Bloomin Punctures!



William. First day commuting by recumbent since - eek! - November 27th. Had that uneasiness that
always goes with the first run on a newly-rebuilt bike, but all seemed well, or did it? No, there's
something Not Right with the steering. No, can't be, it was OK on yesterday's test ride. No, it's
definitely feeling strange.

Arrive at the Nut Mines, find front tyre softer than a little squelchy thing. Bah!

By all means. When you have an irritating catchy tune stuck in your head, you need to remove it by
suction, and replace the tune with a pleasant aroma.

I suggest that you shake'n'vac and put the freshness back...

Actually, I find 'Axel F' can displace almost any tune. You have to be very careful to only think of
a bar or two however, because _nothing_ can shift Axel F when it's well embedded.

Oh thanks a lot Ian! All I've got now is, doo doo dop dee dee doo etc. going round my head and
visions of 80's hairstyles and dodgy suits with rolled up sleeves. So what's the cure for
that? Lobotomy?

Hmmm. Thank you. Yep, that's oscillating round my head now.

I always get a closed loop from

"Beanz meanz Heinz" or, from further back, Esso Blue.

Those advertisers know what they are doing.

You utter swine, Guy! Not only the ghastly tune but that awful woman with her glued-on smile - how
*could* you? <sobs uncontrollably>

Ah, that one goes over my head completely I'm afraid, thus leading me to suspect that I may be
slightly younger than you - however, since you were clearly trying to do the same thing as Guy, I
say "Thrrrrrrpt" unto you both :)

Wish I'd not read any of this thread.

Need to ride the bike to Doncaster train station tomorrow and thence to Bike Right 9 and a half and I've not had a p*n*t*r* since half an hour before Carol Hague sold me a Tioga Comp Pool at Spokesfest in July and I'm bound to have jinxed it now.

Dammit!

Useful for blocking out the mind-readers though... :)

"My sister Jane got married I had to wear a tie I didn't like the wedding And I can tell you why:
They wouldn't let me have Heinz beans I wish I hadn't come. If that's what getting married means, I
think I'll stay with Mum." <cue music> "Don't be mean with the beans, Mum, Beanz meanz Heinz"

Yes, there is a cycling link. I saw that endless times when I was about 6 or 7 because I had a
sprained ankle from falling off my bike and couldn't walk for a few days.

A colleague of mine often hums this without realising it. I then have to live with it going round
my head for the rest of the day.
