the kilt is worn mostly for special occasions. (like impressing a lass, or not).
Too many deer ticks around for everyday use,

Now RJ, you should maybe try wearing a kilt...the way the Scottish intended.

I wore one once at the Highland games. Don't know if anyone was impressed or not.
How do you pronounce your name, Sian? |

I think it takes a good pair of legs whilst wearing a kilt to impress the gals.
Oh, and I imagine Sian pronounces her name as Sian :D

*sneaks back in*
*whispers to RJ* Sian is a Welsh name, so it's pronounced as written. 'Si' is pronounced 'sh', the rest like English sounds...

Hi Jabberwok,
Good to hear from my good friend again. As for my Organic restaurant, it has been up and running for a few years now. My customers are real health nuts and prefer their alfalfa bailed and raw but thanks for the recipes just the same.
I just put up my 30,000 bail so I really don't want to talk about alfalfa, if you don't mind.
Tell me some more about your wild and crazy bike rides. I would never has guessed, but England is the home of Lady Godiva the infamous chocolate heiress. |

I was brought up army, so anything that didn't fit into a suitcase wasn't allowed. I thought it was an army rule, turns out it was just my mother's. However, I never owned or learned to ride a bike as a child.
Then I went to Oxford. City of a million bikes.
I got one and wobbled my way around the city. The major downside was that drivers assumed I wibbled due to excessive alcohol, so would lean out and yell rude and insulting comments. The upside was I could go to many, many parties and ride home full of Dutch courage and straight as an arrow.
About two weeks into owning a bike, and fuelled purely by lust, I agreed to go on a weekend tour of the Cotswolds.
85% of the hills go up and only 15% go down. How was I supposed to know that he was an obsessive athlete? Even my admiration for the view didn't enable me to keep up, and we peddled around 20 miles a day for three days. I was stunned to have survived it and never went near an Oriel man again.
I don't think I need a blog of my own. I'll just hijack yours when I feel in the mood.

Hasn't anyone told you it's inconsiderate to hijack? (just kidding!)

:O Keep this blog open, RJ, it's a good way to learn more about Jabber's nefarious past. And maybe her nefarious present if she has too much Merlot. I was knocked off a bike once, and on another occasion, fell off. Oh the shame. I was an indefatigable cyclist from a very early age and growing up in a city full of hills, would swoop "look no hands and no feet either!" along many a highway and byway. Until one day a man called out from his garden "you'll fall off doing that" which of course I promptly did. Honestly, some adults shouldn't be trusted in their own front gardens.

I've just sorted out my wine cellar I'll have you know, and I've got at least a dozen unopened bottles of wine left.
And I'm only half way through the holidays.

Hello! *cough* *a a a a choooo*
Saw the door open and thought I'd pop in - long time no dramas, Llamas. ;)
There's always One, Flopsy!
Sounds like you had it down pat, too. :(
I've had two crashes on bikes: motorbike at 10 - Into the fence in the back paddock resulting in a dislocated shoulder and my mother banned the bike. :(
The push bike some time later, dodged a small bridge upright but I have a dent in my right tibia that matches the post profile!
Have a lovely week Up There. It's been dry and sunny here for three days in a row. :) *bliss*

| Hmmm I'm a little lite on bicycle stories but maybe I can conjure up an interesting anecdote from my past. Hey (not hay) I think you may have hit on something here Jabberwok. It would be kinda fun if we got enough people sharing hitherto undivulged funny experiences from there past. Yes, and you know who you are...like glendathecat and his/her seeming endless battle of the sexes or...(fill in a name). I'll have mine up after I finish a few quizzes. I do have to work for a living ;-) |

I don't use any bikes except t stationary kind-the vision's one thing, but mostly it's the balance. The last exercise bike I had had to be junkedk, though-loose pedals and who knows what else!
So many interesting snippets here...
