hehe. Just playing. Wear what you like as long as you MEAN IT! Rules are for fools.

I reckon it was those shifty looking helicopters skulking in the vicinity.

Blackpool has more hotel beds than Portugal.

Back in 1879, Blackpool holidaymakers stood in awe of EIGHT arc lamps, an experimental display described as artificial sunshine. The first street lighting in the whole world.

I will be redefining paradigms of urban pootle couture. Take note.

I really rate Stone Roses and Ian Brown, but whenever I’ve seen them live the guy just can’t hit the notes. Shame.

Any ideas?

delicate and effete lycra pansies vs rugged baggies mtb heroes. Where’s that stickman fighting thing to settle it?

Keep on keeping on. Same rules apply.

Grassy knolls? Clock towers? Washington petrol stations? The world’s your oyster!

justifying budgets?

Sailor Jerry is very flavourful. You get caramel, vanilla, and all kinds of tastes in it.

Bacardi 151 will take your head off. Danger!

10am by the Eye for a 10.15 departure worked nicely last time. I’m easy on the route too. We have to end at a pub though. If we go East the next one can be West, or vice versa.

If we’re going West this time (more people have talked about that) let’s have West experts suggesting good bits to weave into the route. What’s been said so far sounds like a good basis, but rolling along a pedestrian-heavy river route might need spicing up a bit.

Oh yeah, did I mention we need a pub to end at?

Cheers folks. I’ll try pushing the pistons back in.

They’re Alligator metallic pads.

Sunday 29th it is then.

Now.. route ideas?

Nice! Your next one has to be orange and green (instead of green and orange).

😆

Bummer. Can’t you ride one handed?

@ Trampus –

“imho” – In all my years of bigotry

haha!

Going forward. 😡

Very nice. Make sure you don’t get it dirty! 😉

More muddiness.

I discovered this band from Manchester yesterday. They had an ace tune about smoking and drinking. Oasis, or something..?

Seriously tho, I’ve always found most of my music by artists referencing, covering, featuring or name-dropping each other, or by being mentioned in similar or new terms in articles. To some extent they’ve all told me about the next one. Even if I’ve gone out on a limb with a purchase I’ve in some way heard the name or something about them before I buy. Very little of what I like is as a result of someone telling me about it. It’s not like unheard-of musicians pop up in front of me unannounced as I walk down the street.

HK soundsticks are amazing. They need to be heard to be believed.

Zane Lowe. Worse than irritating. Actually painful sometimes.

Just had Kung Po quorn n noodles

Just ran out of Grolsch 🙁

Plastician on loud at the mo.

Is the mattress dry?

I’m up for this. Work in London Bridge, so that’s good for me. Will probably be able to make a weeknight pint.

I never see mine. They just fling stuff over the gate. Nice.

661 Raji in the summer – breezy. Dakine x-cross in the winter – cosy.

I wanted some Oakley Factory Pilots but the carbon knuckle plate just dug into my hand. Shame, coz they seem like an otherwise excellent glove, and look like what stormtroopers wear when they session some rad to the power of sick lines on the death star. 8)

Yeah baby! Rollin’ on dubs! Peeyump that sheeit! Show some respect, etc.

^^^^^^^
That is the point.

Away from the wall, of course!

Moses – Ryanair should have re-routed, reimbursed and maybe compensated you. Call the Air Transport Users Council (AUC)

Also depends if the wind is with you or not.

‘Bronx cheer’! I haven’t heard that one since the glorious days of whoopee cushions.

Does anybody use a smartphone with GPS for rides? Thinking about getting one..

A bit o’ spit and they don’t move! Lock-ons solve a problem I don’t have. I don’t like them because the lock gets in the way of my hand, and will always get scratched up in crashes or when I lean the bike on a wall.

sputnik – you’re a gentleman and a scholar. My email is mpstone At hotmail Dot com

Yep, other forums are full of pointless drivel. This one just has a bit of it.

STW is special. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.

shut up.

I agree that most Express/Mail frothing is tiresome though. So called PC has done a lot of good.
