He was there last year. He is very good.

Mr B was one of the highlights of last year's end-of-ride party - here's hoping he's booked this year

[Doh! - caught out by the new page]

he was last year

Breeks acquired. Jacket more of an issue due to gorilla-arms.

Perhaps this year, they should get the competition in:

Elemental isn't on the same level..

Methinks you've been at the gin to early. The good professor is a far superior linguist. Though I'd love to see them battle.

No banjolele no talk..

Elemental isn't on the same level..

Yes, I agree, Professor Elemental is on a far better one. Mr. B is Good, but a) all his songs are covers, very clever reworkings, but I've yet to hear him do anything original, and more importantly b) he never does any freestyle. Hence why he refuses to do a battle, he knows the Professor will own him.

But anyway, each to their own of course. Not really the place for this discussion. Didn't take long for the thread to derail...

Better start working on my ride, anyone any good at servicing a Sturnley-Archer 3 Speed?

soz Ben, cant do your hub,
anyone on the hunt for tweed,
give Richard a bell, got a couple or three suits in at the moment at least

Alas! The weekend of the ride I am away with the boyfriend & the in-laws. Perhaps I could sneak off? No, I'm pretty sure that would be mean.

Ah well, I hope to see lots of wonderful photos. Grow a tache for me!

I just prefer Mr.b's music & style. I couldn't care less about freestyle rapping and who would win in a 'battle'.

He's also an actual chap. Tache, tweed jacket, pipe & all. Elemental (entertaining as he is) is more of a normal guy who plays a character.

Elemental has a back catalogue though, whereas Mr. B has just had a damn lucky break...
Very much a fan of Elementals older stuff, being a rap kid at heart (shameful I know)

On the subject of Penny farthings, anyone know where I can get a cheap unicycle hub for a (planned) micro penny farthing?

Mr. B's glasses look strangely similar to MC Frontalot's. I will believe they are one and the same unless someone can provide a sepia photograph of the two of them together.

Shocking....

Seems like we're not the only ones arguing over them:

If I remember correctly Mr.b was in the band that did that 'eat my goal' song..

Yes he was

I don't even have bike yet, but going to sign up. This stuff is going to change my life, I can feel it.

Ha, nice one. Hope it does.

Right, Friday the 8th is booked off work to begin the journey from West Yorkshire... fingers crossed come registration this Saturday.

Did I hear someone say West Yorkshire?

Sounds like there's going to be quite an exodus of Northern Monkeys on Friday!

Oh dear, it had been such a civilised affair.

Yes indeed good sir, I've decided to make a weekend of it!

chortle Trouble ye not: flat cap- yes, whippet- no (not on this occasion).

Luci - Bringing meat products?

Should we do a barbecue for the Sunday - possibly bring a brisket and smoke it over Saturday night?
