He remained incredibly sharpe and witty on the radio right into old age. In a very talented man.

I always have ( and love ) Whippets. Nothing to do with my body shape

I hope the Mercian gets well wiped down afterwards. Wouldn’t like sweat to take its toll on such a cracking bike.

I had a Texas TI 30 and school in the late 70’s. It’s main advantage was that there was room to store a cigarette in the battery compartment.

Yes, the papers might well be hostile but they are largely irrelevant in the modern world. Their circulations have plummeted and they are only surviving by the skin of their teeth. The media that matters is TV / the BBC and the internet, who I’d say were less hostile / possibly more hostile to the C...

Currently have a Harley Road King that only does a quarter of my cycling annual ...

What do the collective think of Jess Phillips? From the perspective of re-gaining the lost Labour voters, I think she may be a good choice.

Currently loving Stick in the Wheel: against the loathsome beyond.

Proof that folk is now the genre to go to for creativity.
