Kids eh? Who'd have them?

Yeh a big kid at that too! He's 22 years old and should know better.

Might just pour some water in his bed tonight and see what he thinks

A sponge soaked in water is better...

When he 'jumps in' he will almost certainly sit on it

Now that is funny!

 

[Ian Raleigh]

lol

I do have a 'super soaker' water gun! Maybe I'll blast him when he's asleep!! He wouldn't laugh but I'd have to run bloody fast..lol

Anyway lets not hijack this fella's thread and get it back on topic

im taking the paint off and then possibly selling it. ive just got something else of the 2 wheeled type for commuting so the bike will be retired earlier than I thought lol

bit of an update but sadly no pictures - phone has broken.

I decided not to sell the bike after spending £65 in fuel last week in the bike commuting to my part time job and getting to the motorcycle maintenance course I have just started. so ive decided to start cycle commuting on the Raleigh again.

I got some time today and tried to get that horrid blue paint off - the paint underneath was beyond salvageable so ive resprayed the bike - not the best job but it looks a lot better in my opinion. its now black. ive replaced the front and rear brake cables and the brake pads. ive had to rewrap the bars with tape until I get paid and can get proper bar tape put on.
ready for sundays commuting duties.
