stamford street and upper ground, at around midday yesterday. you were wearing a faded yellow campagnolo cap and looking ruggedly handsome.

why won't you believe me?!

Well if you had just said Blackfriars* Rd* instead of Bridge you could have avoided all this confusion. Maybe we need some kind of Nursery for people new to Spotting?
Yes, that would have been me going to turn left on to Upper Ground. And then left on to Waterloo Bridge and then Lancaster Pl. Across the Strand. Up Wellington st and Bow st, across Long Acre, on to Endell st, left in to Shelton st, right up Mercer st, left on to Earlham st, left on to Shaftesbury Ave, across Cambridge Circus and down Romilly st, right in to Beak st, left (illegally) on to Old Compton st, right on to Wardour st, left on to Broadwick st, right on to Poland st and then stopping to stand by on 'the corner' for half an hour, eating a sandwich and chatting to other couriers.

why did you tell us that?

]stop whining, clunge face

Don't make me eyerape you, you trembling wang.

yay. your last bout of wordy insult mayhem wasn't nearly long enough IMHO

why did you tell us that?

having a breakdown?

and will, at what point does blackfriar's road become blackfriar's bridge? that's borderline surely.

...down Romilly st, right in to Beak st, left (illegally) on to Old Compton st...

Lies!!

The numbers go south to north, Ludgate House is the last building on Blackfriars Road (no.245, I'm not counting Doggett's) then you get the bridge itself... Will that do? ;]

saw this this morning, going past me on new oxford st. didn't disappoint.

I saw the Mather probably about 30 seconds after you then! Looks a lot smaller and compact in reality I think. anyway, noice

Weirdest spot ever, a guy riding a fuji track on the pavement of Mortimer St at about 2 O'clock.. half courier, half transvestite... so fucking weird..

Track bike, waterproof jacket, jeans, stiletto heels and fully made up face. WTF?

Thought I was going mad

why did you tell us that?

Geography lesson.

Lies!!

Well done, you have won my cunning Spotted! prize competition.

Why do a track bike, waterproof jacket and jeans make him appear like a transvestite?

There is no apostrophe in Blackfriars, bridge or road.

I said he was half and half —*he was wearing jeans and waterproof - BUT had a fully made up face AND stiletto heels on

Dear boy, the point of my post was that the fully made up face and stilletto heels made him appear like a courier.

[My comedy genius is wasted on here ;o)]

Clive, in his droll and scholarly way, was implying that the shoes and make-up were what distinguished him as a courier, rather than the waterproofs and so on. Clive has a record of salacious imaginings when it comes to couriers.

What he said^

Some guy in a van just beeped and shouted at me , I wan't even cycling, just walking holding a take away pizza.

You make me sick

Spotted on Moorgate at about 12:40pm
Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh being whizzed along in the state Bentley.
Shouted DAS but they ignored me.

Dan, this is not a courier. If he tells you he is a courier, don't believe him. Any statement by him concerning couriering should be treated with suspicion and is not an infallible utterance.

Someone who did the Tweed Run called Fred still sporting a fine example of a waxed moustache, having his Caterham approved in my place today. On here perhaps? Only found out after you'd left about the Tweed Run so didn't get to say hi.

pfft Queen to cool to skid?

Republicanism FTW

But, I signed and everything

5.30pm on the cut, a chap in skin tight light blue jeans riding a black frame with rizers and deep silver rims. running a front brake only with no foot retention.... oh yeah and the bike was geared! you got the look mate, bravo.

...and is not an infallible utterance

that's another twenty years in purgatory.

saw mike c eating up holloway road.
