Yep it's true the spank BSO has gone, i suspect one of my regular victims followed me to work and destroyed it rather than suffer any further humiliation, which is understandable.
Last from Aug. last year until today not bad considering where i left it and the fact it was pretty much tied up with string.
Still one bike out one bike in yes?

Personally I blame JZed because he has my normal lock and i had to use a cheap thin substitute - i think he owes me a new bike dont you?Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Wow! I guess at that sort of speed all you need is a flux capacitor and you'll be leaving a trail of fire before you disappear back in time. Handy for commuting though, as you can get to work before you've left home.FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

Ah balls. Who'd knick that.
I'll agree to compensate you as follows:
1. 2 pints of ale for the spank (fair value)
2. Less 1 pint contributory negligence (failing to turn up at the Morpeth to recover the key).
3. Plus 1 additional pint of ale for usage of lock (which is residing at Morpeth)0 -
