It's not the done thing to talk about your bike, Binary_Star (this goes for you too, Pearson) especially when it's an off the shelf stocker! No-one's going to be impressed until you've got something worth bragging about! Or something.

Some riders claim it gives you a better 'connection' with the bike and forces you to anticipate what's happening on the road more. I can't really comment, not being part of the clique, but I tend to pay a lot of attention to what's going on ahead of me anyway. I can fully understand the benefits when riding on track, MLTeenie

Hi Davros, Not fixed, but I ride a single speed Charge Plug 2010 - have *tried* riding it fixed but with no foot retention and with winter approaching it's not the best combo - I'll probably wait until Spring is sprung before trying it again. A friend has been riding fixed now for the past 3 months and has already gone through 2 tyres as a result of skidding too much B) Am up for a ride some time - a few of my mates do regular rides around England and have just come back from a ride to Amsterdam. I think they've got a facebook group. PM me if you're interested in details.

Where's the beef?

1/10 Epic Fail.

Snorky/Huncs, in answer to your question: not-quite-cold-enough bottled beer & mediocre cocktails, followed by a knee-trembler behind HSBC and (I'm second-guessing myself here) a visit to the clap clinic on Monday. What's not to like?

Maybe his flatmates heard you call him 'Sprogg' and thought he was a soft touch? Anyway, he needs to put it down to experience and 'man the fuck up'. If he does find the culprit, he should give them a good kicking, make them pay for the missing groceries and the problem will be over...until the next stoned monkey gets a dose of the munchies.

Gonja Sufi's "Ancestors" from the excellent 'A Sufi and a Killer" album. A smoky, bluesy, sitar-led track. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new sound.

The Laughing Cow is acceptable but ONLY when referred to as 'La vache qui rit' and consumed on a crusty (supermarket) baguette, along with fond memories of childhood camping trips to the Dordogne. FACT.

Perudo (or Liar's Dice as it's also known). A great dice game, hugely addictive.

Winged monkey?

Bicycle?

Cab?

THINK LIKE A BURGLAR: TYPE IN CAPS.

FYI, Brockwell fireworks are cancelled this year. They've gone a bit 'Cheech and Chong' according to the South London Post. Link

Waitrose is coming to East Dulwich. FACT. This elderly chap that you speak of, was he dressed as a clown?

What product is, to distibut and make building incomes, with?

I'm surprised at you, Snorky. Didn't have you down as a fan of Clarkson, Sewell et al. Are you shifting slightly to the right in your old age?
