If its comfy keep using it.

Yes. The true indicator is when the seat post enters your body orifices unimpeded. This may or may
not be pleasurable, I'm not adventurous enough to find out.

It's not pleasurable at all - not even when wearing the talc that Helen both erroneously and
deludedly believes I swear at.

I've had the nasty experience of having a gel saddle (spit) fall apart on me. I've also had to ride
a few hundred yards without any saddle at all.

No, Peter, neither experience was pleasurable: not one little bit.

LOL

It's not even slightly worn, it just needs breaking in. A bit of lard will help. (Not being in my
school year this reference to lard may be lost on you, Smudger. Still, do you remember the 'tossing
in the blanket sketch' at the Eisteddfod? Was it Tim Harrington?)

Now then, now then, James - *you* said you swear by talc. I just expanded on the image a bit 🙂

I did swear at it this morning when I dropped it in the bath. But, Helen, was I being unfair? Should
I have instead sworn at the water, myself or even those Johnson's babies?

Well I suppose it depends on one's personal preferences as to whether or not it would be found
pleasurable ;-)

It's probably a Northern thing! Whoops! I'm from oop there too. (No, not up there.)

Edmund: Er, yes, well, well, I hope you had a pleasant inheritance ... Did I say `inheritance'? I
meant `journey'. [motions around the table] If you'd just like to help yourself to a legacy -- er,
a chair...

Aunt: `Chair'? You have chairs in your house?

Edmund: Oh, yes.

Aunt: [slaps him twice] Wicked child!!! Chairs are an invention of Satan! In our house, Nathaniel
sits on a spike!

Edmund: ...and yourself...?

Aunt: I sit on Nathaniel -- two spikes would be an extravagance.
