I owe this one to Gezz. For services to the pootle crew of the highest order of innuendo and dry humour. Working now in the city centre getting home for a reasonable hour is entirely down to the winds of fate and red yellow and green roulette of traffic lights. I think I surprised Phil […]

Fat Lad Gets His Spook On
October 31, 2007 – 1:52 pm
EDIT: Googlevideo is shite, not only did it take fucking hours to turn up on the site when it said it was live, it has optimised the video to such a ridiculosly low resolution that you can’t see the whole fecking point of the file! On the unedited version (i’ll stick a link up later) […]

I request nay demand that you trot over the pond to Juancho’s corner of the web and put in your two pence/cents worth. That counts as this weeks post? Right? Fat Lad

Fat Lad Takes Flight
October 8, 2007 – 1:38 pm
Sorry my riding only buddies this one doesn’t involve any pedalling…. Christmas past Ma and Pa Fat Lad bought me a flying lesson to celebrate the birth of some long dead guy with a penchant for sandals sporting a phenomenal goatee. With the first free weekend since the wedding I gleefully organised to get behind […]
Fat Lad Has Seen The Light
September 27, 2007 – 1:47 pm
How new tech is this, written from a pda waiting in our new offices for the construction crew to finish up. Anyways… about 2 1/2 years ago (i’ll linkify later) I got some new lights and although they’ve performed really well it’s time to retire them. Step in my new lumicyle hid jobby. They’re new, […]
Fat Lad Wishes….
September 19, 2007 – 3:08 am
I wish I could climb like Jim. Ascending the hills with speed, strength and deceptive ease. I wish I could descend like Gezz. Hurtling down the hills with abandon, skill and balls. I wish I was as mechanically gifted as Pete. To be able to see something, take it to bits and whizz it back […]
Fat Lad Has To Ride
September 8, 2007 – 10:10 am
A certain UK bike journo said in an interview (in Dirt Rag) that he doesn’t feel the need to ride like some people do. Upon reading this I thought it was odd for someone whose very living depended upon our two wheeled hobby to say this. It seemed so alien to me not to have […]
Fat Lad is….

not sure what to write actually. Jane Tomlinson died yesterday. I’ve never been one for hero worship, our idols always seem so human after all. But I think our very own Leeds lass was the nearest thing I’ve ever had to a real hero.

Fat Lad is Fecked
September 2, 2007 – 10:58 am
It’s all Dave’s fault. This morning I wandered over the the ASDA car park to round up any riders joining myself and the Chip Shop Crew. Waiting under grey skies Tom and Dave were already out of their cars and raring to go, compared to Amy still in her pyjamas it was an unusual sight. […]
