Forumite spotting

[jogler]

where/what is Toytown?

[clarion]

All I know is that the residents include Larry the Lamb and Mr Mayor

[LindaG]

The Legendary Mr Nesbitt.  In Costa.  In Toytown.

What a coincidence!

Toytown is where I live 

[jogler]

Towton perchance?

[clarion]

Costa in Towton?  It's tiny.

[jogler]

Dunno,just asking

[oncemore]

1gear on his Langdale at edge of Carlton (commuting to Gunthorpe?) this a.m.

He must be nearest to me from this place!

[clarion]

I read that as

Ah, yesterday morning, I was spotted again by darkpoint.  He always does the spotting because he's faster than me, and rides up behind.  I do think my CLARION jersey may be a bit of a give away, though

Nice chap.  Must meet up for a ride sometime.

[clarion]

Wearing a yacf jersey this morning, which meant that Chris L could easily spot me as he drew swiftly up with me.  We chatted through Clapham, till we came to a rise, where I let him ride rather than being a gentleman and keeping his pace down to mine fully loaded.

That Cliff Shrubb is really cool.

If it's a red one, then he and I had a chat about Carradice bags at the lights in Tooting the other evening.

[clarion]

It is.  He has a green Barley.  Looks very cool.

[Butterfly]

This evening we spotted Zipperhead. Or he spotted us. Something like that anyway . We rode in a convoy for a short while, which was nice .

[Zipperhead]

It was nice to see the 3 of you all looking so happy.

And we managed to spot some real hardcore bike porn. A lovely Robin Mather parked outside a pub in Red Lion Street. S+S couplings, Ti rack, lovely paintjob.

Oh, despite saying that I wasn't going into Bikefix, after going to the bookshop that I was headed for, I thought it would be silly to be so close and not go in (as I needed a couple of inner tubes anyway). I came out with a small item made by Carradice (Sue)

[CrinklyLion]

Well, on Friday I spotted and rode some miles with Kim, and MSeries, and Hulver (who actually spotted me first - I had my first ever 'You must be CrinklyLion!' called across the street.  Wonder if it was the big bag of cake that gave me away ).  And several others too, but I didn't manage to match up all the names to faces.  Very lovely it was to meet them all too.

And then yesterday I spotted Clarion, Butterfly and TGL at the York show, and will hopefully be spotting them again soon over the best veggie breakfast I've found in York....

[Butterfly]

And you certainly did . We really enjoyed that and it was lovely to see you again. Sorry we had to dash off a bit.

This weekend we also saw Jogler, Marg, Jethro, Luke, PH, Mr Nesbit, Tiermat, mr charly and Triceratops . And LeeW from elsewhere.

It was a brilliant weekend all round.

[jellied]

Pretty sure I spotted a Mr and Mrs Wealsy heading out Richmond park on a tandem early afternoon today.

[MSeries]

CrinklyLion, Luke, mr charly, Butterfly, clarion, marj, jogler, LanternRouge, hulver, Mr Bunbury, Adrian, PH , Kim longers and probably others

(new spots underlined)

[CrinklyLion]

And you certainly did . We really enjoyed that and it was lovely to see you again. Sorry we had to dash off a bit.

It is a good breakfast there, although the service was disticntly scruffy round the edges today - they're usually a lot more on the ball, and a bit more generous with the portions, than that.  In fairness they didn't actually charge for the breakfast that they missed off the order (and then brought along afterwards when I queried it).  And TGL seemed to approve of the CrinklyCub recommendation of sticky-toffee pudding  

And now I can add the (infeasibly youthful-looking) MrCharly to my 'spots' too.

[Charlotte]

Pretty sure I spotted a Mr and Mrs Wealsy heading out Richmond park on a tandem early afternoon today.

Yes, us too.  They'd just visited the SEEKRIT BUNKER for tea and a private viewing/test ride of the Brox.

Very nice, very nice.  I'll pop a couple of pictures up as soon as I've ordered and received my new 'guards and leatherised the bars.
