  1. Howdy doody

    I'm doing the west highland way this weekend. I've got a 1982 Raleigh
    Grifter and I want to know if I should go in Blue gear or Yellow gear?

    thank
    Gal.

    Whatever gear you want. Bear in mind that the harder the gear the faster you
    get there..

    Personally I prefer purple..

    Are you both stupid? There is only blue gear, yellow gear and red gear. You
    obviously don't know what you are talking about. The only other setting is
    the silver bit between yellow and red but that usually results in sore nads.

    thank
    Gal.

    There is also rain gear, the two-foot gear, and cycling gear. At least three
    of which can be purple. There is also another sort of gear (I am reliably
    informed by an aquaintance familiar with London vernacular) pertaining to
    substances that make ones day somewhat purple in appearance.

    Look, I know you probably think you are helping, but you are clearly
    thinking of a different cycle. If you don't know your bikes, I suggest you
    keep your ridiculous advice for people who aren't as clued up on cycling as
    myself. You are making a complete fool of yourself.

    thank
    Gal.

    LOL! Richard Gere! That was an excellent play on words! His name is Richard
    Gere, which sounds like Gear. You were suggesting that Richard could be a
    gear on a bike. You're a funny, funny man.

    All hilarity aside though. Can anyone tell me? Blue or Yellow?

    thank
    Gal.

    You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He
    never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you.

    I did. You don't have to leave the other ones behind. You can choose
    whichever you want, whenever you want.

    Grifters were *soo* cool when I was ten.

    Surely this problem is easy to remedy with a judicious application of a
    suitably coloured touch up paint? Nail varnish may also work.

    Retailed by J*r*m* Cl*rks*n: at a party one day he introduced himself
    to a bevy of cuties with the line "Hi, I'm Jeremy, I do Top Gear" The
    response, allegedly, was: "No thanks, love, we don't do that stuff."

    Although it might have been "we're sorted".

    Or something.

    Which reminds me, for no particular reason but in a free-association kind
    of way, of a story John Peel told which goes very roughly thus:

    __
    I was at a big BBC dinner, the sort of thing where you find yourself
    sitting between Zoe Ball and P.D.James, and I turned to the bloke
    opposite me and said:
    "Hello, I don't think we've met. I'm John Peel."
    "Actually, we were introduced five minutes ago. I'm John Birt."

    Difficult to recover from, that sort of thing...
