You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.
About me: Cyclist of the year too many times to mention my love of the Stollen and fruit based drinks/cocktails has seen a diminution of my skillz. I fucking love noise, like.
Who I'd like to meet: Simoni, Cunego, DiLuca, still Jan Ullrich and the late Pantani. Anyone who'll gift me the huge stable of bikes I deserve or drag my arse up the Mortirolo (PS SGIHE 80s alums I did Alpe d'Huez in August 2005 only to find Sheryl Crow did it ten minutes quicker).
Ooh, I didn't know about the impending fatherdom for Phil. Chris and Neil (Tilton/Wolves) are doing the Glen Branca thing in London too. Shall have to do some more research about putting them on. It's the right thing to do, but where? That is the question.
i am, as sods law would have it, home on the sunday of said weekend, so no go. should be home for the whole summer (employment permitting) so we shall have to get some giggage under our belts.
re: forest- i was dancing the night away at the uni's annual smiths night with a mate who's a derby fan. needless to say much beer was drunk in celebration and an excellent night was had by all.
gilbert, it has been too long my friend, how are things? i look forward to the next time me and your leather jacketed self can meet up and listen to some dirty great noise.
