    Does it still fit your trim figure?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Oh, BOLLOCKS. MASSIVE BASTARD BOLLOCKS.

    I'm away. Folks are off to Spain and I was volunteered (happily, until now) for dog-sitting duty.

    Stupid furry b!tch, see how she mocks my misfortune...

    Ooooh I liked it until the guy started 'singing'... why this obsession with the yelling?

    And definitely go in tweed. Massive comedy value - you may start a new trend!

    I hope I don't Lit

    it's sludge, it's like doom but with throat ripping vocals... an offshoot of hardcore/punk

    Well I guess the upside is he won't be able to keep up the 'throat ripping' style for long!

    Good riffery though.

    And go on... wear the tweed. What are you afraid of? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

    Can we not run our own SCR tweed run? kinda a pre-tweed run, with many many pub stops?
    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.

    Tweed is ok to cycle in if you're going under 10mph above that it's a sweatfest
