Wow, it's been a while since I've seen this thread.
An update on me - turns out I've got a condition called ankylosing spondilitis - it's a hereditary auto-immune disease that causes inflammation of the spine, particularly in the lower back and pelvis. It flares up from time to time and I can't ride when it's bad (the most recent one has lasted about 4 months so far, which is killing me). It's a pretty rare condition but a blood test would show it up.
Unfortunately they don't seem to understand much about it and there's currently no cure; for some it just goes away after a while. I've found regular stretching/core strengthening to be the best way to deal with it. I massively recommend finding a decent, intense pilates class and going to it. Seeing an osteopath from time-to-time does wonders, also swimming is meant to be good too but I have trouble fitting it in.
TS - I've been on Diclofenac for about 2 years now, although I also take Lansoprazole which gives some gastric protection. I tried Naproxin but didn't find it as effective. Never had any trouble with swollen joints from it though. I'm currently trying to get off it and onto another course of treatment, but the docs don't seem terrified that I'ves been that long on NSAIDs. Let us know how you get on.
If anyone else has any experience with AS it'd be great to hear from you...

Love that lazy look over his shoulder on the final straight only to find the guy right next to him.

Fresh meat: Poor fellow in my office has had a Create (the cream version with black rims) for two weeks. After leaving to ride home last night he returned five minutes with a left crank that turns independently of the right. Silly me always assumed that bb axles were made out of one solid piece of metal, we've not taken it out yet but this one feels like it's two pieces with some chewing gum in-between.
Suffice to say in the last 24 hrs I've had a chance to see one up close all I can say is AVOID CREATE BIKES LIKE THE PLAGUE. I wonder that no-one has been seriously injured on one of these yet.

and thats the start of a stewart lee stand up set.
Nope. Stuart Lee uses this as an example in a routine about famous stand ups plagiarising from less famous ones. I think it was Jim Davidson stealing it from Michael Redmond.
Raining!
