    and for very obvious reasons the Engalnd rugby top has been banished from the cycling gear pile to the diy around the house pile :D

    Yes - I am sure that it has suffered the same fate as many England rugby and football shirts.....I believe that there is now a surplus of Man City 'Tevez' shirts in the plastering trade....

    White lycra is the way forward due to visibility. People can (*ahem*) see you better in them...

    Now all we need is Wiggle to stop putting "Wiggle" on the bloody box!

    Even my son's school tutor (my son's still at home after cancer treatment before you think I'm loaded) has noticed the number of Wiggle deliveries (and has become a Wiggle devotee himself - though upset by lack of Haribo).

    I'm sure they sell more stuff if they put something random on there (Lawn Mower Parts Warehouse, Gutter Leaf Removal Centre and so on...)

    The missus received her first Wiggle box last week. She was very pleased with the free Haribo. Essentially Haribo is Wiggle's gateway drug.

    The Haribo provide an instant on-hand bribe to the kids not to let their mum know another Wiggle box has arrived. Trouble is, they now expect it - and Wiggle aren't the most reliable in their Haribo largesse...

    The women in my office made me do a little parade in my lycra tights today!

    Not sure what to make of that.

    If you'd asked me to wear lycra 6 months ago, I would have just laughed, now I have 3 tights and 2 shorts.

    And you commute on a hybrid. Just think what they'd get up to if you commuted on a man's bike :twisted:

    They would probably have stripped off, gone down on all fours and asked me to park it...

    No doubt.

    Made you. Yeah right. I expect they also made you do the coquettish 'shy smile over the shoulder' look too whilst pressing your finger to your mouth, and the 'bent over looking backwards past your left kneecap' later on. Probably.

    Made you. Pffft. :wink:

    you seem very familiar with this pose.

    You do any others?

    No, they didn't get me to do that. I did a little dance and then got embarrassed.

    Right on all counts. When you have children, making a fool of yourself becomes fun.

    To my amazement they said I looked good.

    In my first job whenever I used to make a cup of tea a 'older lady' (20yrs older) colleague would come into the tea room grab hold of my bum and have a conversation with me while doing it...

    I definitely get smiled at more when wearing lycra rather than baggies.

    Just down the right leg, it sometimes gets caught behind my kneecap which is a pain tho'.

    If you're still loved up on Ibiza happy pills then perhaps let's not meet up in RP just yet mate...

    There is no avoiding it is there.

    Fact is everyone who wears lycra is a little bit of an exhibitionist.

    Not during rutting season anyway...

    I did head down to Playa d'en Bossa and I instantly started feeling like I was getting mashed. Just that amphetamine atmosphere, shabby clubs, banging tech-house on speakers that cant handle it... started getting flashbacks to darker days. Jumped in a cab and headed back to our hotel.

    Thought I still had a bit of the old raver left in me but alas not.

    Unfortunately I still have. I couldn't go back to Ibiza without doing a coup,e of club nights. The beach at Playa d'en Bossa is a bit mad too, midday and everyone off their tits. Mind you, you probably saved yourself several hundred quid by not doing.

    Hope you enjoyed it.

    We stayed in a 5* place near Escana so were just chilling up the top of the island. It was great though - even without the happy pills.

    Haha.

    This thread has descended into chaos. From someone's first commute, to posing in lycra, to dancing (in said lycra) for colleagues, to an encounter with a latter day Mrs Robinson, and now raving!

    Sparks must think we're all weird!

    Here's a thought......we don't complain about it. And why would we? :wink:

    Try role reversal though................
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
