Critical Mass - Boxing Day

is anyone else having trouble with this?

"My 18 year old daughter is coming - oiled up"

This is the line I believe you have all crossed.
Well done, keep up the good work.

Fortunately Dancing James, Steve S, HillBilly, Nurse and Cake were all perfect gentlemen.

Very few turned up. Got messed up around Regents Street. We ducked out and rode to John Snow which was shut and then to the Lamb which stayed open until 9 pm and then Dancing James and HillBilly went on the train for tomorrow's ride at East Drinks and the rest of us pedaled home.

Despite the crap mass, a jolly evening and young Miss O enjoyed herself but was a little alarmed by Dancing James' chat of waxing and arse boils.

Nice to meet you chaps. Sorry I couldn't stay for a drink or two. Next time I will!

Glad you got home safely. Good to meet you.

Its next to the royal national theatre.

Didn't the commies make sure it ended up being called just the 'National Theatre'?

I dunno, i still an mah family still call it the Royal nation theatre.

Sorry i didnt come out, i was literally on my doorstep on the way out when i realized i didn't have any lights, safety first and whatnot.

Pfft... I rode from Hornchurch with no lights. No excuse!

Safety First and whatnot,
i shall come to the next one, freewheel and brakeless,
would that please you Mr/Mrs Holliday?

And does this mean you we eagar to meet me?,
why im flattered.

Haha, no I'd prefer if you were safe, I'm just an idiot.

I'm sorry to dash your hopes, I wasn't eager to meet you specifically, just eager to meet as many people as possible. I like meeting new people.

It is entirely possible to hijack it as i found when I led it to the end of my road and then left a couple of hundred young hipsters lost in North London.

You do realise that was me you left lost (except I wasn't lost ;)). And I'm not a hipster. I don't ride fixed / ss runaway
Just to check, you gave us directions towards Highbury Corner, and then said "well, I live here, so...bye!"?

Boxing day was quite boring, not a great mass, but at least I got to ride me new bike... (and fall off at the first damned barrier, ["f***ing toe clips!" if anyone remembers that :p])

Radius. That was me! Sorry about that old chap. Say hello on the next one.

No problem, you gave us good directions and we got on fine from there! I'll see if I see you, but can't remember what yer looked like! (Although I seem to have an impression of a roadie in my head, surely not...)

I'm fat and old. I also feature in Will's poster. The fat old one.

Calling me a "roadie", while flattering, sadly does a disservice to true roadies like hippy and BMMF.

Did Will do a fat and old poster? Must have missed that one.

Perhaps you're more of a streetie?

"Sweetie" is generally the appelation preferred by colleagues. "Streetie" is far too hipster.

It was but one small part of a larger work. I note, however, that he has not done a pony-tailed continental European poster.

Funny that. Wouldn't that be the first kind of poster that anyone could think of?

Mind you, it would have to be a pony-tailed lycra-wearing wannabe roadie mostly geared bike-riding Continental European poster to be a truly attractive proposition.

This is the problem with these continental types. So much is lost in translation.

"Attractive" in English is, according to Google translate, "Attraktive" in German. The English word you were searching for was probably something like "horrendous".[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]

Ah, Clive, you'd never hack it on the Continent. (Paris-Roubaix obviously doesn't count.) You may not be aware of grammatical gender. ;)

Yes, on reflection I think 'frightening' is more like it. 8)

I was going to say 'older', but I figured I'd let you admit it. It's the first stage, you know.
If you come to CM again I'll be riding a BeOne Storm (fairly distinctive, black, gold and white roadie with arrows on top tube and stuff)
