Finally completed one overdue blog task, please refer to the Cycling Blogs of Renown page in this blogs right hand column.
If you can’t see your inspirational scribblings linked on that page, then drop moi a line and a suitable errata will be made. At some point, probably into the far off future, Non-Cycling Blogs of Renown will be overhauled and a couple of RWDB‘s will be added next to the Chattering Classes just for jollies. Ok, ok, only kidding about linking RWDB blogs, only a bad jape …
Yes I’ve finally got me head around using basic html tables.
It’s a bad sign, as I’m even starting to dream about editing css files in my sleep.

Doubtless like many others who heard this sad news early Saturday evening, I have extremely fond memories of the Hobart Myer store in the 70′s and 80′s, of clothes, books, records and all that stuff that deeply imprints upon you when growing up. Down in the basement, if you put an ear to the wall, you could hear the Hobart Rivulet barely encased behind the bricks.
With the old buildings rabbit warren-like construction, two shopping arcades at either end and the Cat & Fiddle Arcade in the middle, sadly, it’s not surprising when the building caught fire it literally went like a train. More here via The Mercury. Hope there’s news soon that either Myers (nationally) or the state government steps in to help employees and businesses affected in this huge blaze.
Don’t know how the hell this news totally eluded me, Humphrey B Flaubert’s aka DC Root has got another band together! And they play country AND western! Oh it doth stir the cockles of my heart to know the dregs of TISM are still out there giving people the shits.
Attention ex TISMvictims fans, this is a call to arms on behalf of bad taste and early middle age everywhere. Take back the inner burbs from creeping beige entropy, the blue blazer wearing corporate cockroachs and their brown-nosing office minions. I want to see massive daisy wheels of locked up bicycles outside every ROOT gig, even those outside the Melbourne metropolitan area. Especially Bendigo.
And now, a message from the Prime Minister
People of Australia, I urge you to stay away from this group that calls itself ROOT! Now I understand that the singer, yes, was once a member of my favourite band, Human Nature. So Janette and I rocked along to the recent “recital” expecting all the things we’ve come to love about the Nature: the stage diving, the nudity, the relentless 170BPM hardcore garage beats and freshly deposited stool left behind in the dressing room, but what do we get? A fcuking country band!

Got send this pic earlier, initially my thoughts were a combination of “it’s obviously photoshopped” and “it’s obviously bollox”.
But no, it’s true, via the ever-creative folk from World of Instructables comes the Cart Bike.
Combine a derelict shopping cart with a bicycle for a ride with ample cargo capacity.
This is a nice way to save a shopping cart and a bike that might otherwise end up in a landfill. It is quite the head turner but not a good corner turner.
IMHO it looks more like a Poor Mans BakFietthat pivots like a brick. And Bill, if you’re reading this, this maybe another project we may need to discuss. Or not.
