Terrible camera phone pics below.

Camber Sands; sunset over same; Aidan's wheel, together with strange phenomenon of finger-shaped sand marks, as a reminder of that fateful train... I can't believe I didn't get one of The Ashford Tank though.

Big big thanks to the lot of you for waiting for hours while I caught up and all the encouragement/ biscuits/ complete lack of patronisingness. This was more than twice as long as I've ever done before, and I'm well proud of my arm for not falling apart. Beers shall repay kindnesses at South Drinks when I get paid.

i shall be there as soon as the library kicks me out.

Edit: I'm going to the BFI to see David Niven and all his angels. Shall be along 9ish.

@tika. I am a girl. Although I will be wearing boys shorts tomorrow...

Pjs, was a general shout out. Thursday or Saturday, programme 4 looks ace - if you get a ticket get two and let us know?

i was also thinking thursday and saturday... anyone want to book tickets together? otherwise i will be sat alone (echo).

is that me personally? cos it'd have to be the halloumi sweats double. and i brought you a little present tonight, made with my own grubby hands.

boo. had a prior engagement with zoolander, achieved zoolander then wandered over for the last hour, only to find an empty pub. what what what?

except for emilia and friend - nice to meet yous.

you me and fluff are probably the only ones here who have any idea what this is all about, you car-wheel thieving benefit scrounger

ha ha I only just saw this. For everyone's edification http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wooly%20back

Personally I thought it was less chilling and more treating the driver like an idiot dog - "down boy. Naughty boy".

Maghull, Orrell, Ormskirk or are you a Skem'ead? ;-)

I'm a skem'ead.

First off - my thoughts have been with the cyclist and all involved since the accident and like others sincerley wish the best outcome and a speedy recovery.

I walked past shortly after the incident briefly stopping to assess the situation - four/five people including occupant/s of lorry seeing to cyclyst and clearly on mobile phones in contact with emergency services. There were a few, maybe less than ten onlookers together with the normal traffic congestion at that time.
Accident occured between 09:30 & 09:35 morning of Friday 12th September 2008 - weather and road conditions good and dry. TNT delivery lorry came to rest across pedestrian crossing, left filter lane to embankment. Cyclist pinned face down, lorry's front left tyre traping person between legs. Mangled bike on road several feet away from rear of lorry, apporx. 10-15 foot (5m) skid mark on road and debries upto about maybe 20 foot or so (7m).

Ow. Damn, I hope she is ok.

And from the bottom of my soppy girly heart, thanks for all the replies to my question. I sort of expected a piss taking and a few HTFUs and instead got a whole lot of reassurance.

I was back on my bike before the docs even let me out of the metal brace, and although the first ride to work was utterly terrifying, am proud to say I've only taken public transport once since.

Corny you were spot on; I revisited the spot where it happened, did a lot of breaking it down in my head and realised that accidents do happen and thinking of myself as a victim was a waste of energy. But I still get pretty shitty flashbacks when a white van roars past me or at a junction, and having lived in London for two years really wasn't expecting to be as shaken up as I was by seeing the accident Friday. It's pretty early days and I guess I'll never go back to the feeling of invulnerability you have before anything really painful happens to you. At the moment I seem to rollercoaster between obsessively analysing every ride I take and tripping out on how important it is to live for the moment.

Anyway, cycling was and is one of my favourite things, I'm stubborn and I'll be damned if a bit of fear is going to take that pleasure away. Plus I got a Steamroller out of it all and next week the gigantic handlebars are coming off!

You're all ace.

Crossroads of Clerkenwell Rd/St John's St at lunchtime, smokin' hot chick girl on a Surley with gold bits.

woo, me again! that is three in a week, do I win anything? and is the crossed out bit a compliment or not?

ouch ouch ouch. but apparently chicks dig scars.
heal up soon paul.

they shut the whole south-north side of the bridge down, big old TNT lorry, lots of mess, ambulances, fire engines, a very shaken up sounding policeman screaming at cyclist passerby that no, she couldn't just nip through the scene.

apparently it was a female cyclist. bad stuff. not intending to hijack my own thread, but anyone have any suggestions on ways to deal with the fear after an accident? haven't been back on my bike long and this was pretty upsetting.

no vinegar, instead…

Hippys Lippy Chippy - "We piss on your chips"

back home it was all about 3 chips swimming in a lovely bowl of gravy. wiganwill knows what i'm talking about.

arse. i said i would go to the theatre.

might try join in later, which is becoming a very bad habit. can a person or two text me their numbers to find out where you all are?

ha! my first spot. not startled so much as shortsighted .

CB that sucks. I have some supersupercodeine left over, if you want let me know. Still, nothing like a week in bed watching the 6 million dollar man...

Having a cosy night in with job applications tonight unfortunately. Forgot to say how much (lots) of fun I had last week though!

exactly like that! shame about the broken elbow, I could swim in that.

Next week.....we're all coming to Ireland.

ace! anyone that comes to ireland has to buy me a big guinness for my birthday.
