Lumicycle halides.

<horn-rim glasses> I think you'll find that that's L. ledides, not halides. Guh-huck.

Oh. Never mind.

Hmm well I should probably start with it being a lemon - a bitter one in fact. I've got a very 'Charlie Brooker' attitude towards most stuff, hence the "bitter lemon"... ;D

The oversized muscly legs are because my legs are totally out of proportion with the rest of my body. I suppose I've got the classic cyclist physique - incredibly skinny upper half (despite the amount of cake I eat :P) and huge legs. The oversized triceps for the same reason - I don't know why but they're out of proportion to all the other muscles on my upper half.

The socks - I'm known for my colourful socks (which are totally at odds with the Charlie Brookeresque outlook, I guess).

The huge eyebrows because I have hugeeee eyebrows, and constantly go on about how much I hate them. They remind me of two slugs attached to my forehead.

The stickyup tuft of brown hair because my hair insists on sticking up on top, ala Burt from Sesame Street.

Oh, and the bike, for obvious reasons. :thumbsup:

In reality I actually look like this:



Excuse the tired gormless looking expression - the photo was taken at a friend's 18th rather early in the morning. :-[

That doesn't look very challenging, you should try a jump onto the Devil's Chimney. ;D

Here you go, taken just seconds before I leapt over the barrier, and did a little tap dance on top of the chimney ;)



That picture takes me back! Back in 1984 (possibly 1985) I worked for a scaffolding company in Cheltenham and we scaffolded 'The Devil's Chimney' to allow a specialist contractor to literally 'pin' the structure down to the bed rock. I think it might also have been injected with resin to glue it together as it was deteriorating quite badly. I took pictures and had them published in our company magazine. Can't remember the barrier being there but it was a few years ago now!

The last "stage" of the Oxford alleycat on Friday involved applying lipstick:

I don't need an excuse to wear lipstick and hang around outside dustbins! :)

Wow, good stuff. I moved to Cheltenham 6 years ago and I don't remember the barrier being there then. You could just walk off the edge and tumble 50 feet or so, the way mother nature intended!

I'm thinking of re-titling this thread "Post a picture of yourself so everyone can take the mickey", because, let's face it, that's what it is  :)
