  1. I went to the Brommie shop to find out when the bike will be in.
    Sapristi! There it was, SON and everything, they were about to call!

    Fold - unfold - fold - unfold. Does the novelty ever wear off? I do
    hope not!

    LOL! Never too old to have some more childhood. 🙂 I'm chuffed for you!

    My new wheel (DA16 rim + SON) and B&M DIWA lights should be here in a week
    or two, so I'm enjoying the anticipation.

    After a time you start thinking Brompton should pay your commission for
    the business you are generating.

    Own a Brompton and make friends!

    Just about every time I take out my Brompton I end up having pleasant
    conversations with complete strangers about how amazing it is.

    Enjoy these too!

    This posting just oozes smugness.

    My resolve is already pretty low due to sitting next to a smug [censored]
    at work who brings one into the office. He always makes a point of
    slowly sliding it under his desk while looking at me, smirking and
    raising his eyebrows slightly. Quite often it won't sit quite right so
    he'll repeat the process. I hate him.

    There's one simple way to deal with his smugness. Get a B and get one
    of the new ones, the more titanium bits the better. Now see who's smug
    and who hates whom. You know it makes sense ;-)

    Did I mention I have a B?

    Take a proper bike to work and burn him off on the way home >:-)

    Oh yes. Did I mention I went to collect the car from the garage on
    it? A very nice young lady in a sporty little white number (and the
    car, too) was most taken with it. And opined that, judging by my
    legs, it must keep me fit...

    Smug enough yet? ;-)

    I get the impression that the only reason you "need" a car is to justify
    buying a Brommie for when you drop off and collect the car.

    Yes they are very nice indeed! I think this bloke must own one!

    I expect you asked her to smoke you a kipper? You smug, self-satisfied

    That's good. I thought I might not have mentioned I have a B but now
    you've confirmed that I mentioned I have a B I don't need to mention
    that I have a B ;-)
