Well it worked for me Loz. All bald stocky men are scared of me now;-)

My tip to the OP: Buy you're fella a set of weights, a punchbag and boxing gloves. In 4 or 5 months he'll be a hard b*****d like Charles Bronson (the hardman villain not the hollywood actor)and no stocky bald men will want to f*** with him again. Now I'll sit back and see what berk cuts and paste my comments!

I know I've said this before but JAGS sports is ideal. Its only 37 beer tokens a month its open from 6am to 10pm Saturdays and Sundays, 6am to 8am and 6pm to 10pm mondays to fridays term time (in school hols I think its open 6am to 10pm) they have free weights that go to 25kgs so they cater for the adonises (like myself B) ) and it has a cross section of users, plus squash, badminton, swimming and other activities are free.

How about opening a 'Taboo' shop? That would last a lot longer in ED.

Im a member of JAGS sports club. Its cheap, have 2 gyms, swimming pool and free use of squash courts and floodlit tennis courts. there are always free courses going on for members. I thouroughly recommen it.

Mick said: I don't mind the ?4, its the 10p that kills me. This means 90p of heavy change. After 10 pints and ?9 worth of heavy change, I can barely get myself home Mick: thats ?9 to go towards your kebab with chilli sauce innit?>:D<

>My rule on a bike is that having right of way doesn't matter if you are under the wheels of a truck or a bus. Truck drivers should be much more aware of cyclists than they are but, more importantly, cyclists should be terrified, wary and totally suspicious of trucks. The cyclists have a lot more to lose than the truck drivers!< I extend that to cars and vans as well. I just cycle defensively. How many times I see a driver (car of lorry) about to pull out of a side road, look my way but don't notice me and pull out. If I don't cycle defensively I probably wouldn't be here now. I think there should be an advertising campaign similar to the one regarding motorcycles.

>I'd like to also see some 'incentive' for the minority of pedestrians who cross the road in front my bike with their iPod in or chatting on the phone. >In the states it's called jay walking and the more I cycle/ride/drive in London the >more i think we could do with something similiar. I've been involved in umpteen accidents of this sort not just in my cycle courier days but even now. I mention somewhere else on this forum that I just brace for a crash cos most of the time if I brake hard I go over the handlebars and I'm damned if Im going to swerve around them and risk getting torpedoed from behind.

Just something that I have to put up with; I usually use the Greendale Cycle path when out riding it and always gets me that people walk on the cycle path instead of the footpath and then when I announce that I'm coming up behind them I get moaned at even though they are walking on the cycle route. Pearson- you wear Rapha??? I could only dream of affording Rapha. I'm afraid its Decathlon cycle clothing for the likes of me!

Im wearing my usual then

I know exactly what you mean Emerson. I was cock a hoop when our reject Nayim scored 'that goal' to beat Seaman from the half way lane for Zaragoza a few years back. When I saw Adebayor was in the Madrid side I would have bet my mortgage on that bugger scoring.

Simon says: >I thought the annual Southwark Show was at Southwark Park, not Burgess. It was 1 of three organised each summer at fornightly intervals in June & July by the Council? The other 2 were at Peckham Rye and Belair, the latter coinciding with the annual Steam mFair there. They were all cancelled for reasons of economy IIRC, but were always packed out and enjoyable except when it rained I'm going back a few years Simon (probably very late 80's early 90's!

Anyway Im off home on the bike now. Just have to insert the razor sharp swords in the wheels and I'm on my way(6)

Pearson I'm hurt:(

I always take the A40/North Circular route. When u get marble arch instead of going up the edgware road, turn left following signs for Bayswater and then follow signs 'A40 Oxford'. Then go onto the A406 North Circular and then pick up the M1 from there. I find it a lot faster then going up the Edgeware Road.
