Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon. Chatted with my pal at the Council about how he's going to spend the £1m we managed to wangle for new cycleways and footpaths around the town, so that was nice. Hope you put that on the expense account :wink: He bought me a pint :smile: . Seems a good deal on h...

Re: What are you reading now?
Yep, well remember it Kev. It was refreshing to see the German commandant and guards portrayed in a, for want of a better word, sympathetic way. Anthony Valentine was suitably chilling though! Strange to think the situation was only 80 years ago.

Re: How long does it take for your mat to lose pressure?
I fancy injecting a good old-fashioned BBB digression in here. I reckon the "lower temperature causes mat to deflate" story is similar to the "hot drink warms you up for bed" story. I'm not convinced by either. "Adding a hot liquid to your body does increase your body temper...

Mmm. Looks fun! But I have to say I'm not keen on the 'flowing' lines style-wise. Reminds me of the fashion for horrible formed S-shaped downtubes on MTBs, for example the nasty object below.

Two good points there I don't know of anyone or community volunteering for the ...
