Guy Fawkes

A nasty plot that was burnt at the stake and to this day ppeople celebrate it by letting of fireworks, with a big bang!

A sad state that we continue with to this very day...

Hi Neil,
Trevor tagged you in a post.

Trevor wrote: "Well after two beers at the Fat Cactus I felt I was gonna puke by the time I go to the top of the Station Road bridge. Probably nothing for you cycling heroes, but a testy little uphill for a unfit slob like me. At least I got in a bit of cardio as the rest of the 8 minute ride home was flat.

So I figure the Fat Cactus might be a beneficiary of my attempts to get a little cycle fit. Since cycling to work and back is a bit short for any kind of work out I will go to Fat Cactus every day and work on my time for the ride home each day. Baby steps is what its called and I am sure Neil Anthony Hughes from whom I am purchasing this fine cycle would agree."

Ain't that the truth...
