also, you ought to get yer own mallet and have a few practice sesh's down teh park with the boyf :)

then when you're strong and polowerful, wipe the floor with fin and dan :D
yeah, i will get my own mallet at some point, but bf has fucked off, or rather i fucked him off so no practising with him i'm afraid. hence the moving. although this time is cos the landlord is getting rid of us rather than anything else. I have that effect on men :(

sorry i've been so shit and not been since that time soooo many weeks ago. coincidentally I am moving next door to calthorpe park in just over a week so you can look forward to more comedy dismounts and utter failure to meet ball with mallet :)

i don't know whether it's WITH the council? Sounds like it's just cyclists from what I read. Dunno whether I can go either but I emailed them a rant about the contraflow cycle lane on hill st/hurst st.

being realistic this is looking unlikely for me now, as tis mate's birthday celebrations on sat etc. have fun y'all.

heh, nuff skin loss! that was a harsh-looking crash, must have been sore.
didn't hurt too much at the time, the bruises started showing on monday - in six different places.

will try not to make it a habit :D

I cant believe I actually went to polo. Finally, a small amount of motivation.

Don't really wanna get the camera out around Calthorpe Park though, it's bare ghetto, mans dem was lookin rah shady.
my mate who lives round the corner was gonna bring her camera out tonight after i told her about the polo, she'll be disappointed to know she lives in a ghetto ;)

i won't be coming tonight, not feeling too good today, was enough of a struggle getting to work this morning.

thanks all for your hospitality on sunday, will come to the next session. my bruises are fading nicely :D

will he take a cheque? :D i've lost my purse and have no access to cash until tomorrow at least :(

can someone spot me a mallet too pls? :)

I do wish the author of the thread would just come out and specify cases, maybe I could understand the reasoning behind this. My own view is women are respected as much as men (and who can tell who is what behind the Avatars of some), and some women are as good as the blokes at giving out.
i've not been here that long but i have noticed a tendency towards juvenility in threads. a fair few of those are nominally sexist but I don't think it's meant seriously, at least that's my impression.

however, aside from that fact a lot of it just isn't funny - i appreciate humour as much as the next person, but this isn't - i think it adds to the general impression of this community as housing a bunch of 14 year old boys. and no offence, but if this forum has suffered from a bunch of women leaving, colour me unsurprised.

i have no doubt the we can defend ourselves from sexism, but being serious for a moment, it gets bloody hard and dispiriting when you're in a minority and it's the same few women feeling obliged to post over and over again pointing it out. or you leave it, as i have been tempted to do on other forums and no one else steps in. it gives newbies the impression that it's ok and maybe they don't realise it's meant in jest because you guys all have the advantage of knowing each other, personally in some cases, you know how each other's humour works and what's acceptable and what's not on a personal level.

i can skip over silly remarks about women's attributes, sexist jokes which aren't meant seriously and all that but there is a lot of it and it is noticeable.

and fwiw, the word cunt is fine, imo.

done

I hate referring to someone as a 'legend' - I honestly hate the term, but if anyone deserves that accolade...

i know, what a dude. inspirational really. if he can do it, anyone can. no offence intended mr izzard.

i used to run a lot years ago and then got fat and lazy, started to get back into it slowly over the last couple of weeks. hard not to wonder where i'd be now if i'd just kept up with it. still, autumn and winter is the best weather for running so i'm looking forward to it.

did some stewarding at trailtrekker this year, the guys who finished first outclassed everyone else by so much it was almost funny. 66 miles across the yorkshire dales and they ran the whole fucking thing. finished 5 hours in front of the next team.

roads close at 5am apparently.

its baldrick! (same baldrick of u75 yeh?) hows the bike?
spotted this 3 months late :D

yes, same one indeed. predictable = me. bike is wikked. how's you?

shame :(

that sounds an awful lot like yes to me :p

can i come? looks like fun :)

red raleigh fixie spotted outside the wetherpoons by the library on friday lunchtime.

the trains to leics were pretty rubbish when central were running them, would never have dared try to squeeze a bike on, it was like a game of sardines from hell on saturday mornings :(

i exhibit no surprise that the earliest you can get there on a sunday is 10:50. Lame.
