Happy Birthday and vice versa). I know Rapha good but I suggest inventing summer birthday. like the queen (tho she has two birthdays and 364 christmasses as she is billionaire - her eldest son also charged Govt £500,000 or so for renting them Dartmoor Prison which I have noted for a rainy day) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18246 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:42:04 +0000 Cyclingmollie 18246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>kaputnik: "I for one am happy that they've cancelled christmas, cos I'm a miserable b*****d " Isn't that why Rapha was invented? As I get a combo Christmas/birthday I get directed towards the Rapha site and asked if there's anything that I'd like. Seems like Rapha is the answer to buying cylists presents when you don't really know what cyclists want (not that I am complaining). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18233 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 13:36:18 +0000 chdot 18233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/12/christmas-tree-made-of-100-bicycles-lights-up-in-australia.php"><img src="http://www.treehugger.com/treecycle-australia.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/12/christmas-tree-made-of-100-bicycles-lights-up-in-australia.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/12/christmas-tree-made-of-100-bicycles-lights-up-in-australia.php</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18178 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:41:23 +0000 kaputnik 18178@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Marchmont tree has been there for a week, must go see if it has collapsed under the weight of snow yet.</p> <p>I for one am happy that they've cancelled christmas, cos I'm a miserable b*****d </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18167 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:37:26 +0000 chdot 18167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"do it without the stage"</p> <p>Doable, </p> <p>"then someone hits a switch"</p> <p>Ah,</p> <p>That's when the riot starts -</p> <p>No-one has put the lights on the trees. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18164 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:33:24 +0000 spitfire 18164@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>so do it without the stage, someone start counting down 10 - 9 etc and the crowd will join in and then someone hits a switch - applause<br /> job done </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18158 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:23:31 +0000 chdot 18158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"That is one story anyway"</p> <p>Here's the official one -</p> <p>"<br /> the erection of stages and public address systems had been difficult as a result of the bad weather. </p> <p>A city council spokeswoman said: "While we appreciate the disappointment this decision will cause, our top priority must be to ensure the safety of the public, contractors and employees."<br /> "</p> <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/scotland/Motorists-hit-by-more-winter.6646217.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/scotland/Motorists-hit-by-more-winter.6646217.jp</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18157 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:14:42 +0000 spitfire 18157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will have to join us for the Merchiston ones at Holy Corner on the 9th then - we even have Grant Stott opening them (is that the name?) him fromthe bus ads and all those horrible horrible pantos </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18153 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:04:55 +0000 chdot 18153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And -<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/5226647937/"></p> <p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5121/5226647937_59dcb9f79e_z.jpg"><br /> </a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1812#post-18152 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:04:26 +0000 gembo 18152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah the fir trees are so frozen that they are brittle thus transporting them to all the usual spots - Dean Village, Stockbridge etc to be festooned in lights leads to them breaking.
