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.
The second most wrong, bad link in the entire universe. I heard the very same lyrics when 6 years old. Now someones made them a visual reality.
The most wrong, bad link in the entire universe. NSFW! NSFW! That bloke in the suspensers and romantically posed with the Volvo had nothing on this.
Light’s finally gone green, time to commence laminating ….. oooo, before I forget, here’s a special little somethingguaranteed to have Tim Pallas & John Brumby breaking out in cold sweats and terrifying nightmares!
Hovis London Freewheel: The Day of the Bicycles!
London is buzzing today with the news that, for one remarkable day, many of the capital’s roads will be completely traffic-free and open only to cyclists.
On Sunday 23 September, London goes traffic-free
All Londoners – from mums on shoppers to old folks on rusty relics – will be coming from far and wide to ride down the city’s most famous roads, seeing sights like London Eye, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.
Yep, a fun ‘Day of the Bicycles’ for London (pop. 7.5m)
A cat in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was taken to a vet high on cocaine and benzodiazepines.
The eight-month-old Himalayan cat arrived at the Double Bay clinic on Monday morning with dilated pupils and a racing heart after being accidentally locked in a cupboard overnight, Fairfax newspapers reported.
Amusing? Certainly not in my books, it’s sickeningly cruel to the poor animal.
I’ll assure readers the only junk going down at Beer Can Hill is some discreet nepetalactone sniffing in the backyard while we’re out.

As regular viewers may of noted by now, I’m rather over inane, uninformed naive bullcrap dished up as opinion about the semi-eternal bicycle vs. motorists debate.
So it is with great relish I read online that Paul Pottinger is receiving a right pasting for this bizarre little spleen venting exercise in todays Daily Terror. It’s rather dull copy that most people wouldn’t even give the dignity of wiping their derrieres with, even if it was presented to them in printed form.
Scores thus far (71 comments)
59: Get over yourself Pottinger.
9: Cyclists, yukky poo!
4: Foot in either camp
Thus also providing much needed evidence that if there is hope, it lies in the Proles. Possibly.
UPDATE: Online article has had todays comments removed, and is not linked from the “Have Your Say” section despite there being 71 comments. FYI - comments still can be found here. Oooooo, who’s a bad sport and had a tantie? Sooks!
It’s lovely day today in Melboring, and hopefully only two more sleeps until my new REDMet Inferno arrives. Happy days are here again!
