The chest still hurts & I'm still coughing but I would go crazy if I didn't get out today!

CCBreckland had another 4-up training + tea & cakes, so the entire Unfit Family Simmons went over.
For me, it was the first time on the bike in a fortnight :(

Vernon, resplendent in his Lycra - except when he stuffs his jersey pockets on his rear with various
odds & ends and he takes on a new name of "Old Baboon Bottom" ;-) Nathan even joined in with the
cycling. Vernon & Nathan did the whole circuit but moi... eh, no. Not today. I probably did little
more than a mile and I was coughing my lungs up so I thought it advisable to stop whilst I could
still breathe :) At least I got out, even if only for a little while. If tomorrow is a pleasant day,
I'll give it another go - but again, just a little bit, I want to recover not kill myself!

Cheers, helen s

Someone once sent me a postcard someone with a picture of one of those big apes with the
multi-coloured faces. The caption said, 'If you think this is something, wait till you see my ****.'

Anyone hear this week's News Quiz? I thought it was the best for years.

Glad you enjoyed the ride, even if it was truncated.

Didn't I shall have to listen to it via the Net.

Oh! Forgot - first time out on my new saddle - Terry's Liberator TiLite complete with fart hole.
Exceedingly comfortable so far.

Wasn't that fantastic? I think what got her going was Sandy Toksvig's 'innocent' question as to
'whether there was that much difference between the erect and resting penis?' And whether anyone
would actually go into a shop and, knowing that condoms came in large, regular or trim sizes, ask
for trim? This had resonance for me. A few years ago the face of the child at the Boots checkout
made it clear that she wondered what business an old fart like me could possibly have with the pack
of 12 for the weekend nestling in my basket. As she peered at them, I said, 'these _are_ the large
size, aren't they?' Her reaction was worth the tight lips (ooerr, missus) on the matron behind me.

At last, a fellow 'puffer and cougher'. I was beginning to think I was the only one who suffered
after such a short distance - I don't feel so bad now. I can't match Vernon's 'spray-on rear' for
visual delight (I find baggies better at camouflaging my barrage balloon-like proportions) though my
new hi-viz bright orange/yellow fleece, a bargain on e-bay at a fiver, frightens wildlife and old
ladies. It's either that or my lime green hat with little aliens on - no one misses me when I'm on
my bike or rather I try to make sure they all do! At the present rate of progress I'll still be
breaking in my new Brooks Flyer when I'm 90 - just the thought of it makes my conkers twinge....
there must be an easier way. Ho hum, time for another slice of choccy sponge pud!

The wonders of live recording!!! Brilliant.

Worrying that 'cyclist' and 'Radio 4 listerner' seem congruent.

British propaganda always did have the benefit of subtlety and wit :)

Pity BBC insists on Real Audio streaming that doesn't allow you to download a file for later
listening plus R7 doesn't yet provide for time shifted listening in the same way as R4. Have to go
through the faff of streaming realtime while capturing into mp3 for later listening.

That's the big drawback, agreed -- yesterday I listened to a bunch of Radio 3 and 4, _none_ of it at
the actual broadcast time. I expect they'll get there on 7 eventually.
