    Brings back memories of 1986. Somehow managed to get up it on the Big Red
    Roockhooper, which experience has made me determined never to return without
    an engine...

    The tale was told by my friend Mr Sheen. Him and some of his hairy-arsed
    courier chums had been off playing on 'ampstead 'eaff on the mountain bikes,
    before repairing to the Pubbe. In the Gents of which resided a blackboard,
    complete with chalk, in order that the witticisms of the clientele might be
    recorded thereupon, rather than on the walls. And so it came to pass that
    various of them scrawled Stuff about the merits of their respective
    bicycles. And one chap, whose name I forget, wrote "Roockhoopers are
    beest". "We didn't know he was dsylexic until then" said Mr Sheen.

    Since which time I have been unable to think of my '86 Rockhopper as
    anything other than a Roockhooper. Even though it was kidnapped by thieving
    pikey lowlife scumbags in 1990. Oh, and it was red. And big.

    And then there was light and He thought it was good, so He threw the receipt
    away.
