    If I'd bothered to collect them all, I could have had my very own squirrel army by now. Other than that pretty much nothing at all.
  • I found a huge dead beaver last week. As big as a pig it was. Other than that nothing, if you find my mobile can you get it back to me. And my Altura mitts.

    dead animals, dead cars, lots of glass, a few branches, nothing of huge interest so far.
  • I get worried on the return journey of my commute because I know on the way in I have spotted 2 dead squirrels and one giant dead badger. But on the way back in the dark, can I remember where they were?
  • three badgers and a can of baked beans. in that order.

    hang on womble. the mere fact that you spotted all this stuff in the first place suggests you're riding far too slowly...

    try harder!

    by the way, the porn is mine and i want it back, Gary R.
    Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.
  • Worryingly an awful large number of wheel nuts. Probably explains some of the dodgy driving!

    it's been noted elsewhere (by the great Tony Bell IIRC) that the jiz mag quota has dropped significantly since the rise of internet porn.

    On my commute I've foind numerous single workmans gloves, half a Richty crank with its Look pedal still attached (someone had a bad day!) and a drunk asleep in the middle of the road.

    Oddest thing I found not commuting was a simply HUGE bra, each cup easily capable of swallowing a watermelon :shock:

    A couple of weeks ago, a Shimano XT QR skewer!
    A few months ago, a large fish on the A233 in Kent.

    All i ever find is bits of glass stuck in my tires, i have to routinely inspect my tires afer each commute to try and avoid a puncture, glass tends to get stuck in, but if caught early enough can be removed before it gets chance to work itself in.
