    Glad Midsommar

    :D
    Midsummer's not until the 21st!

    Must remember to ring dad and wish him a happy father's day while I'm at it... if I can catch them before the midsummer boozing begins...

    Oh, and I spelt it wrong - 'fittstim'

    Mind you, when did you last see amusing English swear words in proper dictionaries?!

    it is Midsommar today so your dad will have a thick head tomorrow.

    How do i know< it is a red day and i have been drinking since early and i have not been to work.

    I find if hard to comprehend that Mid Summer is the 21st but ....

    And there was me thinking that I was in the Daily Mail reading sensible hybrid riding world of genteel Edinburgh cycling. I went into the town centre today at rush hour, got called a “F#####n’ W’nk’r” by a taxi driver, almost knocked off by a fixie riding student. This fired up my anger. :x

    I had been thinking of buying a Giant 2009 TCR Advanced 2 in the Bike Co-op sale, but common sense prevailed. Instead I sold my kids 2nd bike trailer, and decided to wait until next year to upgrade my road bike. Meanwhile I do most of my miles on Edinburgh Bicycle Courier (it has rack and mudguards).

    When sworn at by taxi drivers (for exisitng) and almost hit by dozy posers the idea of sharpening pitchforks, or even better tying pitchforks onto the bars of my sensible commuter steed makes me happy. Still tomorrow I can burn off some energy and stress trying to keep up with the second (or even on a bad day, the third) eleven peloton on the club run. I’m sure some driver will take exception to a group holding them up for 4 nanoseconds. There is reassurence in being part of the peloton. :?

    I've read pages 4,3 and 2 (wierdly in that order) and this thread makes no sense to me.

    What is it about?
    Food Chain number = 4

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    It's like a tick farm, like a sea horse, like a graveyard, like a moron, like
    a girlfriend, like a tissue, like a cupboard, like a brick wall, like a dream,
    waiting to be

    I hope this clears up any confusion

    DDD, read the first post on page 1. I find this is a good general strategy with any thread.
