Carrying a heavy burden...

unicycle 12 miles on my back. It hurt a lot.

Go any significant distance on your back and it's going to hurt... Unless you're on a luge, or in a bunk bed on a ferry!

Derail I know, but "standing on the shoulder of giants"... Surely it should be "shoulders of giants", or "shoulder of a giant"? Am I missing something?

south london to north london with a 30 metre extension reel strapped to my bag and this folded gazebo under my arm.

Unfolded and we'd be talking seriously impressive!

I posted that to illustrate a previous wrong usage of 'shoulder'. It became famous mainly through Oasis obstinately insisting that the singular had been deliberate when there was a very strong whiff of suspicion that it hadn't been. (You must know that the originator of the phrase was Isaac Newton.)

I am wondering why you did this, some kind of event?

I once carried Atlas on my back.

Oh I see, I was just looking at the pictures.

Bet this one isn't on it:

Was he a session musician, or does he have his own band? Is it dub step?

Wrong thread. Here is the correct wrong thread for discussing music at the moment

Meh. Shrugs.

That was a A-Z, not an atlas.

My girlfriend at the time was having a garden party. I schlepped all this stuff to her house only for her to break up with me half way through the day! that was shitty.

Maybe it was referring to "standing on the (hard) shoulder of giant(')s (causeway cos our shitty car broke down)"

she sounds like a bitch

thanks to an archies grobag i hauled a worm/compost bin the size of a regular wheelie bin from near city airport back to bethnal green. that was hard and not much fun but the bag was awesome.

After cycling 2 miles with a 12kg bag of dog food on my back, I recently tried to repeat the feat by carry a load of prizes: 7 D-locks, 7 sets of lights and (the straw that broke the camel's back) 7 TfL maps.

This second haulage exhausted my pitiful core strength and I now have a groin strain.

That'll teach me.

Well, he wasn't lightspeed champion (that was Albert Einstein), but he had a certain gravitas.

You seem to have hang-ups about derailing threads. :)

Check out this Hampstead gardener who carries all his tools, including a petrol mower...
