    **** nose, but it got me home from Pro Twins as they were the nearest
    place that had a tyre in stock in the right size and were still open
    to fit this afternoon!

    Luckily I was on my way to a mate's house in Otford, just by Brands.
    I got into the village before his (the right turn just after the
    roundabout as you approach Brands!) and it felt wrong at the back -
    all squiggly, reluctant to turn and wallowy. As I ran over a drain
    cover I could read who made it through my backside and definitely
    knew that it was flat. Turns out something took a nice chunk out
    of the centre to reveal the belts! One phonecall later to said mate
    and he picks me up with his trailer and we eventually end up at
    Pro Twins, drooling over the 3 Desmosedicis in there.

    I now also know whether the £250 Ducati Motard jacket is waterproof
    or not (it's not) so I'm glad I got mine with 70% discount.

    So I had to scrub this one in pissing rain, not being able to see
    where the **** I was going while soaked.

    Remind me why we do this again?

    Your argument falls over in face of the M25, however.

    Since it was you that burdened us with that ... no, you bloody well
    cannot.
