picture of cycling kids on the front. Can anyone see
what's missing? And the contents don't have any misguided

Cycling on the pavement too. "That'll be a £30 on the spot
fine miss"

It should be an imprisonable offence to have bar ends fixed
at that angle. And to have purple-anodised anything. This
isn't 1991, you know.

Speaking of Myra... anyone know how she's doing these
days? The offspring must be growing up fast. I hope she
& the family are well.

She and Ellen are apparently well and Myra is trying to
get back to cycling although the bikes are apparently
gathering a little dust. Hoping to go on a Sunday club run
with her in the next weekend or so for a catch up.

Tell her that if she gets back to riding soo, as a reward
she can have a pair of purple anodised straddle cable
hangers that I turned up in my bits box a few weekends back.

I've never left cycling, in the sense that I ride to work
every day and do most of my running around by bike,
including dropping Ellen off and picking her up from the
childminders by bike. I do about 30 miles/week this way.

But I'm trying to get back into longer, recreational rides,
and have dusted off the Airnimal for rides with a local
cycling club (only lightweight bike I have!)

I have sold my bike with all the purple bits, so I'm afraid
they wouldn't be too much use now!

I'll need the victim's name, they must be the last person in
the world with purple anodised bits on their bike, and who
else can I offload the damn things on? :-)

Do you have any matching canti brakes? I might be interested
as part of a challenge to make either a super-cool or
offensively coloured bike.

I don't think I ever had the brakes, but I do have a set of
canti brake levers to match :-)

It's a quote from a cartoon show I once saw on french
cartoon network. ("Tiens" can mean other things, like "look"
or "check it out" etc.) So it's more like "Hey! That chicken
has a grenade!"

In the cartoon, the chicken was running very fast, carrying
a grenade. It was a roast chicken.

My other favourite line was Death saying "Le desolation,
c'est moi!" and the little girl stepping into the frame and
replying "Tu reve!"

I hope this helps, but doubt greatly that it will :-)

My favourite French phrase is from a Young Gods song and is
"Un jour je n'y crois plus, je le mettrai dans le cul".

Which roughly translates as "The day I stop believing, I'll
stick it up my a*se".

Not terribly useful unless you're Piers Morgan trying to
think of something witty to say when the Mirror Newspapers
Board have just sacked you for publishing porky-pies.
