Switch on BBC4: "Style on trial: 1940s"

Shame these famous cunts are sitting there talking bollocks about nothing they really no about! Get more clips of real people from the time!

Old people? On tv? Yeuch.

JD - are you at the shop on the morrow? might give the faithful manservant a day orf and stroll up - as it's nowhere near Saville Row would you be awfully decent and let me know the address

what-ho old bean

Not the only thing on trial in the 40s

What is the MP on the right at the back looking at?

More importantly.. Why is the triallist in the back row in the middle wearing a box over his head?

Old people? On tv? Yeuch.

The best is the old dear she knows what is what! But that fucking fairy that is talking shit now who thinks he knows all about everything needs to fuck off to painting shit houses for desperate house wives!

the bloke in the middle looks like he's just had his todger felt by the bloke on his left

Nazis are funny.

back row on the right just came out of the sunbed..

Yeah and the bloke on the left loved every minute of it.

I hope this comment wont lead to more rantings on the G-- front!

I'm thinking a detour might be in order on the way home from work.

Yeah and the bloke on the left loved every minute of it.

I think so as he looks very sheepish with the other hand!

Justin, if your back in the shires give us a shout for tea and cakes if you get the time and the moths have'nt eaten your ankles.remember to find me dayglo lycra.

I kinda hope at some point during the run a nodder or two gets swept up into the pelton; neon tabbard, helmet slipping down the back of the head, metallic grey Ridgeback et al and is too nervous/terrified to move out of the gutter to escape and ends up having a spiffing afternoon with everyone.

btw if anyone is meeting up in town around noonish it'd be topper to come for a swift flagon and meet y'all before it kicks off.

Yeah and the bloke on the left loved every minute of it.

hahaaa.. that's exactly what i was thinking - he looks like a creepy fellow. funny picture, if you forget the circumstances.

superprecise, i would also be down for a pre-tweed run spot of ale at a fine establishment of your choosing!

what ho, chaps and chapettes. just got off the phone with brooks, who will be sponsoring the most enviable bicycle competition. we've got some bloody good prizes going for the competitions. i'm speaking to a few more sponsors today, but it's worth making an effort for the day...

Teddy do we have a route yet ?

fuck it i'm in - this i have to see.....

Don't get me wrong here because I think it's amazing you've managed to get sponsorship and prizes arranged for this and I know its going to be a hoot so I'd be coming anyway, prizes or not. But, are these going to be prizes that anyone who makes an effort can win, not just who has the most money and therefore nicest bike? (I know there are exceptions to that last rule but you know what I mean). Again, I would hate to think I was playing down what lengths you have gone to, just a query that popped into my head.

they're split in different catalogy, best dressed bloke, best dressed girl, best period looking bike, and best facial hair.

I think I'll solely concentrate on the facial hair, mutton chop FTW (pic's not me).

As for the bike thing, I have a leftover bin, an old Brook B17 honey that gonna get changed into a Swallow by Skully, brooks leather honey leftover bar tape, borrowed two wheel with white tyres off my girlfriend's bike, etc. surely it shouldn't be much to change bit of your bike really.

fuck it, I'll probably end up taking my girlfriend bike.

I don't think your human girlfriend will like that.

Personally, I'm remortgaging the house to ensure I have every single bit of perfect kit (bike included) needed, you should take you cycling more seriously!
