    you've all read the thread from the start, right?

    I've got the funnel.

    Can you bring the hose?

    And some disinfectant? IP usually has those surgical gloves on him, so we're ok there.

    I've run out of gloves - so many new faces recently. I'll bring the industrial lube and the MTFU Tongue Shieldstm.

    Darn it, having been to business travel to Seattle, Paris & Prague these past three weeks, I'm keen to tuck into some proper pints. Alas, I'm having a rest day at home coz I'm 'fing knackered.

    Looks like a good SCR crowd assembling of an evening....there is an outside a chance I'll need to be in the office this arvo. If this is the case, then, I'll drop by for cheeky one or two...as I haven't been on the bike for a good week and half and have probably put a stone or so...I would be a sitting duck for scalps on the Embankment, the Millbank Wind Tunnel (MWT tm) would be my undoing and would end up heaving my sorry arse over the threshold to the Morpeth.

    Hehehe. Everyone is welcome. Though the ride there can be one of the more anxious you'll do. No one wants to get scalped en route by a fellow Morpether.

    Best bet: leave work, engage warp 9.975, engage brakes at Morpeth front door.

    Hmm...suddenly the ridiculously convoluted route through the side streets via St. James' Park and slipping in through the back sounds more appealing... :)

    Don't worry about bikes being taken the p*ss out of, I'll be on my hybrid so that should deflect some attention. Selfless, me...

    Look just because some of us (me) leave the house when some (you) are just getting into bed doesn't make me a Jessy! just means I'm well 'ard - nails me!

    although those 5-6 pints of G&T yesterday have slightly taken the edge off my usual Friday bubble, still only a couple more hours and it'll be beer Friday.

    mmmm beer :D

    Jon could fix it, but the parts'll take three weeks to come through and in honesty you'd be better off with a new bike. Let him just get you a quote for that.
