    At least we're not lowering our frames, installing underlighting, and injecting nitrous oxide in our legs. We do, however, have the lovely ladies. :)

    There's ladies in the car scene to, unfortunately I think the likes of Max Power mislead us into believing that they are all sexy bikini clad lovelies!
    Yes. What I meant to say was that we have the lovely ladies as well.

    No! I've asked my GF to pick a copy up, but I guess that's not the same as me seeing it.

    The London Paper is usually handed out after work though, surely?

    Hmm, I might go for a quick walkies.....it's rather quiet here and if I mention something about "going to look at a PC" I could disappear for 30 minutes or so :-)

    It can't be that hot if its been pushed back for some more interesting news, like some WAGs new hairstyle or some other such nonsense

    The Welsh Assembly Government with a new hairstyle? Surely not!

    No, I went straight for a picture of Rhodri Morgan, on account of his somewhat unruly hair. :oops:

    If any of you London types don't know who he is, I'd like you to write a letter to the BBC to complain that their news coverage from the nations is still atrocious, 'cause he's been the First Minister for Wales for the past eight years.

    I thought I'd seen a write up of the Game once before can't remember how long ago this was written but it pretty much sums up the SCR, could do more to explain the safety rules but anyways.

    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Why should we in London get news coverage of some remote province.

    We want relevant news such as what's happening on I'm a Celebrity or why John Sergeant has been kicked off (sorry resigned from) Strictly Come Dancing

    They could have had the courtesy to inform us diehards that they were going to do it. Not that they have to its their site (please don't ban me) but still a heads up on "we're about to make you famous" would have been nice!!!

    Either way thank you Bike Radar for the acknowledgement!!!

    I say "about bl00dy" time! I mean one of the sysadmins must be sitting there watching the SCR thread balloon and they've probably had to upgrade the servers just to cope with the extra load :-D

    Anyhow anybody up in town has approximately one hour (by my reckoning) before they can get their mits on a copy of The London Paper so I'll be expecting a report about 15:45 (the time I got back from my "break" on Friday)

    In the meantime I'm gonna check the website again.........

    Well I would've popped out onto Oxford Street to grab a copy by now only we've been told to stay in the building as the building two doors down is about to collapse!!!

    Everyone nearer to it has been evacuated,.....but not us...damn my luck!

    Can anyone else get a copy?
