well we seem to have a fault on the lines, folks, so here's Creedence Clearwater Revival with their epic version of Heard It Through The Grapevine:
"*Oo, bet youre wondring how I knew bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before?
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say, when I found out yesterday. oo,I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and Im just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.You know that a man aint supposed to cry, but these tears I cant hold inside.
Losin you would end my life you see, cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.
Instead,I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and Im just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.People say you hear from what you see, na na not from what you hear.
I cant help bein confused; if its true, wont you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before? oo,I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and Im just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah."* -

The best .............. I am touched that you have dedicated this classic song to me RPM.
And in response here is one for you
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to go because I'd go berserk?WELL,
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone completely
out of my mind,AND
[chorus 1]
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where Life is Beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those Nice Young Men
In their Clean White Coats
And they're coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAAAYou thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,RIGHT?
You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
And now you see I'm Utterly MadAND
[chorus 2]
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the Happy Home with Trees and Flowers
And Chirping Birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to Take me Away,
HAHAAAAAAAAAI cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds -

jonaent (Jon) [quote]I had an argument with Tynan, and it just really put me off the forum.... People really shouldn't bother arguing on here, it's sad.
Arguing with tynan (small 't' - capital 'T' is my son) is one of the only reasons I frequent this place. Life's boring without other opinionated wankers like me to shoot the shit with. But apparently he's busy riding his bike these days instead of posting - understandable with what's round the corner... ;)

His bike is something special, too. If you like insane colours on a track specific bike used on the road by a non-courier with an unnecessary carbon front wheel, plus specifically powder-coated parts and drops without hoods :)
the only thing missing is that he rides with a front brake, otherwise his bike single-handedly gets on the contentious side of pretty much every argument generated by this forum - now that is an achievement.
Also, bmmf, how do you know jon didn't in fact have an argument with your son? :P

scott not scot aah.....marvin....RIP
it was the creedence version man, you have to give it a bit of..er..creedence! it's really rather fine.
anyway, you're listening to LONDON fgssFM, this is RPM in the evening slot before I hand the chair over to The Big Guy, the fat man from a land down under, the hippiest hippy in the west..
Ok, we're still taking calls on this evening's hot topic, "rear brakes on singlespeeds".
what are your views? do you approve or disapprove?
are you a rear end person all the way, or does a rear brake make you ache?
give us a call and tell us your stories about rear brakes, were you brought up by a campag mirage? did you marry a dual pivot only to find out he was really a caliper?
don't touch that dial!

Me and my friend ........well partner really, we are both commited single speeders ( been an item for 5 years now ) and we wondered whether it is possible for us to get some advice on adopting a BMX. I am certain we could show it the love and respect it would get with a straight couple and give it a happy caring environment in which to develop its own choices in years to come

I once caught my father yelling down the phone at someone... he kept saying the word "shimano". To this day he won't tell me who it was... at the time he was dating a circus bike.

• #124
yeah, come on fella, this is a family show. nobody wants to hear that kind of language.
so, rear brakes eh?
essential for stopping on a ha'penny? or a load of rubbish?
they say "one in the rear and you'll have no fear" but what do you really think, still got time for one or two more callers
before the "human gorilla" takes over
