I'll wear the baggy old Gong Ride shirt on Sunday. I should be able to fit five of the little suckers in without too many probs. Might need 3 elastic bands tho (to tie them together in pairs. Stops the ones on top jumping out!)

We could always pump them up and turn them into balloon dogs or summint. One or two mounted on my helmet. A balloon sword tied to my right thigh, and a long stemmed balloon flower rising up from the seat post tube....

Yeah, as long as you do that on your way home. Same time, same place? Oh, what do you think of Jolt gum? Chewy with caffeine? 2 pieces = 1 cuppa. I'm ordering some, thought I'd get an opinion. Yes, you'll get a sample if you're interested.

When you're on the last 20k from home, and need a little boost, you reach for a stubby?

No, I reach for my "brute strength willpower". Sadly I haven't seen the "brute strength" version stocked in any supermarket for about 3 years now, so I've had to resort to the "lacklustre" variant. It doesn't seem to do it for me.

mrwhite's avatar certainly is... controversial. The sig also confirms that the word actually is the "c" word.
I would have thought it was grounds for removal because of it could be offensive to others, especially females and minors. At least those on this forum have had to decency not to spell out the word.
Admin/mod on duty? Or blind? Or what?

Mod on duty but either Mr. White removed all the "offensive" bits
or I'm blind (it looks well, white to me, as in nothing there).
Glad you lot have got back onto something on topic like BEER otherwize
I was going to be forced to move this thread to the RECUMBENT forum or
some similiar banishment (I think winter cycling would be quite apropos).

Someone reported "mr white" and his signature/avatar and
it was removed by another mod (no not Koffee).
Avatar was first used by Neal Stephenson in his novel SNOWCRASH to describe
someones cyberspace appearance, similiar to Gibson coining the term "cyberspace" in his novel Neuromancer. I think Stephenson takes partial credit for coining that term (been a while since I read snowcrash).
interesting little sidenote, eh?
BEER forum? works for me. . . (no, not that watered down ***** that the sell to
ignorant seppos) give me a good Castle Lager, or Tiger, hell even a Fosters is better
than 90% of the american beers.

Oh I see....now that I know what an avatar is!
Were some folk a bit sad they weren't nominated for the "biggest loser who spends all their time on the web instead of actually riding or racing?" award?
Any of us get a mention? lol....
"Worst use of rhyming slang"
"Most pages dedicated to Test cricket"
"Longest meaningless thread"
"Most vitriolic responses to moronic polls"

Wish I knew...I would've voted for ya!
Also....what's a "blogsite" when it's at home? I'm learning all the time here!!

This is the very start of my blog. https://laneclosedracing.blogspot.com...ling-down.html
It meanders all over the place, but is mostly ride related carpola.
