The target on my back just got bigger!

edited August 2008 in Commuting chat
After my comment earier today that I was still dithering on the shavey question, I finally took the plunge.

With a little help from Mrs Attica - well she laughed, I grimaced. I took it all off with the epilator. Bl0ody heck, that stung a bit.
I'm told that I'll be smooth as a laydee for about the next three weeks.

All I need do now is drag on a TdF shirt and forego the helmet for the cap at the back of my kit drawer and I'll be an FCN 0. To be honest I'll probably keep the helmet though.

Tomorrow morning the target on my back will be so big it'll be acting as a sail.

right, I'm off to change my sig and get a good nights sleep so I can be fresh for the morning, I'm gonna need to fly like the wind now.

    perfectly normal behaviour

    Move along please.

    Now then are you also considering getting a tandem?

    Why? What was wrong with a razor?

    Seriously......... waxing hurts less than those things... OUCH!

    Well the wee wifey uses one, so - not to be outdone - I kind of had to.
    That and the fact that I was calling her bluff big style as she scoffed when I suggested it.

    Greg, a tandem what a great idea, and I'd be delighted to be seen out promenading with you, do you want to go in front or behind?

    A grown man sharing de-hairification techniques with a burd who pushes a mahoosive gear. It's a crazy topsy turvy world we live in and no mistake.

    As for your kind offer to share your tandem Atts consider me in.

    I will of course take a position behind you but occasionally I'll reach around to ring your bell.

    GT.

    Stop it, I've just guffawed a load of tea all over my monitor!
    Just a thought, but where would a tandem sit in the food chain? on the flat we could collect us some serious scalps.

    You ring my bell GT, I'll keep pumping away at our synchronised rings.

    Tight shorts - Check

    Close attention to depliation - Check (cough)

    Fascination with other men's Physiques - Check

    Tight buns - check

    Wearing a jersy one size too small so you get a "snug" fit over your arms - Check.

    It is aint Broke Crank Mountain (top level punning by the way) it's certainly 300 (teeth on LITs crank)

    I'm frankly not that interested in watching you reach round to tweak another mans bell while discussing you ring enlargment with someone behind you

    that's not why the british boozer was invented

    Worry not CP, I'll not be able to get there until about 11.30 - that's assuming I don't stop all the way. Perhaps that's a bit ambitious!

    Have a great night you lot, drink safely, ride safer, looking forward to meeting you all one day.
