You blind twat. <fx: stern look at Xena disklock sitting on desk>
Indeed. Since reading under the bedclothes when seven IIRC. Currently cataract in one eye, implant in the other. Ah. Go on then, where was it?
and they let you out on the roads? sitting in the road, right up next to the pavement, about 3-4 bikes into the bike bay. Right outside All Bar One.
At a guess: "in the motorcycle bay on Chicheley Street right opposite the London Eye, outside Bar One"
Oh, I pass all the eye tests fine (with heavy correction). which is exactly where I looked. Some kind of associative malfunction in the cerebral cortex do you reckon?
well, it does resemble a large stainless steel stapler, rather than the smaller disklocks that are more common, but at the same time it was very visible - as I mentioned in another post, I could see it from the other side of the cross-roads, walking parallel to the bikebay. I suppose it's possible that when you looked a bike with a wide rear tyre might have been parked rearwards-to-the-pavement over the lock.
well, it does resemble a large stainless steel stapler, rather than You're being uncharacteristically charitable (in violation of the NG charter surely?) I didn't actually stop. I cruised past the bay at walking speed and then did a U-turn. There were around 8 bikes there at the time, but I still can't see how I could possibly have missed it *if* it was actually there at the time. <resists conspiracy theory, books appointment with quack>
No, it was written off about a year ago. I was waiting for an insurance claim to be sorted out following a collision when the local scrotes nicked it and hid it in the middle of 2 square miles of woods opposite my house. I'm now on a black CB500 with a full PowerBronze fairing doing the daily commute into W1. I'm probably due an MIB# but really CBA. Glad to see that your op didn't kill you, then.
