Tattooed guy overtaking me on Victoria Embankment this morning - can I have your shiny red bike please? It's more my size than yours! Very pretty frame indeed.

Happy birthday CBW - we miss you x

I refuse to do anything bike-related on 27th September, so let's hope the best programme is not on then.

Happy birthday Dan the man!

Divorce at Downham

Oh and I hope your honeymoon was awesome!

Dan, groomzilla Matt has many questions for you tonight......

Fred, go to Nikko, just outside Tokyo, loads of shrines/temples etc, bit in the sticks but its worth the trip (takes two hours on the shinkansen).

Whilst in Tokyo, go to the Kichijoji neighbourhood (we used to live there...) and check out Inokashira Park. It's pretty vibrant. And also check out Koenji, which is nice for low-key indie-style shopping. You can get to both on the Chuo line.

Avoid Roppongi, it's like Liverpool Street bars on a Saturday night.

If you're after uber-fashionable, go to Daikanyama.

I thought The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, was pretty damn good. Also I just read 'Let the Right One In' and really enjoyed it. Much more so than the film, which has also received excellent reviews.

I just read McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I nearly chucked it a few times because of the violence (to animals, the human violence didn't really bother me) but his style is really something.

I'm now reading some advance copy of Aleksandar Hemon's Love and Obstacles, short stories about being an expat Bosnian. Avoid, it's really quite poor.

Your best course of action is to talk to some reputable breeders, who will be able to tell you a lot. Jacqui is right, terriers require a lot of stimulation - my parents have always had Jack Russels, and despite my mum always being at home and them having lots and lots of space for running about, everything (I do mean everything - they chew their beds, all sorts) gets chewed.

There are a few Boston clubs in the UK, but not a great deal of people seem to have them in this country (I have no idea why...). Try these folks:

BOSTON TERRIER CLUB. Sec. Mrs Tanner. Tel No: 01892 652095

BOSTON TERRIER CLUB OF SCOTLAND. Sec. Mrs S Borthwick. Tel No: 01506 884460

NORTHERN BOSTON TERRIER CLUB OF ENGLAND. Sec. Mrs J Metcalfe. Tel No: 01942 511104

Haha, my hair is horrendous Ed, but thanks. I never intended it be quite so ginger!

I have a Sun clincher rim, 28h, 520ISO. £30

Edscoble, who said hello to me last night on the east exit from Old St roundabout. I have no idea whether I introduced myself or not. If I didn't, I'm sorry, I cannot cope with the concentration that cycling requires anymore (today I got the bus...)!

<---- that's my name, hullo!

Fantastico
[will it take long to save up for a life-size wedding cake?]

Maybe a me-size tower of Laduree macaroons BDW... :o !

Yayness all round! I'm sooooo happy. We're getting married next spring/summer. Hope to see some of our lovely pals on Saturday, banana beers indeed Fred (I'm gonna try all of them...again...). Also well done to Mouse and Nemone on the little one!

This is funny. YEAR FAIL people.

Some chap on a Giant with a carbon wheel outside BLB (not wolf) whistling at me this morning 8.45 as I rode past checking out the police who'd all piled out of their van there. Is that being friendly?

The second 'wheel' is not a wheel, it's just a rim. £35, plus postage if you can't pick it up.

Chap trackstanding on Victoria Embankment westbound at junction with Horse Guards Ave this morning pre-9am. I did a lot of staring because I was trying to see if you were the guy who I usually see trackstanding there on a geared bike, which is quite an impressive feat IMO. But obviously you weren't him, so I was much less impressed. Ha!

Go to King Kog in Brooklyn. They used to have a bunch.

Is it the clap?

Words will be had Tom.

....my chain is so slack that I often think there's someone drafting me, it makes that much noise. Dog/chase/tail FAIL.

Butterworth Insurance. CTC have theirs through them...think LCC do too, have only heard good things about them. (for the record I have no insurance so it's no personal recommendation...)

Dude on a lo-pro with orange rear wheel, Horse Guards Ave, pre-9am today. I nodded, that's all I'm capable of.

..having a lovely second bike so perfect for summer riding in the shed that I can't ride because nowhere stocks the stem I want and even if they did, I have no money anyway, and I also don't have a saddle because I basically find everything uncomfortable and I would just like to ride in my duvet please and thank you.

For sale:

• 1 x 24" complete wheel, including tyre (and probably a tube). Very skinny Sun rim BMX racing rim built onto low flange Specialized 28h hub. Radial. Takes 25c tyres, ISO 520 - you can get these tyres and tubes from Condor or online - I believe it takes the same as one of those Airnimal things. SOLD TO JIMBILLY
  
• 1 x 24" rim, same specs as above. £offers - SOLD
  The front will be useful for a really low lo-pro, or maybe someone wants them as a pair for a tiny and/or kids' bike. I had these on a 47cm kids frame, they were ridden for a few months.
  
  
  

Also ITM Eclypse quill stem, good condition. Haven't measured it but it looks pretty long - I'd say 120-140mm. Great for the track - was on my bike when I bought it, when the whole thing had apparently been used for 'nothing but the track'. But being a dinky person I personally found it too long for the street. Clamp size I think is 25.8mm, 76 deg angle. Fits 1" threaded steerer. £20 ono - STILL FOR SALE
