This might get Guy up in arms enough to earn himself another Blackburn track
pump.

I passed him on the hill [;-)] just after I left you and Tim. Didn't see him
after that.

The letters page in next week's Comic is going to be full of aggrieved
missives from the "Flying Armchair" crowd.

Read it in Insainsbury's last night. I laughed till I stopped. Not. I'd
write back if thought it would
make any difference to a pack of reactionary, divisive, elitist pissroasts
like them but as the immortal D/S George Carter would have it: "Don't Guv,
'e's not worth it".

I think we'd do better to just sit in our comfy chairs and reflect on
how much better they are as seats than the saddles we're being laughed
at from...

The inventor Trevor Bayliss allegedly said:

"I don't mind people looking down on me as long as they don't expect me
to be looking up"

which I always thought would make a good sig for a recumbent rider.

We hope to hear him swear, we love to hear him squeak,
We like to see him biting fingers in his horny beak.

Grin. In that case, it hit it's mark.

I thought the main failing was that the picture of the bloke showed a clean
shaven man and as we all now, all male recumbant riders have beards.

Chill a little.

I think if we're going to make sweeping generalisations based on
stereotypes then use of the word "male" in there is completely surplus
to requirements. Whether one chooses to take that as no women would
ride recumbents of if they do they still have beards is left as an
exercise for the stereotyper... ;-)
