    Maybe you could find that bloke who attacked your bike/helmet last time at the Morpeth and vomit on him...

    Might be tempted to show off my bike now I know I can keep it in the warm but riding in London rush hour doesn't appeal. I know in practice it isn't much different to Brizzle but there is a lot more buses/cabs/suicidal peds.

    Awesome! Bagsy first go at the Prince!

    Disclaimer: I have had to hose vomit off one of my old bikes, and my bike shoes. I don't recommend the whole vomit + bike thing.[/quote]

    Oi! Anyway Il Principe will be safely tucked up at home well away from you yobbos. Besides, being Italian - Il Principe takes a rather dim view of pub curry, or indeed any curry for that matter.

    Didn't Pizza Hut or Dominoes bring out some kind of curry pizza? Oh, hang on, *Italian*....

    Well, I did mention that to her, she said that we can chain them to the railings or take them up to the room. Mine for one will be chained to the railings.

    And being Italian, I can ask what on earth are you talking about! Curry is fantastic! I once had a curry pizza in Rome.

    erm, that's not lunch. I'm not even sure that qualifies as food, especially tofu.

    No, seriously, deep fried tofu is divine. Crispy, spicy tofu is my favourite dish at my local Malaysian.

    I might have to get a chinese for dinner.

    Not tofu though. I refuse to believe that it's nice, and I have tried it several times. My mother used to eat a lot of it before she decided it was very processed and therefore unhealthy.

    You should tell your mother that cooking is a form of processing, and then present her with some complimentary carrots (the peeling or washing of which would also be a form of processing).

    Tofu is particularly nice when mixed with bits of bacon and chicken.

    I have work to do. Stop bothering me.

    Sacrilege it maybe, but I'm not a die-hard Italian purist, and I think pineapple is the most important thing on a pizza.

    Having bought a pineapple, I think I'll make a pizza tonight. Or maybe an omelette instead.

    I seem to remember that there was a suggestion way back when that there should be a secret Santa with a £10 limit.

    Anyone still have an interest in that?

    And what are we doing about paying? Cheques to LiT or pay on the night in cash?
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    I think SS was canceled as we're having to pay for the room now.
    As for paying I was thinking in cash on night but I guess that depends on if the room has already been booked and paid for!

    LiT!! You need to set Ruby up a BR account :-)

    Cheques!? What is a cheque. Lol.

    Do we have to pay for the room hire as well? If so how much and how much is the food coming to?

    Normally tact and subtle would be the way forward but I've just seen my mobile bill (damn girlfriend) and the comic book shop has just phoned to tell me that I have at least 50comics (at an average of £3 a book) waiting to be collected - yes that's a month and a bit reading list..... and together the two add up to nearly the same amount as my bike... :shock:

    You think that's bad?

    MrsG66 told me that the kids need bike lights as it's pretty dark now when they ride home from school. Can't wait for Xmas, obviously, as it gets worse from now to then.

    So off I trot to Condor (that well-known Netto of the LBS world) and stand in front of the lights for 15 mins.

    "Hmm. Should I buy that? Seems expensive. But should I really be making economies over my kids' safety?"

    £78 :shock: - I kid you not - seventy eight :shock: :shock: of Her Majesty's folding pounds later :shock: :shock: :shock: - I leave the shop with a bag of lights.

    :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

    it's your kids safety you pikey get :lol: ...

    In all seriousness yes that's a lot but that's 2 sets yeah? I reckon within a week one will go missing... you might want to set up a standing order :lol:


    Anyway I'm planning on consuming a viciously healthy amount of beer on Friday so you guys might get scalped by the brompton on your way to the pub... that's fair warning I think.
