| On yer bike |
|
My
bike was £350, it's a Specialized Hard
Rock mountain bike, which is handy for any,
er, mountains I might encounter along the
route. Come back and check out the smart Specialized
site later.
One man on a bike
I go along the Thames tow path sometimes (even
Old Father Thames has his
own web site), which is unmade. A road
bike wouldn't last very long. Pot holes and
naughty objects in the road are easily negotiated
too.
Oh yes. I had to spend more on appropriate
clothing and a rather expensive, but indespensible
light. However, I do save at least £130
per month on transport costs.
I say 'at least', because one tends to pop
into the pub on the way home less often when
a 12 mile bike ride is on the agenda.

Hey,
look. Here's my bike resting on the Albert
Memorial (below). It cost around £130,000
and took 20 years to complete (that's the
memorial, not my bike). The statue of Prince
Albert was added in 1875, 14 years after his
premature death in December, 1861. He was
42.

'The
simple magnificence of its design, and the extraordinary
splendour of its adornment, confer upon the
Albert Memorial the very highest distinction
amongst modern works of art.'
Professor Robert Kerr, 1891 |
Giant
snow dome
It would, of course, look vastly superior with
a huge plastic snow dome over it, full of water
and fake snow, which could be agitated at times
of national crisis bringing joy and cheer to
the kingdom. |

You
try then
Ok, ok, so it wouldn't look anything like this.
I've got my perspectives all wrong. If anyone
wants to do a better picture of the Albert Memorial
under a snowdome, I will happily display it
with the appropriate credit and reward you with
a whatshouldiputonthefence.com tshirt, or something.

Someone
did try!

Mutt Design is a PROPER graphic
artist designing sort-of person who
knows his perspectives. Oh yes, not
like your Fencemaster. Thanks Martin.
