Brick Lane Bikes (BLB) Bike Shop

^lol

There's still no excuse for piece-of-shit service. I've been mugged off by nicer car mechanics.

Not my point.

the issue was with the OP's use of "in the market for" and associated conceit about what amounts to a simple, cheap consumable.

of course the service shouldn't reflect the price, but let's stay within the realms of sensibility, You wouldn't expect to have a "conversation" with the guy behind the counter of the petrol station about "maybe being in the market" for a packet of Toffos "in a couple of weeks" Or maybe you would...

actually that sounds like a bit of fun

heh. +1

maybe he wanted to discuss deposits and waiting lists..

I've heard there is a girl working in there who has a fanny AND a willy.

Please. We're still trying to forget!

You don't have to explain it to him mate, that's the funniest post I've seen all week :-)

Double lol.... I'm with you on this RPM
Get over yourself, they can be busy sometimes.
Why are they busy...................

Sorry, screwed up the quote thingy...

"maybe being in the market" for a packet of Toffos "in a couple of weeks"

Ha I'm actually going to try that tomorrow in the local shop...

Nah don't buy it. Good manners cost nothing.

what did you want? A blowjob?

lol..

Never been there myself, even though my bike was built there (I got it second hand). Still I might pop by at some point - I'm in the market for some pedals soon ;)

i personally think the pierced, tattoo covered, girl boy is one of the friendliest most helpful people i have ever met and i would appreciate you leaving he/she/it alone

the conversation should have gone
please can i get a 19 tooth cog

here you go sir
pay money leave shop

how did you manage to fuck that one up ????

did you ask for special fixie cog made from unobtanium or what

did you do any research before hand did you know what type of cogs you were looking for ?

hippy?

Actually.. not a bad spot. That cunt's skin is far too good though and tie-wearing is for wankers. :)

LOL

There's a lot of LOLing going on today.

it's in the air
just spent the last 10 mins laughing at work colleagues ( sorry that should have read with )

This thread reminds me of a conversation I had whilst fucked the other weekend: Asking completely the wrong question when buying stuff:

"Will this book work abroad?"
"Is this washing machine free range?"
"Are these trousers HD ready?"
"Can I offset this 19t sprocket against tax?"

I think the OP should've lied a bit to make the story better for retelling it on The Internet. I would've said that he burped in my face, farted then waved me out of the shop with two fingers up, then coughed the word 'cunt' as I walked out the door.

I've heard there is a girl working in there who has a fanny AND a willy.

Maybe she queefed in the OP's face... That alone would merit a thread... Alas, I doubt she did...

I went into BLB once. They were most helpful.

I didn't feel the need to tell the world you lot about it until now.

am i the only one here who likes this shop? because as shops go, it's alright

I like it. Went and stocked up on some stuff yesterday for my replacement build after mine was stolen, the girl who served me wasn't chatty but totally efficient/pleasant, a few other guys were really helpful last week when I was putting my 'stolen' poster up (Bobby and guy with a cool goatee). I've also met some of the others over the last few years via mutual friends, all seem like good people.

"Cool goatee" - is that an oxymoron?
