    Do you have a green bike? Was it in the racks at the front of the building?

    I turned your rear light off for you. Unfortunately I didn't realise your front light was also on until I was too far away to be arsed to go back and turn it off, so if that battery is dead, sorry.

    If it was a Dawes with a rack on the back.. I know the owner and will ask him!

    He goes there every morning..

    Can't remember. I'd just done ten lengths and was a bit bleary-eyed at 0640!

    Wasn't him, he went for a run there instead!

    But he appreciates that people are looking our for each other! :)

    Kirst, does the new commonwealth pool still have a tidal current or maybe an eddy about 25 metres along just when you are looking for a wall to kick off?

    @gembo don't know what you are talking about but the floor changes halfway along which is quite nice as at least you know you are half way there...

    No, but it does have my noseclips somewhere.

    @fimm I always found the commie a tad harder than infirmary street which in itself was slightly longer than Warrender or Glenogle.

    I am fairly competent at front crawl. I also like back crawl.nthe latter I can sometimes lose direction. In the commie of old, when tiring, I could also find myself being dragged from the RHS of the lane over to the left when heading towards Cameron toll whilst swimming front crawl. Instead of concluding my swimming was weak, I concluded the old commie had a current.

    If anyone has a good recommendation for earplugs I would like to hear it. Ah but I can't as ears are waterlogged.
