A mate of mine is moving to the US next week and put his bike up on ebay at the last minute. It's a very decent build but he's a tad anxious he'll have to let it go for way less than he was hoping for. Anyway, take a look if you're after a nice complete bike. I reckon he'd have been better of splitting it up

I think it's all a false alarm or all sorted now. It was quite exciting for about 19 minutes.

Wait, not that I wanted it to be a bomb, but it's a slow day in the office. Dunno if the street is still closed off though if you're heading back that way.

Yeah, bomb scare/suspect package according to the police. My office is now in the bomb scare corden...Carthusian St.

What's going on down there? I've got people saying that it's completely blocked off with a robot investigating something (which I'm not sure I believe)...I can't see much from my office by Barbican.

good.

I'm not cool enough for this thread.

There are a few of us popping over to the boulder on Shoreditch Park to have a bit of a climb and see what it's like there. The more the merrier.

You can climb that thing? I didn't know that/think about that. Is it any good?

I tried power grips a year or so ago and they are a nice design to fit your shoe into, but mine also snapped when pulling (an emergency) skid. They're not really made for that sort of dramatic tug, so I'd steer well clear (I looked like a right cunt falling off my bike). Just get some double straps on your lead foot.

...Convincing my flatmate about some horrible news. I feel a little bad now, actually.

My girlfriend's mother once asked what happened to Magnum Part II.

There was someone in my school called Willy Leeks, and another called Ryan Maiden. One of the foreign students was called Gbemmi Obamai which soon became Gbendy Obumgay. One of the teachers was Mr. Hadcock, who also had a son at the school.

This is the best thing anyone has ever written on this forum.

(Derailed, soz)

And this is true: my mother (who works in a school) has a kid called Loran Ranger.

I went to uni with a guy called Christopher Peacock. At high school and uni he was chris peacock, and when he went to work and started using initials he was c. peacock. Poor guy.

I know his brother, Drew.

I'm pretty sure I would've got a lot further in life had my surname been "eagle".

The worst part is my mother's maiden name is Wildman. How fucking cool is that?

Thanks a lot, Sexism.

I was called 'Pidgeon Shit.'

My surname is Pidgeon. This caused lots of pain at school.

^fucking genius

I have a HOLE lot of questions to ask about potholes, maybe someone could FILL ME IN?

What a goof. Hope she's ok - do you reckon the guy worked down there? Can I go and push him over? I only need a brief description.

Needs sound and is *sort *of okay for work.

wtf? That is mind boggling. Is that being lobbied against?

Oooh, ooh - and taking my old man to Brighton: http://zezaurian.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-bum-hurts.html

I have captured my highlights here, here and here over the year. They pretty much all involve my friend falling off his bike. Oh, and here. The guy is a nightmare.

Hello, cycling chums,

A writing class I've been involved with for a while now is headed up by this insanely industrious guy that has produced an anthology of work centred on the bookshop he runs down Brick Lane (You should all know it, it's called Eastside Books). It's a good, independent shop and the work in the anthology (that I've read) is excellent. I also happen to have a short story in there called Derek's Throne.

There will be another, smarter version of this book coming out next year (with amazing artwork done by my talented little sister of Pearl Fisher fame). But to ensure we get that far we need to sell as many versions of this first edition...so I'm plugging this far and wide...It's a real labour of love and no one is making any money from this. We're just consolidating our work and interests.

The foreword is by the excellent Russ Willey (an amusing London Historian) and you can read what he says about the work under the 'preview' option under the main image in the link below.

Buy it here for a fiver: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/the-bookshop-in-brick-lane/7852030

And also availble in the book shop.

Cheers,

D.
