I had numerous punctures situated on the edge of the tyres (which could not be repaired) when I lived in Herne Hill but no nails or screws in the tyre, which suggested someone was choosing their spot to perforate them.

It made such a contrast to all the hard done by estate agents on LL James.

If we pulled such strokes we would get quod, how do they escape the locking up which they thoroughly deserve? City bankers is rhyming slang innit?

What have they ever done for us? Candles slippers noses esque arches

Fly from greenwich city airport;-)

Have they kidnapped the nipper having a pee?

A Goth walks in orders a drink "black velvet please" it's appropriate.

Finish off Crystal Palace?? I would flatten it and start again, it's a hideous dump.

We've had sun three days in a row

According to Private Eye Lehman losses were 6.6 billion usd in 2008 Staff bonuses in 2006 were 8.7 billion usd No feckless, reckless, snouts in troughs there then.

You do have the pleasure of knowing that what has been done since your occupation, has been done with a certain quality and that you have a pleasant abode for the forseeable future Marmora Man. It does not matter what its worth if you have peace of mind with the results. Sod the market and live life as you please, it is first and foremost a home and if it happens to be a good investment that is a bonus.

The comedy club which happened at the old Magdala used to get full to bursting it was so successful, perhaps that would suit The Duke.

They should throw into the plague pit, all the bankers with an estate agent under each arm.

Sorry Blinder I disagree, I couldn't care a jot if cyclists wants to take a risk with their immediate future whilst maintaining momentum. They can jump every red light from here to John o Groats as far as I am concerned it is their decision and all I can say is, I'm envious. I think cyclists have a rough deal in urban areas, and I have no wish to make life any more difficult for them.

Get the lightest one you can afford, it will pay you back over every gradient. If you have to carry anything to and from work, get a saddle-bag with a quick release, do not carry anything in a back pack when riding, always put the weight on the bike.

Village life has resumed, hooray.

Dear Moos you paint such a graphic picture, made me LOL.

Go for it M.Man as an ex cyclist I agree with your post. Momentum is all.

Not at all welcome as far as I am concerned mockers, when these things collapse, no one knows the depth to which it will fall, and re-starting the economy from a position of debt makes it more difficult to rescue. When a bank gets bailed out like Northern wreck, it is tougher to save the next one, so now they just merge and hope that the all important confidence, is maintained. A few years ago Lloyds brokers were in the news when they had a number of syndicates go to the wall and it was described as a house of cards due to lots of reinsurance business being connected, no one realised how shakey it all was. I personally much prefer to maintain the status quo rather than any dangerous financial failures.

At cyclists own risk if they jump the lights, if they collide with anything they come off worst, wotch ya gonna do.
