Sandperson

Damn, I've got four of the worst bites I've ever had this week. I was racing cyclocross at Herne Hill velodrome and there were small black flies around pestering me. I thought the bites were nettle stings at first but it must have been these blighters. I hardly react to mossies but these are agony AND itchy even a few days later. I've got bottles and bottles of SSS so I'll be using that next time!

Great business. Just don't call him Del Boy.

You'll be able to map and time runs using GPS with the iPhone Liz. In fact it'll probably be able to take your classes for you if you find the right App.

They were always planned to be blue, it's just a 'happy' coincidence that it's Barclays blue. I saw the plans for them last year, before sponsorship was in place and blue was always the colour.

And if it's diesel you won't be able to bump it either.

Not on a wind-up but with Gerrard and Torres not on good form and Mascherano causing trouble I think it's the latter Mick. Woy has a hell of a job to do now.

I think he's been drinking and is over emotional. :)) Not too worried about a draw at Fulham. They've been a good team recently and have given us a good run for out money and with Rooney out it was always going to be a bit makeshift up front. I'm looking forward to the reactions from tomorrow night's game.

I've got a late 80's early 90's mtb in the shed which might need a fair amount of work would that be any good?

He is a good player when fit. Gallas is also a ponce, I concur.

Yes, but it's Woodgate...he'll be fit for two games then out for another six months.

Those Ruskin minibuses are a menace!

Matt, you get funnier with every season. No united in your top four but Liverpool second. Hilarious. Joe Cole's two footed challenge was trying to win the ball and shouldn't have been a red but Scholes should have been sent off...double hilarious. We looked good last night but the opposition weren't up to much. Some great interlinking play, I think this season could be a good one.

United! :))

Urgh. Nappies. I've got that to go through again in October. A baby on the way, not me having to wear them again.

I think it was just a bit of light-hearted banter wasn't it?

You can turn off after that Quids. Save the electric. ;-)

From the Highway Code: 60 At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit. It MUST also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if manufactured after 1/10/85). White front reflectors and spoke reflectors will also help you to be seen. Flashing lights are permitted but it is recommended that cyclists who are riding in areas without street lighting use a steady front lamp. [Law RVLR regs 13, 18 & 24)]

Apparently, according to my mate at SSN, they hold a profile page on all opponents as well. Casillas was on there last season. Still, we don't need him.

Just > asking, like. Oh, I get it. You're one of those perfect cyclists and perfect drivers. I didn't ban you from this or any other thread, that's not in my power more's the pity, I just don't understand why you have to be antagonistic and why you'd come on here to be so negative. Every time there's a cycling related thread you decide it's your place to tell us how crap we are. Your opinions for me were negated when you brushed aside a poster on this forum who had smashed their face up after hitting a pothole and facing thousands of pounds of dental treatment you said they should chalk it up to experience. As a daily cyclist I stop at red lights, let cars out in front of me and I'm courteous. I see countless examples of other riders, just like me, who obey the rules of the road and are responsible. I also see cyclists who aren't but the same goes for drivers. I am a British Cycling and British Triathlon member so I have 3rd party insurance. As for licensing bikes, where do you start? Does my two year old have to have a license on her push along? It's a ridiculous idea and unworkable.

Can we just take it as read that all the women are going to say shoes?

My daughter has a prominent one in the middle of her forehead about the size of a ?2 coin and very raised. She cope pretty well with it now and we are undergoing a treatment programme of laser at St Thomas Hospital as we are worried that she may be stigmatized when she goes to school and we are hoping it will go before then. Laser only seems to offer an 80% reduction at best anyway and she has to have a short general every time which isn't nice. It was very red before the treatments started and it has changed a fair amount. I an PM a picture if any of you want to see. I'm also sure we could meet up if anyone wants a hat about our experiences.

I'm moving to Catford in a couple of months so I don't think I'll see it finished.
