gus - thanks again for the tube. Saw you sprinting past Hackney Town Hall about 8pm and wondered if you had got lost on the way home!
@Oliver - thanks for the organising as usual. i thought it was a great late summer ride, regardless of Ilias fall and Niel's grumbling about not enough pub stops

By the way...
If anyone gets their saddle nicked east-ways theres a good chance it will turn up at the waste market on Kingsland Road. Theres an old drunk guy who has bags of (mostly Brooks) saddles. He doesnt lay stuff out, you have to know who he is and ask to see things. So if anyone looses a specific saddle let me know and I'll keep an eye out - its only ten quid to get it off him.only a tenner to get it back AND keep the criminal in the game! c'mon guys don't buy stolen goods - end of... even if it was yours to start with

assume you mean the narrow boat pub on the canal & st peters st, islington. FYI - I live a block away from there, and stumbling home on Fri night (about midnight) was two undercover and another patrol arguing with a group of 10 or so guys that matched your description. the usual crims in the neighbourhood are 12-14yo schemies, these guys were a bit older and really yelling back at the cops. this was outside the duke of cambridge on St Peters St.
obviously this information is pretty much useless - but just thought your incident might be connected

think GA2G's point about LBS price matching should be repeated. I am all about helping the local guys. yes you can find a big national store that will match prices, but first ask your LBS if they can match (or even just improve on their marked prices). often, they simply can't squeeze their margins like the big guys and/or internet shops - but no harm in asking
Both Cyclesurgery and Evans will price-match to internet prices (companies physically based in the UK), if corrobarating evidence is shown - a photocopy of the online item with its price included will do.
Many LBS's will price match to local (same city) shops. Just ask.

the other side of the pillow, 61 wilton way, e81bg
A mate recently opened a new store just north of London Fields selling vintage trainers, sunglasses, cameras amongst other things. Most NOS I believe. Thought some of the resident East London Hipsters might be interested, because what else is cooler than... the other side of the pillow.

ethanol should taste like vodka, seeing as that what it is albiet watered down, i.e. a neautral spirit. up until the fall of the USSR the spirit was produced by the governement (to 95-98% abv = ethanol) then passed on to companies to add water, bottle and sell the stuff. hence, why premium vodka is just a marketing scam [the premium you pay is for the water and the designer bottle]
me, i'm a whisky (note no e) man. single cask single malt with a little water depending on strength - but if someone wants to add ice let them, coke just give them a cheap blend.

all this talk of length and girth of one's member reminds me of a conundrum came across a couple of years ago - even those text message Q&A services were unable to help
is a chode:
a) longer than it is wide, or
b) longer than it's girth (i.e. circumfrence)[at my school there was one guy with the former (flaccid - not sure erect), who unfortunately was teased/bullied to no end. so i always thought he was in the very small minority of chodes, however if b is the correct definition I would assume that statiscally there is quite a few chodes around]
... on re-reading that it sounds very much like a 'I know this guy' stories
could be up for this - if there early Jun could celebrate my cask of Bruichladdich's 4th birthday... only another 10 or so to go!
