hmm, i think they might be pulling that leg...surely no one in their right mind??

yep, as soon as i saw that from jayloo, it made total sense for the wee ones...but if it looks like the kids are sorted for chocolate eggs and bunnies, i'll happily make treats for grown-ups..

bit of a contrast..

if they're not careful, they'll get chain grease all over those lovely strides..

@ Greasy - thanks for the link, most kind

photo ^^^^ is it just me or does it look like he's being taken out for a walk by his carer? maybe it's the safety helmet, the clutching of straws and the scale differential that does it..

cheers for the steer greasy, you been shopping in bulk for personal use? remember, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips..

(obviously i will conveniently 'forget' this piece of advice when taste testing...and of course, will be cycling off the evidence)

ok, bulk purchase of cornflakes on order! yum - better carry a few for deserving chefs and riders (this is a thinly veiled excuse to do lots of tasting throughout the cooking process, after all..)

:)

hey scott et al

brilliant idea and would love to get involved. i make a mean chocolate cornflake nest and am happy to spend time on Good Friday knocking out a few dozen, if you think they might appeal?

well, what an entertaining night! lovely chats with one and all and thanks Jonny for the drink - my shout next time (but you get the full size portion)

i am working out my gearing for next time i get asked and will be in training for the relay, inspired by BRM's superb athletic prowess..;)

a recent joiner but will be popping along later to meet some peeps and say howdy...

that trailer gave me goosebumps.. great track for it

he's a bit of talent is old spike (love that name..), was just watching his pharcyde video last night, my tiny mind completely blown by the whole reverse filming effort

Yep, that's pretty much what will go down.

I myself side with the protesters.

A crusty.... i knew it!

vera would have loved nick, she would have had to. she was a christian

Please clarify. Do you mean 'uninterested', as in apolitical (in a party political context), or do you mean 'unbiased' (what 'disinterested' actually means), as in totally sitting on the fence/middle of the road?

I'm only asking this for the benefit of P-M's market research.

ah, no fence sitting here, but apolitical doesn't do it either. i'm very motivated by small 'p' politics. I shall re-phrase it to "i detest party politics" for the purposes of clarity and P-M's MR.

i wonder what you'd get if you crossed Nick Manning with Vera Brittain..

if by 'what you meant to achieve here' you mean giving him attention. then yes.

uhm, yes... hurrumph, oh dear... post fail :(

bernard manning joke anyone?

There are several assumptions I would make. I think this community is largely:

1. Reasonably left wing (or at least not a tory voter).
   
2. Under 30.
   
3. Have been riding for many years (perhaps continuously since children).
   
4. Majority are not 'settled down'.
   
5. Most of us like interesting music - but specifically not just trendy shit.
   
6. Like to think of themselves as Bohemian.
   8 Perhaps have environmental concerns
   
   

Is this correct, as a generalisation?

I dipped into this thread because, as a baby noob, it looked like it might have some interesting anthropological details about the wide range of people here who share a common interest.

the only value i can see in starting it with a list of assumptions, followed by the desire to have others validate said assumptions, is to seek out others who share qualities that have been identified in the OP as desirable. in which case, why not title the thread more accurately, perhaps "egomaniac seeks like-minded others"?

i am utterly disinterested in party politics in either direction, am over 40, have been cycling since childhood as a mode of convenient transport rather than as a fashion accessory or tribal identification, consider any music described as 'interesting' to be unlistenable to (progressive jazz a case in point here), am not from the Czech Republic but i am very strongly motivated by a concern for the environment.

so i'd have to say, as far as they relate to me, the assumptions are statistically way off the fucking scale in the wrong direction.

does that help with whatever it is you're trying to achieve here?

i always whip before intruding, it's just good manners

Liar

don't be disappointed Balki, if you ask Greasy nicely, i'm sure he'll give you a little tickle next time ;)

...and if you wear the romper suit, you might get a cuddle after

what, no midday lie-downs?!? not even after a small bottle of tepid, slightly on-the-turn milk?

i feel cheated.

at least the romper suit wasn't over-ruled... i will emerge triumphant in towelling greasy slag - you don't frighten me.

oops, late contribution... must check updates before going off to google...

Everyone else tends to get out of the fucking way when they hear an emergency vehicle's siren. How long did your hissy fit delay them from getting to the emergency? FFS...

you have a point sir, but reckless, even dangerous, driving by the rozzers isn't unusual. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7000318.stm

...i'm slightly more bemused by the fact that they apologised, as opposed to throwing lolo across the bonnet, cuffing and nicking him/her for obstructing them in the line of duty. and throwing in a kicking for good measure.

ah my lovely new honey coloured brookes B17...responsible for a very rosy cheek or two after that ride..

I am impressed Andy remembered the after taste, the sweets Balki usually gives the nursery members leave your memory hazy and very patchy.

but on the plus side, they're cheaper than therapy

i think i've been let out of here now but i like it. do i get a romper suit and afternoon naps?

so you haven't been tempted to go back for seconds? how disappointing for Balki.. but i guess it explains why he's cruising the nursery.. :-)

i guess andy liked those sweets...

^my mum told me about people like you

hey mr fitz - a recent joiner also? nice to make your acquaintence...

@greasy slaaag & CB.. nothing wrong with these legs that a bit more riding won't cure... checking the diary for the 30th. if i start out now, i might just make it for last orders :o)
