Come on will, you know i'm nice. occationaly bitchy, but mostly well behaved. And I know how to make coffee.

280 for a small-ish but nice room in a bike friendly house. It's on shacklewell lane, right next to the hub. There is a garden, two cats, and four people (including one well mannered courier).

Let me know if your interested!

Hmmm...Dunnno if Smeer's flat mate is into that sorta thing, but you should ask him.

I know the perfect guy, but he's Seattle based.

I've been...well, busy, but only in a self imposed sort of way. I need to pay for my visa in February, and it's really really expensive so I've been working alot and not going out too much. Yeah, let me know about oxford, I would love to make it up there again soon.

Your right about prick, it wasn't just a one off bad experience. The owner is a douche bag. The girl who's doing my sleeve used to work there and even she, one of the most tolerent ladies ever, finnaly had to tell him to stuff it.

I have work from Tota at happy sailor, it's that "forever Fixed" with a pink heart on my arm. I know it's been photographed loads, but now I can't seem to find it online anywhere. She was amazing, the design is great and she works super fast.

Henry, Smeer's old house mate, is an amazing tattooist but sorta a weird dude. And he loves bikes.

What sorta tattoo are you looking at getting? Style has alot to do with what tattoo artist to go for.

No one wants to donate a substantial amount of real cash to a bunch of crusties with rich parents who want to live out some kind of "hardcore" lifestyle pootling about the streets on a bicycle and failing to get a *real *job.

Um, do I even have to say that I know alot of couriers who actually use this job to help support THEIR parents? Or would that invoke an "all these foriegners coming over here and stealing our jobs" sorta rant?

I actually can't think of a single courier that I know who was well off growing up. I know I do this job because I love my bike and am actually not qualified to do anything else, so when I get knocked off by a lorry I won't be being supported by my dad (un-employed) or my mom (night nurse at a prison, but off sick due to cycling related injury (She snapped the tendon in her thumb when she fell off, jesus, can you belive that? Speaking of feeling bad for encouraging people to cycle)).

Anyways, there are alot of really fantastic charities to give to, the LCEF is one of them.
There is also oxford cycle workshop, technically a business but they don't really make any money and they do sell re-stored bikes really really cheaply and teach people how to fix their own bikes for nearly nothing.

If you don't mind money going to an American org than there are a few places that fix a load of bikes and send them to rural Mexico or Ghana. I think the Mexican one is Bike not Bombs, and the one in Ghana is run by Bike Fix, who I used to volunteer for in Seattle.

I've had things happen to me before with boys I really liked but didn't want to be involved with, it is both touching and hard, good luck with him. He sounds like a keeper, but don't try and make yourself have feelings you don't have.

Polish accents on boys, Finnish ones on girls.

Not super keen on the American accent full stop, and there is quite alot of english accents that arn't really that great (Brighton girls. Yech).

I do like scouse, though everytime I'm up there it takes at least an hour before I stop laughing at everything people say.

Nhatt....and here was me thinking you'd repay the 'lock holder' favour by taking me out for the night...:( what can i say...crushed!

That lock holder does rock my socks. I keep wanting to order a ninja from you, my re-load is going south for the winter and your ninja's look pretty darn lush.
BTW, where on earth do you hide yourself? I haven't seen you in Yonks.

Hey,
I don't have a bank account, so I didn't buy the tickets yet. A mate is going to buy them online tomorrow...if you want out that's ok.

If someone else wants in, that's cool too.

I am so so so excited!

@ slamm, Where the hell did you find that?

My lord, I used to think that kid was such a dream boat....BTW, stay tuned, HOP and I are planning a Valentine's Day Bike Ball..

This just in from House Of Pistard...

HOUSE OF PISTARD DISCLAIMER:
At T.T.A.D. we gave Nhatt a bag of our test printing T-Shirts to use at the Ripping Ryan's Sleeves Off checkpoint. In all the excitement they ended up being given away as prizes. While the theme of the prizes was shitness we're sure no one was expecting something quite so poor. So if you happen to be one of the 'lucky' winners of a teeshirt covered in upside-down, back-to-front and inside out prints then Well Done! But be careful cos we're pretty sure the uncured ink on some of them is still wet.
If only we'd just left them propping up the short leg on our Orgon Accumulator this fiasco would never have happened.
( Some of them may have the Rapha Smasher print on them but that still doesn't prove we had anything to do with it.)

"24th of August 1987"

Oh come on! Someone had to do it!

Cab we pick a date that comes AFTER I gave up the notion that Seseme Street was the best cultural offering?

Hey, as far as I'm concerned the more the merrier.

Chris Crash and Mr Smith? Should one of us grab the tickets so that we can all sit together?

Hey all,

Carmina Burana is on at The Royal Albert Hall on wednesday, and i've always wanted to go but don't fancy doing it by myself.

The choir will be 400 voice strong, tickets are only about 15 for decent seats.

Any interest?

God forbid I should ever step foot in the part of the world again, in any case.

I think you just got out boozed by team totally awesome in London town, come back and try and reclaim your crown.

XXXXXXXX

Jesus christ. I still feel a little rough and I didn't think I drank that much, that is until Mr Attack reminded me that all i'd had was a bagel for breakfast and maybe I should get off the chair and stop yelling awesome for long enough to have some soup....

Thanks so much for coming out.

Next year in the summer? I'll invent some more really stupid events before then, I'm sure.

Hey, I did the one in NYC last year if you want some tips on how they do it.

Ok, totally totally awesome.

AWESOME!!!

God do I need food. And something without an alcohol content.

I can't help you there, it's mainly for work or pain, that I ride.

I've forgotten what riding for fun is about since I sold my BMX

I bought a road bike recently that i'm only allowing myself to ride on the weekends, that's so I can still have some sort of fun on a bike. at least for a while...

Oh my. And I said I would let her kiss me today.

shudders

Speaking of gear ratios, I was on a cyclecross web site and found this dude who's bike is running two chain rings up front and 8 sprockets in the back, but both the chain rings are the same size as are all 8 of the sprockets.

Worlds weirdest single speed?

Yeah, that was my thought on Loz as well. We would scream at each other, but it was alot more pointless and it always involved a hug after.

Jesus, his legs must have been spinning! What sorta gear ratio was he running?

There was a general conjecture that he was Laurence.

I don't really think so, but laurence is a jazz fan.

I didn't realize he was such a cnut. I should watch more telly

Dude, I would love to do that kind of stuff, but I unfortunitly chose a career as a cycle courier, not a police officer. But I'm still young (ish). I can change.
