I went youth hostelling in the Dales when I was 16 on my Dawes racer. I met a doe-eyed doxie who was on a walking holiday. She got me into the bushes after supper on some pretext or other and went over her itinerary.
I broke a chain trying to get up that 1 in 5 at Malham Cove.
I hadn't realised Dawes had been manufacturing bicycles for so long.
My old man bought it for me. He gave me a blank cheque to go the shop with so natch I did a cash back deal and got £5 extra and in those days what you could get for £5 was nobody's business.
£5..00 I find that hard to believe Spedi, £5..00, I started work probably twenty or thirty years after those days and my gross weekly wage for 48 hours was only £1..11..9. ONE POUND ELEVEN SHILLINGS AND NINEPENCE.
I never saw a Five Pound note in years, they were very big and green in colour I seem to remember. I still have four ten shilling notes, red ones. Do you want to buy them for a thousand pounds each?
No thanks. I bought Hanson shares at about £3. It seems I have to decide whether to take my winnings or be a shareholder in a Eurocompany.
What would you do?

This clearly was a formative moment...
It certainly was. She's probably waddling around a big shop somewhere with two bags full of goodies now. I hope so.
I've backed Man U.

No he's not. And neither am I. And neither is your ex lover Segolene Royal. In fact we all have the blues.
Never mind Spendius, how much did you loose? Come on be honest..
I think it was worth it just to see the big smile on Jose's face.
(I fell asleep at half time, but awoke in time to see the end.)
well I'm happy for the dog
Spendipus probably lost 10p with some Cockney in his pub.
Ryan had a goal, no doubt about it, it was over the line. United were also the better team on the day. The game was very strategically played though and this did make it rather boring, most Cup Finals are played in this manner.
Not to worry, we won the Premiership and that is the Big Cherry!

yeah right M
Giggs either fouled or it was a goal
Ref did not give a foul...
oh dear. Just read the German bike going east joke again.
Sorry to all I offended...
but some Brits can be pretty offensive at times.
Thanks for the ariel photo of the factory Walter. Would you mind going 25 km ssw and telling them their customer in England is pleased with the product of German engineering, computer controlled welding of aluminium, and respect for the environment. Danke.
Don't worry my darling. Not you. You are about as offensive as a baba in a playpen having a tantrum when you're not smirking with delight because your dummy has been dipped in the syrup again.
Bets are mainly on 90 minutes, as mine was, so it was a non-issue.
Spendi, you are so naive and childlike, at times, I wonder if you're still attached to your mothers cord!
I wanted chelsea to win because they were wearing blue. I like blue more than red.
You must have wished upon a star PQ
How are you young 'un?
