drat.
I'm a happy prole this morning. I learned I am firmly working class (as befits a hero of the people such as myself) based on Cavey's excellent article here: www.coll3ctive.co.uk/general/crunchy/the-new-soup-social-system/

Alt: My Geek Phone probably, or my bike.

Shall I get rid of my thread? Yes I think I shall

2 more?
2 more? then *shudders* it's a road bike?

It was an 80s 10-speed racer
it's now a 12-speed commuter (lost the drop bars, put the gear levers in a sensible place and upgraded wheel, brakes etc).

The extra 2 gears are because I was offered either a 5 or 6 speed rear wheel for the same price, so I thought why not take an extra cog for free.

/stuff no one will read

LEAVE ROAD BIKES ALONE!!!

I got given a 44cm framed Giant OCR today. I intend to do it up and sell it to a dwarf.

I'm lower middle class
given I'm prone to cartons but will very occasionally do a tin, and don't like Ikea. I am also mildly concerned about property prices, and only care about school league tables insofar as they provide a starting point for me to deliver my ill-thought-out opinions on how children should be beaten educated.
