    I tried a rollmop two years ago. I wish something had held me back. :evil:

    I must have deleted the reminders for this thread. And now I find it's still going.

    I'd like to say I've missed it.

    But I haven't!

    I have posted on another thread about a workshy t wunt sounding just like my ex. :?

    I had a thought in the middle of the night.

    Checked the user name on another bike site and it would appear it IS my ex - although he's being remarkably candid on this forum.

    Don't be shy, out him. :D
    And yourself.

    Did no one yet mention 'stalker' ...whoops, must've been me. :wink:

    Nah, not stalking him at all. Came on here because I thought he didn't use this forum. I'm not on others because he is - I can't decide if it's etiquette or just not being able to 'take' some of the fantasy world he inhabits. I didn't add up the Username with him, immediately - and he's clearly not on here a lot.

    What he's saying on here is a lot closer to reality than in other places. So, in answer to other comments, what I do know is:

    Yes, he's remarrying.
    He is (was?) overweight.
    I can't exactly 'out' him, can I? - The user name is the same here as on other sites he inhabits and one of them has usage statistics which would bear out what he's claiming he's up to here
    I don't know where he's employed - we don't have a lot of contact, we're divorced, see?

    That's the chap. Sorry, had thought that was obvious.

    I ride a Cirrus, as well as other things, hence my monicker.

    I feel that the mundane purity of this thread is being compromised.

    I feel that's a profound observation and should, therefore, be removed.

    OK - to balance things a bit.

    I heard an old lady saying 'Cheerio' yesterday which made me try to remember last time I'd heard someone saying it - probably in a period film set during WW2.

    It also reminded me of my grandmother who always used to say it.

    I wondered if anyone under 60 ever says it?

    I noticed (someyears back) that in Embra people used to say cheer-o.

    If not, I think it's a trend we should start.. 8) See if it catches on.

    I sometimes say it but then again I say 'chaps' quite a lot too.

    I might not - people think I'm odd enough already.

    I use 'chaps' a lot, so perhaps 'cheerio' is a natural progression for me? :?

    Not sure what's so bad about being considered a little eccentric, btw. :wink:

    I've just had my hair cut. It's now shorter and neater than it was previously.

    I'm planning a hair cut in March. I haven't had one since November 2008 and its starting to get quite long.

    I tried 3 hairdressers and they were all closed, so I bought some clippers, I now feel the cold more.

    That depends on the quantity of haircuts you get from them, in proportion to the cost of said haircuts at the barbers.

    I must get my clippers out tomorrow - I popped into the supermarket this afternoon and noticed that the cashier looked at my hair before looking at me. I think it's the combination of a skull cap and a helmet that makes it stick up in the middle à la mini-mohican.

    I had some clippers break on me half way through clipping my hair (no. 2 all over).
