If you'll be in the (pizza express?) anyway I might turn up. After a mandatory trip through CEX.

Hehehe! I somehow knew you'd understand. Plus, motorcycle tyres are only made a few thousand at a time, rather than <popular car> which will have a run of millions. On a bike though, I'll have a new tyre over a puncture repair every time. I value my life :D


There's other things too. Motorcycle tyres are designed to operate against the road around a much greater circumference of the tyre whereas car tyres effectively sit "flat" against the road. This does significantly change the build up and structural loads that the tyre has to cope with.

I've actually got a puncture on my bike's rear tyre, but it's a slow and I can cope by blowing the tyre up once a week. Plus I have a compressor in the garage so it only takes 30 seconds or so. Then it's hard enough to last a week before it needs re-inflating again. If it got any worse though, it'd be new tyre time.

So what about the blow-by-blow account, full of juicy gossip and scandal? I can't wait till the next OK magazine comes out to hear all about the second most exciting event of the winter calendar. Lazy twats.

I was there first, fresh from shopping for a presesnt for myself. I had intended to keep Wattsy company but he managed to get lost despite the fact that this is the 7th/8th time we've been there.

 

Edd was next and then Wattsy. Kos turned up after we had found a table at our usual spot.

 

Milko and Matt made an appearance later on and squeezed onto the table. Matt complained about the Organic Lager they had, even if the glass it was in did suit him.

 

Kos had a large sandwich and was shocked when the bar staff pointed out that it would come with salad. They didn't mention that it wouldn't be deep fried but I guess they thought he might take offense.
I also purchased some Nachos as tradition demanded but without Fozza there wasn't the usual feasting.

 

There was much celebrating of my beard, which lead Kos to name me Rasputin.

 

Milko and Matt left about the time the latecomers arrived (Paul and Helen, later joined by Martin). About this time Wattsy left although I can't be too sure as i'd had a few.
Dyl didn't turn up but EP did (in photo form).

 

The rest of the meet lies unremembered except for eating in KFC with Edd.
I then tried to get home but ended up on the Edgware branch. Once on the right line I got off at East Finchley and changed platforms and headed back into London!
Eventually got back to High Barnet and went to a mates where I tried my best to pay attention to Battlestar Galactica and then stayed the night.

 

The bonus was waking up without a hangover.
Then spent 20 minutes at home before heading to a mates and getting home at 11:30pm last night.

 

I think that covers it.

I didn't have a hangover, oddly too. I do have the photos, but I haven't uploaded them yet. I sent one to Milko on the wii, though.

Obvious highlight: the question of babies with two heads/three bodies

Many thanks to <whoever> for getting me there!

 

Although I do seem to be labouring over that pint....

 

My bad.

 

Oddly enough, I had no hangover either!

Almost certainly, I'd say.
