I sort of liked Gordon Brewer. sallyhinch on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154977 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:36:51 +0000 sallyhinch 154977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ If the white paper thread is anything to go by it's this <img src="http://www.commonwheel.org.uk/files/u8/Back%20to%20Back.jpg"> (from the brilliant Common Wheel <a href="http://www.commonwheel.org.uk/johns-creations)" rel="nofollow">http://www.commonwheel.org.uk/johns-creations)</a> Roibeard on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154975 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:23:00 +0000 Roibeard 154975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @Arellcat - If Scotland was a bike, it would have to be the rear half of an S&S coupled Hase Pino. <grin> Although I'm uncertain if the rear half can stand on its own two feet... Oh, I see! ;-) Robert (Who is inferring nothing about Arellcat's politics from the above humour!) crowriver on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154970 Wed, 28 May 2014 10:53:34 +0000 crowriver 154970@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ we get Newsnight half an hour later now This. A better arrangement than the often cack-handed 'switcheroo', to be sure. Scotland 2014 needs to buck its ideas up though. wee folding bike on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154966 Wed, 28 May 2014 10:45:15 +0000 wee folding bike 154966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ So do we get Newsnight half an hour later now or do we just get the second half of Newsnight? Luckily I can watch Newsnight in iPlayer if I need to.

Political aspirations to be fine and upstanding, against a too-comfortable partner. If Scotland was a bike, it would have to be the rear half of an S&S coupled Hase Pino. crowriver on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154959 Wed, 28 May 2014 10:30:48 +0000 crowriver 154959@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Aye, Scotland 2014 was a bit pants. So much so it made me miss Newsnicht: some feat that. Hopefully it will get better, it could hardly get worse. Or could it?

Occasionally they oil the chain when it's protesting squeak gets too loud, but they accidentally-on-purpose get a bit of oil on the brake rims in doing so. And no, you can't have a bigger bike. Danny Alexander says so. steveo on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154929 Wed, 28 May 2014 09:01:30 +0000 steveo 154929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ A mid range racer, stuck in the back of a shed rusting and ignored... chdot on "If Scotland was a bike..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12872#post-154926 Wed, 28 May 2014 08:39:04 +0000 chdot 154926@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "For those who missed it" Sadly, you wouldn't be sad. I hope it's 'early days'. The backdrop is a garish distraction. The first story was a hard-hitting investigation into G4S - they won't be able to do that every day. The interview with Danny Alexander wasn't particularly illuminating. The final bit was a discussion about 'today on social media' - not clear if that will be daily.
