South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

Wankers! Nobody told me anything. I still have flu, but at least it was local.

Nobody told you anything? This party was promoted all over the web by LMNH no..?

I am in the Essex Road kebab shop. You couldn't make the clientele up honestly...

Monring lovely friends. Sorry i had to dash. Looks like i missed out on another good night.

HatBeard, you are a lifesaver!!! Thank you for part of your biketape(tm)!!!

seems I missed out on some stuff, I need details. Has HatBeard's hopefully non-structural leccy tape saved another person?

yup!

i broke my back light bracket and CappuccinoMan saved me with his awesome tapebike!

what time does the workshop open sumo?

Don't really know. After 9 or 10 I think.

Couldn't you have used that of that horrible brown tape on your bike?

i tried but cause i taped the headtube with little bits, they just kept tearing. Plus they lost all their jizzy stickiness

ahh I used real jizz on mine hence it retained it's tacky tactileness.

Come for one that leads to four or five ...

^this happened.

great night, really good fun, great to see everyone and to meet some new faces.

Big apologies to all who had to listen to me be a whiny bitch. I am sorry.

I am still not sure what Spybot did to my bike in the bushes in the churchyard.

grumpy ol rich... You did sound seriously whiney when you arrived ;-)
And 2 hours extra every day for the last week isnt really that bad buddy - when i first started working in this country i had to do every day from 7/730 to 8 or 9. I was so shattered most nights i literally go home from an hour on the tube, straight into bed, up at 5:30/6 back on the tube. One friday was particulary memorable when i only left cause the last train was calling... I did this for 6 or 7 months.

^^ It majorly happened to me. Came for one or two as I was feeling iffy, went to bed about 5. Drank a lot of beer. Feel good this morning. Makes no sense. Great night.

I think he 'did a Loic'.

Those kind of hours are not good for cycling though.

I feel awful this morning even though i left at 11:30! you would never guess im a 'wild' student
think i hit the bottle too hard yesterday!

Tsk you youngsters, no stamina. Too much model making, not enough drinking.

i was sniffing glue all day.....

Indeed, I feel totally rubbish, thinking about not doing tarck. I'm clearly not made for riding in circles.

Yeah, I know, I know. Point taken...

Nevertheless that sounds like a terrible way to live. I have no idea how you coped. I would have ditched the career and got a job in a shop or something.

htfu. im getting ready to go!

Well I just got up and I feel BRILLIANT.

Yeah I'm not going to make it in time though. This is why I get annoyed at working late; I can't find the time for eating, sleeping, working and cycling. Something always has to give.

I'll spin over and watch for a bit, maybe.

htfu. im getting ready to go!

All very well if you have a car.

getting there is the first challenge. riding round is the main one

Its not the first time and it certainly wasnt my hardest. That was just me relating how my first job went cause i think you mentioned that last night.
So far, my worst was when i needed to qualify for my visa after not working for 10 months cause i was made redundant during the banking collapse. I needed to make a certain amount of cash per year and i had to hit that in 4 or 5 months.
Boss was nice and let me work about 76 hours per week (almost double the normal working week). 4 hours overtime most week days and full days over weekends.

I had to do it if i wanted to live in your country - both times.

I didn't do very well in remembering anyone's forum names last night, can someone draw lots of big red arrows with names pointing at everyone? Or just captions. Captions are also good.

Stealth visit. Nice to see you guys last night. Ended up back in SE8 drinking in the Amersham with a mate's girlfriend ordering me to stop cycling for various reasons. Was actually quite a good night!
