There or thereabouts! I generally try to get there at 6pm, and others probably will too, so 6:30 would be fine.0 -

What an idiot I am.
Chain a bit noisy, while cleaning see bent link. Pop off the bent one, grab a replacement. Ah, where was that replacement. Oh, I don't have one. Can I force the old one back in for a day? Can I bollocks. Can't shorten it, don't have a replacement, Morpeth sans bike tomorrow :evil: :evil:0 -
