    Apparently I've got to go for work drinks before my 8pm train so unfortunately I won't make it (I'm sure you're all gutted ;) ).

    For anyone that hasn't been there before, follow the signs up to the entrance to museum of London. Then you can't miss it.

    I booked a later train especially. Then my boss decided I had to go out and meet some people while I was down instead. Very inconsiderate.

    Made my train with seconds to spare. Sorry to miss it - next time.

    If anyone wants to go for Manchester drinks I would be keen! Problem with London is when I do go I usually have stuff organised.

    I was true to my word. Made myself very friendly to an under passing cyclist this morning :)

    Not quite the full arm, just a gentle hand on the back.

    A cyclist undertook you and you touched him/her?

    The question is what is the appropriate action if you are sitting at some traffic lights waiting to turn left, and a cyclist comes along and parks themselves in the gutter.

    FWIW The Dutch way would be to just cut them up...

    Ok Folks, it's time to talk about London Christmas Drinks.

    We haven't had a get together in a while... Here's a chance to have an end of season catch up and mull over the cycling state of affairs with a beer and pizza... everyone welcome!

    It'll be a weekday evening in a central London (City) location.

    Let me know who is interested and what dates might work in November/December.

    Would rather not November. Either on honeymoon or paying it off.

    Dec 1st I'm seeing Stewart Lee. 15th is Christmas Party (eugh - a bigger stamina test than any 100miler).

    I have a little bean on the way imminently so Dec is probably better. Can't do 6th, 13th or 15th...and I'm wondering if that takes out the 14th too.

    I know that feeling - the Christmas party that is, less so the 100 miler.

    Ah... was wondering when little bean was making an appearance! Fingers crossed...

    I can't do 8th or 16th.

    So options are 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 19, 20, 21, and then it stops being worth it...
