And she's not made up a random online name. Why lionfish isn't capitalised I don't know - not very grammatical anyway... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5377#post-57651 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:41:51 +0000 DaveC 57651@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha! I like it, you are lionfish but you're other half is presumably called Lionfish (capital L - indicating they) wears the trousers? ;&lt;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5377#post-57645 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:55:30 +0000 lionfish 57645@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I appreciate why people aren't on facebook. I didn't want to join, but L made an account for me... and I inevitably got sucked into it. Now it's impossible to escape... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5377#post-57643 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:45:27 +0000 DaveC 57643@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ Arellcat...

I went on the last one, not quite knowing what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised to find the group chilled, law-abiding, careful cyclists. So I'll be along this month too! Hope it stays that way.</p> <p>Anyone on here a CMer? </p>
