I'd like A Bike Please.
Sat at the Pret near Uni, as I dig into my lunch some guy pootles along on one of these.
How cool, I thought. Looks like something he made. But doesn't look like he's getting anywhere fast. I re-told my story to Kyle..
Me: babe, there was this guy on a bike with wheels like only this big!
K: uhhuh.
Me: no you don't understand, they were only this big.
K: uhhuh.
Me: ah.
I completely forgot about what I saw until yesterday when it reappeared, only this time on my tv screen.
K: come and look at this! (laughs at tv presenter who too is pootling around the studio crashing into things)
Me: uhhuh. I told you about this like aaaaages ago (playing the 'duh-how ketingallan zaman(i.e left in the stone age) are you?' card)
I've decided its one of the coolest inventions I have seen this year. If you aren't familiar with the maker, Sir Clive Sinclair - where have you been?! You'll probably remember the Sinclair c5
that always seems to make the 'top 100 embarassing moments/things/inventions', that crushed the man's credibility. Still, he's back on top with the new A-Bike that, I think, looks fantastic. A lot more practical than the 1k two wheel, stand-up thing that was brought out a few years ago - wouldn't you think? At £199, the A-Bike is so much more affordable than your regular bike, and I have to say I wouldn't mind one at all.
However, I think during yesterday's Tornado in London, I think I might just stay indoors! Mind you, I was outside during that time (not so clever- I know) and didn't think anything of it until I knew it was an actual Tornado! Lesson learned: People get out of your Range Rovers and get yourselves an A-Bike! xxw

Wow, never knew England was prone to Tornadoes. Never heard anything pun when we were there.. freak phenomenon?
tell me about it! the photos of what happened to the houses are mind-boggling. It might be a freak phenomenon to happen in London but I have been in Lincolnshire where there have been 'little' tornadoes. There, they just cut through the farms and perhaps lift a couple roofs off a barn or two but that's nothing in comparison to what we saw happen here. Still, Tornadoes hit the UK every year.. and this time happened to be a little too close to home for comfort!xxw
