This being my first (and only) forum it took me a while to realise the etiquette of an introductory post. Given the OP’s sentiment I thought now would be a good time. It also means I can quickly move on to buying/selling, abusing other forum members and asking dumb questions.

I’ve been lurking for a while, read loads of threads and learnt a lot, bought a bike, started replacing bits, posted a time on the East Beers TT track, and even bent a few spokes playing polo. And I met some nice bike folk along the way.

This place is a bit special, in every way.

ah, bugger ... i can't get this image embedded. Can someone with a clue please post this:

flatulant?

and there was me thinking it was an anty warhol connection.

There are railings around the pub, with the bikes locked on the inside of these they seem to be pretty secure. There are seats outside too for lovely warm evenings such as this.

crikey, with this weather the temptation to pack in work early and get down there now is beginning to overwhelm me.

(dreams of drinking beer in sunshine)

it's been like that for a few hours. shiny new bars will just have to wait ...

Sheep, you want a hand with loading/unloading/getting 20 bikes through your house to the garden? Let me know when you're moving them and if you want help.

it wasn't so much that he turned up in his car - more the fact that he still had his trouser leg rolled up as he walked back to it at the end of the night. a true cyclist.

hey rjs, thanks for having us back for beers.

no-one else is saying it ... shall i be the first to mention sainsburys ed's chosen mode of transport last night?

i'll be there, 8 - 8.30.

Hillbilly, your new pic is a bit scarey.

sorry i had to cut out early, who took the pot?

Hey sheep, i'm hoping to make it over in an hour, will bring cash (in terms of my poker skills, think 'taking candy from baby').

i'll add

1 x small cunt

to my previous order.

nice one rjs.

and no worries fellas - it's definitely not the worst pub to be stuck in on your own, and the passing cops and robbers show was as entertaining this week as last.

i got there about 9, no-one around (that i recognised). I asked some bloke outside who was obviously talking bikes; he said he didn't fraternise with fixed gear folk because they all smell. which made me suspect he WAS a forum member, but i left him to it. I made a pint last 40 minutes (a personal record) but no show. bollocks. that'll teach me for trying to encourage last minute deviations from plans ... but it should definitely be weekly from here on in!

me, me! I'm in! Can't believe i didn't see this thread til now.

Rabbit, medium x 1

i work just down the road from ITN. Got the biggest fright as JS came out of the local shop one lunch time with a finger stuck unfeasibly far up his nose; it's quite shocking seeing telly people do everyday shit like picking their nose.

Fellas, many thanks for hospitality (those cupcakes were top class) and introduction to polo today - i came away with only minor bruises and no major bike dents. cheers!

Hey sbb - great that you're doing this. i'll pop in at some point. cheers

crikey, i was well tiddly by the end of the evening. i'm totally shocked i put those numbers up right last night. it was good to meet everyone there. thanks for the insightful dentistry chat. see you again in a couple of weeks.
