I love curleywurleys

Sir Alan puzzles me a bit: on the one hand, he seems a decent chap, but on the other hand, he insists on being referred to as "Sir". That Sir business raises my hackles.

I store mine in the lobby of my flats (locked of course). A few other people keep theirs there too.

I really like cycling now; before I didn't get much exercise so I was quite unfit, but within weeks I could feel an improvement in my stamina - useful when you're going uphill. Jouri, you're much better equipped than me now

Seconded. Pack it in!

I got a nice bike last year for 250quid. I don't wear a helmet because I've read results of tests that have found that they don't really protect against anything but the gentlest fall.

As for experiences: most of the time I have no problems. If you obey lights all the time (and don't zip through them like those idiots in fluorescent cycling shorts), you shouldn't get into danger. The most common problem is cars not slowing down at junctions, or going through red lights, but these are a minority. Most days everythings fine.

Buy a raincoat, though

Hooray!

Feel a bit old now though

It's hard to find healthy food on our campus. The choice is between a fish and chip shop or one of those expensive coffee shops where they only sell muffins and paninis. Or a vending machine full of crisps. If you don't bring fruit with you, you're stuck.

Yup. Blame the Thatcher era! That's why the Post Office is going down the pan too: Leicester no longer even has a main post office, because it didn't make enough profit - what happened to public service?

Thanks Bobby; I did a You Tube search and it seems that the whole series is on there. I'll do some work first (yeah, right) and have a look.

I'll sign up; shall we make a Scouts' Honour agreement? I will only eat crap on 1, 2, 3...or 7 days a week

I know. British Gas posted record profits for last year: presumably by bleeding the likes of me dry

My barometer trousers give me a muffin top when I've been overdoing it. Not a great look

I missed it! Bugger. Is it online?
