Ladies, there's hope yet...

Well the problem is, he's not my boyfriend, because I don't want him to be.

Well the problem is, he's not my boyfriend, because I don't want him to be. After this story, I'm starting to think there's something seriously wrong with me.

you can't just flick a switch and change your feelings..

a sad truth, he's going to have to HTFU

or, as I heard on a film last night, CTFU !

If you don't feel it, you don't feel it.

...what type of saddle is on your new bike?

Broken Heart Foundation

If youre still thinking of a charity...have a look at http://www.excellentdevelopment.com/ - I spent a few weeks in Kenya making films for them - theyre really good and working from the ground up...

how about a bike related charity? London courier emergency fund?

Cg5154, thats a really lovely story. I wouldnt mind being on either side of that scenario actually, although I can bareley afford a bike for myself!

Its pretty sweet of you to condsider a charity too, I may have a suggestion.

No one wants to donate a substantial amount of real cash to a bunch of crusties with rich parents who want to live out some kind of "hardcore" lifestyle pootling about the streets on a bicycle and failing to get a *real *job.

May I suggest, CHILDHOPE - UK

A lesser appreciated charity who work mainly with street children vulnerable to violence & prostitution. They do work in many places, but they do a lot in South Asia (Bangladesh etc) in parts where these problems are completely ignored.

My LFGSS-ometer is out of kilter today, it must be the weather. But what does this mean?

I don't think Skeletonboy is in favour of donating to the curryer Emergncy Fund.

D'ya reckon?

His heart was broken by a courier.

it means he's never been a courier, or ever seen any

I like this guy. Marry him.

Good story, you're a lucky girl.

Who? Skeletonboy?

nice story, not sure what real charities you could donate to,
but GOSH - great ormond street hospital is always a good one

I like this guy. Marry him.

Good story, you're a lucky girl.

I've done this a time or two for potential suitors. though they've rarely showed much appreciation for the amount of time and work that goes into building up a bike. i'm glad to see there are still birds out there that appreciate small things.

The guy sounds like a keeper. Bet you wished you'd also emailed that those Campagnolo Pista cranks looked oh so beautiful, but too bad they're too expensive. And that Rapha stuff, what a pity.
