Had a really nice LAM ride to the Cock Inn at Ringmer. Future DSSC rideout perhaps?

edit: have bagsied the Passenger Aircraft book; I love outdated aviation books!

Now, you're making these names up. I won't fall for it

I'm not, I swear! It has a website and everything!

(Welcome back!)

now searching the interweb for the cock in @ ring me........

I bet you get over a billion hits.

http://www.cockpub.co.uk/

It's for real. Actually quite a sophisticated site.
Although some of the pix of their offerings gave me a bit of a queasy feeling.

there is a cock tavern not far from me. they specialize in karaoke and fist fights.

confusingly, it's on mare street

And another one in Kings Cross, the Cock Tavern.

On Fridays and alternative Thursdays the cock is half price.

after taking the kids to Mountfitchet Castle in the summer, Sue and I spotted a pub simply named; Cock.

Mountfitchet and Cock in one day.

my local electronics shop sells something called a 'four way gang' ... sounds like it might be a fitting accessory to bring to the cock tavern's alternative thursdays

Hmmmmm, this could get interesting.

Probably end up "blowing" the mains fuse.

What Benelli Boy hasn't mentioned is that he once deliberately led a ride through a village called Three Cocks.

I used to go to "The Fighting Cocks" pub in St Albans.

Never saw any practical demonstrations, mind you.

This is beginning to sound like a Finbarr Saunders (Viz) pub crawl.

I was wrestling with all sorts of inadequacies at the time, and felt the need to prove myself. It's the only excuse I can offer

However, on a brighter note, it's good that I've now fully recovered, and can happily put Three Cocks behind me

Ringmer, It does exsist because I've been there.

Isn't it just outside Brighton Husky ?

As for a Four Way Gang - Oh memories memories.

More banal rubbish later.

How about -

There's a Halfway Inn in Box, just outside Bath.

There used to be an Organ Inn near Ewell, but some pub-co changed the name.

Also a long-gone Cock Inn in Sutton, but the old pub sign still dominates the crossroads.

There's a great pub called the Dirty Habit a few miles from me.

Feel free to insert your own joke at this point.

Has anyone heard about DJ Hero? [NSR] xbox360 DJ Hero

I attached a demo vid, it look really good. Though it may interest the gamers on here. Seems like the developers have had a Eureka moment on this one.

Sorry to change the subject.

Bill, yup, nearer Lewes I think - and I'm already planning a route. Stay tuned.

Only the one Dirty Habit?

Husky name the day and I'll be there for that ride.

The ride to Ringmer. Just brilliant.

Bill x

There's Dirty Dicks at Liverpool St Station.

Been that way since 1750.

spotted on brick lane earlier today....

Genie in the lead for cock related jokes.

We should have a prize for the best one. I vote for "Diet Cock".

Wow that's some pretty cheap Cock. Cheapest Cock I've seen in a long time.

Bill X

I can't wait for the adverts with Santa handing out free Cock to children...
Then you really know it's Christmas.

Don't get me started on his full sack.

Ashamed.

Means he's not giving enough Cock.

Wait, at some point this just becomes disgusting

wait for it .... "Holidays are cumming"


(did i just really type that? sometimes I am ashamed)

Well, everyone's a filth wizard this week.

My concerns are: is it now cold enough to put on that stupid furry Bagster lap blanket on the 300?

Yes but on Thursday the temps predicted to double to 14 degrees!

A partial hijack on WM's point.

Muffs...

Are they worth it for the UK winter?
Will they last several seasons?
What are people using and what would they recomend?

I have seen the Oxford OF82 Delux on the net for £26 but dont know if that is good, bad, expensive but worth it etc.

Stewart

Yes they're worth it, yes they will last.

mine are an oxford brand, I've not got them on yet, but with good gloves your hands will be toasty.

edit: I found the box they were hiding in. They're a tucono brand, I think manopole type (I'm reading the label) They looked like an oxford pair. Fluffy on the inside and, they take a scrape or to... as I've found out . Not sure how much they were though.

My Oxford "Scooter muffs" disintegrated within a few months.

The Bagsters are well over twice the price, but not only last, they won't apply your brakes for you.

As you will be bored of hearing - they're on my bikes all year round.
