Hi Guys,

Hope everybody had a good Easter.

Thankfully no more idiots over my way over the holiday period so the bike is still standing. Dogs not so kean about guarding it at night, can't tempt him so far (I knew letting him sleep with me was a bad move).

It's just a good excuse for me to be out & about on the bike a bit more, I had a feeling I wasn't riding enough, at least having the GN is helping me learn lots about how to fix a bike! :0)

Hi Wilf - I gather (friends in low places) that the Coleman St bay is going to Members Committee on 7th May and there are no outstanding objections at the moment. If it gets through that, it's pretty much a done deal. A report on it should be available a week before the committee and if you want to check up on progress or objections, you can contact the parking strategy team on e-mail lines-signs@brighton-hove.gov.uk.

Hope that helps.

Wilf - take it from me. Sleeping with dogs is *always* a bad move

...but we've all done it, right?

Well, I haven't, and any suggestion that I have done so is a nasty smear, politically motivated, and the product of a diseased and vicious mind.  That McBride chap probably had something to do with it too.  Besides, it was a female dog - there's nothing weird about me!

Hi Endo & Mr BD,

Yeah heard from the council today & once it's through on the 7th (they didn't think they'd be any probs) it'll be a P1 job. God I hope it stops getting the bike from getting battered.

How did you find out Endo? you know the right people highly impressed, all I can do is tell you about water.

Oh forgot to say but my dog is such a cutie, viscous little bugger to other but loves his mum plus acts as a good hot water bottle.

I'll try not to get all girly about it, TTFM

That's the best kind to have. And you be as girly as you like, we won't mind. (In fact, a bit of girliness wouldn't go amiss round here, since Ems seems to have deserted the ship.)

I have to admit I was quite proud of myself last week I changed the reg/rec & only needed a little bit of help from my nice mechanic chap. yeah!! 

Good job I don't mind getting covered in bike muck, along as it doesn't mess up the hair

...or the fingernails???!

There's something quite relaxing about messing around with bikes...especially when you don't have to do it. Doubly satisfying when they still work at the end of it.

Leaving aside any metaphorical and quite unfairly sexist metaphors concerning dogs, women of doubtful provenance and the misspent days of my youth - as the fine, upstanding citizen that I have become, I simply asked my contact at Brighton council for whatever information was freely available in the public domain (or would be freely available, assuming anyone knew that they could ask for it). Not ever so mysterious, or, indeed, exciting!

By comparison, it's entirely possible that water's an interesting topic; although I can't remember that much from my Chemistry A-level days I do recall that it has a lot of anomalous properties, some of which are down to the unusually narrow, asymmetric tetrahedral bond angle between the hydrogen atoms (about 105 degrees?). Expect that would score about 3% if I took the exam again today, or an A** at GCSE equivalent.
