Great night Erin! See you in the not too distant future!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Maybe, but it was still luck rather than judgement. Literally. I turned the heat down once the water was boiling and assumed the eggs were simmering. I noticed after 5 (of recommended 6) mins that they weren't.

@ Balki: 'Knackers' is a very good cook. I can't even boil eggs (hence runny yolk though I think the second batch of eggs might be slightly more cooked; they were certainly less soul destroying to peel). He dealt with the sharp things and the meat! I.e. made the bread crumbs, finely chopped the herbs for the sausage meat, mixed the sausage meat, and then, when I'd finished ruining the eggs, covered them in the sausage meat.

I did stuff that children can do like pick the sage leaves.

We made 12 scotch eggs, only ate 1 last night. If anyone wants to head to Peckham Rye this evening to sample 1 of the other 8 (I want one, and I'll reserve 2 for Dammit) they're more than welcome! They are rather tasty...

Chap doing very solid track stand at the Brixton Road/ Camberwell New Road lights. As he went past (I was on foot on the traffic island), I saw that he was on a Klein conversion. I love those frames!

Hello, sir (if you're on here), lovely track stand, lovely frame!

@ BRM

Ha! I'm very good friends with one of his daughters.

Having seen him at a few of his gigs, I was quite surprised to find that he was Captain of a Lawn Bowls club. Think he used to do a bit of cycle speedway too...

Oh yes, congratulations Richie!

I'll see if Workspace will send round an e-mail and put up a notice in the bike shed at Kennington Park Business Park (where I work). I'm afraid it was 15 mins too early for me.

Hi Nigel,

Sorry I missed this.

Belated Happy Birthday!

Congratulations on your marathon run too, I very much enjoyed reading the write up!

I had to be Best 'Man' (I'm female). A huge surprise as I didn't really know the groom; he's very quiet - spent a lot of time on the computer. The only stories I knew of were the 3 motorbike accidents he'd had where he'd broken bones/ destroyed nerve supply to his arm.

People want to enjoy themselves on the day, they want the couple to enjoy it i.e. they'll laugh at anything:

(Had established the groom had been saving for the engagement ring for several years) "I was truly impressed by how well he recognised the need for the ring to cost an arm and leg, I’m sure we’re all impressed by how literally he took the saying."

"Their home is your home, as I have demonstrated by the numerous times I’ve fallen asleep on their sofa. I can only hope that one day I will find the happiness that Nikki & David so obviously share, & such a comfortable sofa."

Genuinely, people laughed heartily at those. That's how much they want to enjoy themselves.

I think as people have said above, keep it short, be sincere, don't try and be someone you're not. I'd got stories from the groom's brother but I didn't really relate to them, so didn't use them.

Oh, don't miss anyone important off the thank you list!

Good luck, enjoy!

2 people on the opposite side of the road to me attempted track stands today at the same time whilst at the lights. They were both awful and I had the bonus of their facial expressions, they made me laugh aloud. One (who looked very serious about it) then jumped the red light - I presume his (lack of) track stand talent was about to expire. I think the other noticed me looking and laughing - seemed to amuse him.

I should be a bit more discreet really as I have never attempted a track stand.

+1 Charco

We all know the priorities are forum, cycling, Volvo, James, me!

On the subject of James - he had a dream he'd caught something last night whilst lying on the sofa next to me. Very amusing to watch. Not as good as the video of the grey cat walking across the glass table in socks though...

Enjoy climbing Mt Zoncolan today!

Hope the Grappa flows freely later on...

Did you actually see ACDC last night, or just hear them?!

There were 2 of these at the bike jumble at LMNH on Sunday. BlueQuinn and Dammit (not sure who he 'donated' his stuff to at the end, I think his name is Aroogah.)

Hi Hilary,

Dibs on (18) 1A 10cm 1980s good/very good £14 please.

PM very shortly.

Thanks

Hmmm, 155mph, with a slightly leaky head gasket? I thought we'd had a little talk about this...!

Belated happy birthday, (Mr) T!

That was fun, 32 miles done by five minutes past eight, it was good to cross the line at speed after zipping down the Mall.

???

Happy Birthday Will (lovely day for it)!

Is FixedWheelNut still about? I think he only rides fixed, and I know he's done London-Edinburgh-London.

Reen, this sticky: http://www.lfgss.com/thread41466.html

The Miller is on Snowsfields (there was a rider down thread not long ago on Snowsfields cyclist vs concrete lorry from the Shard)

The MIller by the Shard where they're sending one million concrete lorries tonight?
