I&#8217;m in the market for a road bike for <a href=\"http:\/\/ravenfamily.org\/frood\">Frood<\/a>. Maybe I should email him a picture of my boobs and see what discount I could get. Only I don&#8217;t know whether Mrs Richard reads his email and I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;d be too impressed if she saw such a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe there is a niche for a QC-style shop-cum-messenger business-cum bistro and bar with a comic shop tacked onto the back (that last is a relatively new addition, prompted by the TOTAL FUCKING LACK OF COMIC SHOPS IN FIFE. Thank gods for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comix-shop.co.uk\">Toby, Jimbo and Dominic<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>What is it round here? Fife is hardly a rural backwater, yet we had to drive all the way to Inverkeithing just to get a set of Time ATAC cleats.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and while I was feeling rather pleased with myself over my swimming the other day, watching the ITC Triathlon put it into perspective. Those girlies were doing 1500m in 19 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>19 FUCKING MINUTES!<\/p>\n<p>What, do they come with outboards?
