Three words that always make me smile

Lidl are having one of their bike weeks - decent stuff dirt cheap, so if you need another pair of cleaty shoes or some shorts or base layers, pop in for a bargain.  And get lots of praline choc and eurosausage at the same time (I can't be the only one).

Me?  I spent all of twenty quid and have a shiny new bicycle. 

Well, half of one: a shiny new unicycle.  He needs assembly and a name.  The danger of reading Iain M Bank's Culture novels when you get a new bike is now becoming apparent: Rather than being called Eric or Boris or Lagavulin or Buckaroo, he's probably going to end up with a name like I Told You That Would Hurt.

Stop asking "can you actually ride a unicyle?" in the back there.  How hard can it be?  I've read the interwebs and everything.

So, um, am I still seeing you at the New Forest in September? Or are you intending to injure yourself out of it with an increasingly unlikely set of toys?

Bring it up next time you visit, you can have a laff at me on it...

It's much less far to fall than the pennyfakething :)

I'm trying to get hurt before Bath but so far doing a rotten job of it!
