....We're looking for a significant event to mention on our corporate Xmas card (to go out to clients etc). It features a run down of significant events throughout the year and we're stuck on October.... Anything will do...

    Thanks. I just sent that round the office. It has sparked a lot of conversation. I heard someone ask "who is Nana Mouskouri?", the pliosaur thing turned into a little debate over evolution vs creationism and a couple of people started to do the Thriller dance. Good value....

    Wasn't October the month Jenson Button clinched the F1 drivers title?
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    It's considered poor form going round popping other people's cherries for them... Very poor form indeed.

    (Actually - it's a bit rapey...!)

    I popped an ex girlfriends cherry, exactly the same time she popped mine.

    First and only cherry I ever popped.
