So was it one of us going down King's Road last night wearing a PBP gilet?

Did I spot Origamist wizzing across Clapham Northside this morning, black shorts with red and yellow text (High Road?).

That certainly sounds like Origamist's attire.  But I'm amazed he was slow enough to be read.  He's normally to be seen overtaking neutrinos.

Not sure if it counts but KentBoo and I have just spotted each other tucking into a very nice lunch in Leadenhall Market.  Am now feeling very fat so may have to add in an extra loop to the ride home.

I spotted Andrij yesterday and I'm damn certain he spotted me.

TimO, with assorted colleagues (wonder what the collective noun for rocket scientists is?). For a coffee in south ken:)

A cell?

So what's it like drinking coffee with the world's coolest profession Crinkly?  And, do they make good coffee?

It's physics, so it's gotta be something quantum

A CrinklyLion in the Dana Centre Cafe, pretty much the opposite of the above!

I spent the time between then and now packing a board to be sent to the other side of the pond in full "asap, spend whatever money is necessary" mode, so I suspect the delay between the posts is acceptable!
Actually, it is rocket science.

If they were offering tea and sympathy, would it be A Quantum Of Solace?

Surely it would be 'an orbit'.

A CrinklyLion, A Kim, an Andrij and a Gerwinium; on the plaza of Euston station, with a copious supply of coffee and milkshakes, but with a sliver of sleep deprivation.

Nice to see you again.

crikey, i really ought to make the little sticker book of forumites spotted.  i'd have ticked loads off my list this weekend!

thurs
- tiermat, lindag and crusty in the pub
fri
- timo for coffee, then timo again for pancakes along with (tries to remember....) butterfly, clarion, charlotte, julian, phil, peewit, why1040, a tenth person whose name i didn't catch and i'm not sure if they are of this parish or not plus gattopardo post-critical mass but not joining us for pancakes.
sat
- kim, rower40, adrij and gerwinium, post-fnrtts at euston for coffee, cake and pastries then (over the rest of the day for, variously, tea/beer/gossip/more tea/nattering/curry/more tea/more nattering and general erudite smuttiness) wooly, peli, TT, adamski, pippa, charlotte (again), timo (again), zipperhead, wowbagger and gattopardo (again).  and several other people, but they told me real names so i assume not from here.

thanks all for a most excellent silly_bike_adventure_without_my_bike.

Not strictly speaking a forumite (unless he lurks quietly), but known to many on here, Sergeant Titus Halliwell of the Met's Cycle Task Force, in full cycling policeman gear (which I'd never seen him in before!) going along Pelham Street in the opposite direction to me, both of us trying to get around the traffic being caused by someone with a couple of vans parked very un-usefully.  He stopped briefly to chat, not realising that I work in South Ken, so surprised to see me around there!

I've been hoping to spot, or be spotted by, different members the last couple of weeks, since, instead of Tooting & Clapham, I've been riding through Streatham and Brixton.  This morning, I even wore my Clarion jersey, which anyone who has seen it can testify is quite, er, 'striking'.  But no :'(

I spotted you on Saturday  :thumbsup:  In fact I spotted you so intimately I even managed to eat some of your pudding (sorry about that  :-[  )

I noticed mention of The Stolen Crepe was absent from accounts of the evening.  I now know about you Essex pikeys! ;D

Indeed, we are completely shameless, if it isn't nailed down we'll eat it. I could post the photo of your crepe before I set about it but that would probably be cruel.
