My mate Kev got a call inviting him to Manchester for the Track World Cup. He's riding man 1 in the team sprint for the SiS (treads.com) trade team. Go Kev!

Oi! Are you trying to suggest that I'm old?

No. Inappropriate labelling is part of Sauron's evil agenda.

Hmmm....if that toddle round the Grampians of yours happens, I might have to carry a rolled up newspaper just in case

That reminds me... Recently, in connection with something else completely and in order to prove the axiom that there is an internet forum for everything, I did a search for a walking stick forum. And do you know what? There isn't one!

Wowbagger · « **Reply #3432 on:** 15 February, 2011, 10:00:32 pm »

What about a zimmer frame forum?

JohnP · « **Reply #3433 on:** 15 February, 2011, 10:09:37 pm »

Zimmer Frame Gamers - Home - Clan website might suit you.

I don't think it's quite what I had in mind. There's a lower age limit of 16.

It's never too early to start thinking of your grandchildren's futures.

Lovely! I see they even have carbon fibre!

There doesn't seem to be any titanium though.

But it's not quite a forum, is it? I mean there's no chat on there about the lovely sooty goodness of your new pedestrian self-propulsion appliance.

There's a stick section on this woodcarving forum:

You know what - I think people are beginning to take this a bit too seriously...

My friend Lydia has just rebranded her Silversaurus website as Lydia Niziblian jewellery and I have just won one of her pebble heart pendants.*squee* Her stuff is gorgeous. I have 2 of her necklaces, and £75 gift vouchers from my birthday waiting to be spent.

This is what I have won

And this is it on me now it has arrived

That's just lovely.
As is the pendant.

(Paging Bobb; there's photos of Kirst's t*ts here...)

Certainly did. Stroud Museum always had a section on the walking stick business.

Knob sticks, fnarr, fnarr

I remember an old flatmate in Bath talking admiringly of the city's architecture and historical features, such as its knob ends.

That's the decorative designs of metal bollards. Apparently.

Having been unemployed from May - December 2010, and at the last gasp of my finances got a short term contract (albeit 65 miles from home) which is due to end mid-march, I attended an interview on Wednesday, and today have been told I would be welcome there in a fortnight - only 14 miles form home, on a better rate, and for at least a year. Result.

LindaG · « **Reply #3447 on:** 17 February, 2011, 04:25:13 pm »

Which gives you time to recover from your lurgy!

Congratulations ratfletcher!
