Bloody hell I almost lost my mind, at one point I thought I was going to have to talk to the family.

    I spoke cycling speak to the missus - she is now so truly bored of recollections of different bikes, different incidents, new buys, statistics, planned jaunts - thats she's gone on holiday - so since then I've talked to myself (despite funny looks from colleagues) - nearly contemplated having a look at other forums - and then realised BR is back in action.

    I took to hanging around in bike shops, pestering potential customers with unwanted advice and occasionally ranting about Hybrids or 'Devil bikes'...

    I realised how much work I could get done. I'm on for a promotion!

    We should have a meeting point just in case this happens again

    You know like when you were a kid and your mum said to go to the cigarette kiosk if you got separated in Tescos

    Ok,that may have just been me.

    I spent most of the week coveting carbon frames that I couldn't afford Once that got to be too much I spent a couple of days researching and writing an article on newspaper paywalls effects on link acquisition /geek

    After all of that I went on a domain name buying spree - thanks to the forum going down I'm now £600 lighter and I could have put all of that towards buying a new frame anayway :oops:

    Golf, strangling small animals and masturbation.

    I know I may offend some people.... golf not being very popular 'round here.
