some guy in kings heath/moseley - black bike, pink deep vs. saw him as i finished my maiden voyage on my road bike, approximately 8 minutes before a fucking bee stung my lip and approximately 18 minutes before my lip was the size of my thumb.

i know the guy with the pink deep v's. he lives round the corner from me.

Isn't it a small world. What are you up to these days?

Haha quality.
how longs it been, in the last 4 years - well i left coffee republic (of my own will, i wasn't sacked - adam was asked to leave after an incident with the police - i beleive) -
i stopped smoking buds ! - got a degree - human biology,
now working as reseach scientist at b'ham uni med school

what about yourself? last time i saw you was at the malt house and you had just got a tattoo of a hammer. Maybe i imagined this.

Thats true! you had a puncture i think. I've been working for the council, now at bham uni doing a MA in Literature. Good descision on the smoking! what do you research?

Mostly immunology based stuff, complement system, and a lot of blood cancer research - to do with antibodies etc, quite interesting - but hoping to find a paid phd that im interested in to start next year !

will look out for your bike around and about and come and harass you :)

barber - do you have any contact with the CLARHC team at the Uni.....?

Not that I'm aware of, haven't heard of CLARHC
i work with mostly phd students doing clinical trial studies etc, they use a lot of the data that we get, and we purify stuff for them to use with patients.

what is it?

Man riding fixed with drop handlebars, wearing a helmet in Sutton this afternoon

I dread to think how long this thread would be if this was London.

a man on a black fixie on old street at 8am
a woman on a fixie at 8:07
another man on a fixe with a messenger bag, 8:19
a blonde girl on a green fixie went past my workplace at 8:45 but i wasn't looking at her bottom, honest
then i saw a chap in a chequered shirt on a grey fixie at about 9:10, riding up maryle....

yawn

10 pages worth of posting later...

it's now half past 7pm and i just saw another person on a fixie. i think that's the 1,074th person i saw riding fixed today. he was wearing a bobble hat and a leather shoulder bag. he looked so cool. i think i'm in love

haha

Birmingham Uni have a few research projects on the go underneath this scheme - looking at Cardiovascular Disease, Immunology etc. My girlfriend works within one of the "Chapters" as they call it. I've met quite a few of her colleagues, and thought that we may have crossed paths....

Was eating hangover-cure in Leslies Cafe in Selly park,
guy chained his stock fuji track up outside and came in to also eat some food, probably bacon and other fried stuff. Quite sure he had a cup of Tea as well.

awesome

more details like that should be posted

Saw the same fuji track being walked up to selly park - must have had a good saturday night, probably had some beer, a few shots maybe even a kebab....

Also plug racer with risers, balsal heath way and standard plug locked up outside Aldi in Selly Oak, probably bought some food, perhaps a bratwurst or even some sauerkraut....

spotted, lycra-clad knob-end streaming me into town, If you want to go faster, overtake.

^ i hope you weren't wearing mudguards, and found lots of puddles to go through...

rider of black frame with bullhorns, white handlebar grip tape and red chain, parked in the matrons garden, are you on here? we work in the same building...

Saw someone on a classic raleigh track frame wearing a pink bobble hat in the bullring this morning, think it may have been Gav.

I thought he sold it, everyone was all over that when he advertised it.
