Normally on a Monday morning I would be starting my comute to London at 06:15. This was not the case however this morning, due to the fact that the front sprocket that I ordered to go with the rear and new chain was not the right one and doesn't fit on the bike. AARRRGGGHHHH. And seeing as the chain that was on the bike snapped on the way home on Sat, I can't use the bike. This is my only form of transport so I have had to stay at home and loose a days pay. AAARRRGGGHHHHH.

Then I woke up this morning and whilst leasurly filling the kettle, looked out of the window. Bloody 'ell. Total frost everywhere. A small smile crept accross my face while I sat down to watch a bit of day time tv

I do feel however really guilty as Rictus will be on his way to my house to help me out of my bikeless problem. Sorry m8

I think Rictus froze those particular nerves off 30 years ago!

from the tone of the comments in this post, I detect that the spirit of Plastic Percy lives on . . .

and I'm always right

Those particular "tones" as you put it Mr Toad, were around well before they were summised into a single character, plastic or otherwise!
