I'd like a tandem, but Woolly isn't keen on the idea.
Fingers crossed that I get my unpaid leave request approved so we can spend it on a cycle tour in Oz and NZ (not looking too likely at the moment, sadly).

With you two it would have an 'interesting' frame sizing....

That is ju because you can't pedal and laugh at the same time

I do admit, this is a major flaw of mine.

And tandems are a major cause of fun and giggles.

If this cannot put a smile on your face there's little hope for you.

Please buy it - I'm having itchy 'Place bid' finger issues.

And it has the advantage that the 'stoker' front seat has an independent freewheel, and the captain can see if it is in use.

Very nice. If you wanted a Titanium Hase Pino, that looks to be a bargain.

And if the stoker is giggling uncontrolably, she won't fall off

. Mind you, I never have, despite lots of giggling

Peli, we have never consummated our promise to one another that we would share a tandem one day.

How about it, gal?

just for your own sake don't make her laugh, especially while going up hill.

I haz a new (well, new to me) PA system. Mixer, poweramp and speakers.

I plugged it in to the sound output from my telly and watched the helicopter assault scene from Apocalypse Now (some hours ago before it was too antisocial a proposition).

"Put on psywar op, make it loud. This is a romeo foxtrot, shall we dance?"

At 200 watts per side it's, er, impressive.

There are a lot of chocolate digestive biscuits in the biscuit tin.
I have put a kg on by just looking at them

Just completed the first draft of an important document. It should be good for a few people

I got home today, after a rather challenging weekend, and I only had to spend 1.5hrs on the chopper this time, instead of 1.5h + another 1.5h sitting with the doors open waiting for the snow to stop like we did on the way out.
An I has a nice warm furry happy thing on my lap

No OU tutorial tonight! Get a chance to get ahead in the next assignment (or drink BEER).

My complaint to local gym has ended with me getting 12 months free membership.

My duff Canon camera may be repaired free because of known fault.

Me, posting on the The Good News Thread, unbelievable.
