There is plenty of chat about cyclist / pedestrian interface. My question is this, where are our on foot friends at their most unobservant / daft?

For me, I seem to have near misses almost every day at Angel.

A duck walks into a cosmetics store and asks for some lipstick. Girl behind the counter replies "sure, I'll put it on your bill."

Things to do with with the Vienna Circle / verification / falsification etc spring to mind as offering entertaining problems for claims made about JC. They are deeply flawed really but good discussion points.

Hmmm, the font of all knowledge - [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus[/ame] isn't exactly conclusive on the subject.

Well technically not 'Jesus' per say as there is no contemporaneous historical records that such a fella every existed - but if he did, fuck him.

What counts as a contemporaneous historical record? I thought there was a number of sources that suggest that there was indeed a bloke called Jesus in roughly the right place at the right time who caused a bit of a fuss and was crucified for his troubles.

has anyone read sex, lies, and handlebar tape yet?

You'd need loads of ants for them to be able to offer much help. Maybe carrying your stuff in long lines across Europe is the kind of thing that would be good. ; )

2! Everyone knows you need at least

One hip hop slave bike
One road fixed
One track bike (for the track)
One road bike
One winter trainer / Audax bike
One touring bike
One single speed mbt
One geared cross crounty mbt
One full sus downhill bike
One BMX
One hardtail jump / free ride mbt
One 29er

As a minimum.

Where's the polo bike and the pub beater? Brompton? Tandem? Chuckle brothers bike as a car side by side number?

This kind of shit makes me so angry. Do the driver to the max. Get well soon mate.

It's not, strictly speaking, slave, but you get where I'm going...

Now I personally wince when people say 'ginormous' but who the fuck cares? Its just snobbery that makes me hate it, like the way I think 'toilet' is a 'naff'* word and 'lavatory' isn't.

• an interesting word, naff. It means 'Not Available For F*cking', comes from that slang/patois (its got a name but I can't remember it) that the gay community used to avoid detection during the days when homosexuality was illegal.
  
  

Patois = slave. Naff, therefore = cool.

patois

"a provincial dialect," 1643, from Fr. [FONT=Georgia]patois[/FONT] "native or local speech," from O.Fr. [FONT=Georgia]patoier[/FONT] "handle clumsily, to paw," from [FONT=Georgia]pate[/FONT] "a paw," from V.L. *[FONT=Georgia]patta,[/FONT] perhaps imitative of the sound made by a paw. The language sense is probably from notion of clumsy manner of speaking. Especially in ref. to Jamaican English from 1934.

@ Richard - a profanisaurus reader perchance?

On a par patronising wise with ' young man ' and 'sunshine'

The dude is on Hornsey Rd. about half way up just before William Hill bookies.

I busted the crotch on a pair recently and baing loathe to throw them out went to a small repaird / tailor shop and he put an awesome patch over the whole crotch area and did some serious strengthening. All for £10. Much cheaper than a new pair of strides.

Nowt wrong with Holloway Cycles. A nice buch of helpful blokes in there. All good for me.

Can anyone here whisper or email me ( jtsilvester[at]hotmail[dot]com ) Winston's phone number please?

Thanks

Joe

Charlie says "Always lock your bike up properly or it is easier for thieveing scum to nick it."

How about we go off topic to discuss favourite public service films?

@h2o: last week the whole peloton (4!) were geared. No serious climbs though so I guess you would be OK fixed.

Airfix, X Large x 1

Who he? Does he have any good tales to tell? ; )
