that there citoyen in a dead poncey coffee shop, he looked right at home.

 

Good coffee, good company, what more can you ask for?

I’ve just been speaking on the phone to a gentleman who is delivering his professional services at one of our Birmingham Offices.

Yikes, that sounds dodgy!

Dodgy?  This is Giro Paul we're talking about.  "Dodgy" doesn't begin to describe it.

Too true! I did tell one of Basil's colleagues (I called whilst he was at lunch), that we both dressed up in funny clothes at weekends. She said that she understood that we had similar interests - I felt that sticking to assuming she was talking about cycling was the safest option 

Anywaysup - it was a pleasure to speak, and thanks for all the useful communications.

torslanda and family, on a flying visit to Interzen Towers to exchange some pictures of the Queen for load-bearing metalwork ...

And MrCharly has just left after picking up one of Aldi's finest cycle computers - no pictures of Her Maj changed hands, though

Blimey, two visitations in one day ...

Double forumite spot last night whilst out doing some laps of Richmond Park to test out the new BB and chain.

Firstly Sloth - I passed him on the hill up to Richmond Gate (not realising it was him) and he popped up beside me to say hello.

And then petemas - though I doubt he'll have spotted me - as I came down Broomfield Hill, I saw his silhouette (it was pitch dark by now) climbing up the hill.  Had I not been spinning like a loon with my lungs hanging out, I might have managed to shout "hello peter".

Cycleman and a friend came into the shop yesterday.

[clarion]

Did you upsell?

Did you upsell?

Worst. Punchline. Ever.

Did you upsell?

Well, currency did change hands.

Shop owner (an ICE pilot) engaged in lengthy coversation and was quite amazed at plans to wild camp.

Basil, doing a Lidl run as I was waiting at the lights having just emerged from Aldi.  He didn't seem too concerned that the shop was in the wrong place.

I've given up trying to remember which is which and what the difference is.
I tend to just call them one or the other randomly and assume that people know what I mean.
Theoretically, I should get it right about 50% of the time, but for some reason it's only 20 - 25%

On my way home this evening, down the Quarry Wood Road descent towards Marlow, Cycleman and his friend Jonathan on their way up.

I spotted Riggers today on the Bristol-Bath cycle path. Actually I think it was Riggers's dad - anyway a man in his 60s or 70s, looking wiry and leathery, sitting on a bench next to his rather nice road bike - smoking a pipe.

Not directly, but Mrs. Hall says she bumped into trickedem while out on a Tandem Club ride in deepest Kent today.

Can't remember his forum name but HK and I met Sam from the Dulwich Paragon in the middle of the Ghent velodrome.

I haven't been on the telly for ages, what was I doing?

Policeman on a bike came alongside me at the bottom of Haymarket tonight and complemented me on my YACF top.  I thought he meant the colour (almost hi-viz orange) but then he explained that he enjoys the forum.  So, whoever you are, don't know if you're "out" on here, so to speak, but hello anyway.
