    It'll be too late by then, the feeling will have passed.

    Thanks for the offer though.

  6. Climbing stuff
    Oh. Are you sure. Only I *might* have interfered with some stuff. If
    anyone checks the old 'it was like that when I found it' excuse comes
    into play. You know the one. Applies to race bikes, or so I've heard.
    For you old evil parent's sibling, almost anything. Just keep the
    werther's coming and no one gets hurt. Much. Unless you want me to
    hurt them of course.

  7. See, that's what happens when you're all loved up, you lose the
    strength in your hands.
    Better put a bulk order in for those choccie biccies.

    Well, let's leave it as is and see what happens. It'll be like a
    lottery.
    Easy, tigress. Bide your time.

    <passes Werther's> Not the sugar-free ones for you, I think.

    I've done that, yes I have. First ride on first road bike, first bike crash
    on the road, first insurance claim, first due care conviction, first proper
    facial scar. Good it was.

    Yeah, but there is the occasional fucker that noses out into traffic to
    try and persuade the oncoming to give way. Not had it happen to me, but
    have been in a car with someone doing it - most unnerving.

    well, yes - if I'm filtering past near-static traffic with sideroads
    either side, I'd probably only be doing 10-15mph.
    fair enough.
