| A backward step, matching socks. |
| From: Tom (Velovole@hotmail.com) on 2 August 2006 |
| Ah, I wore matching socks for my bits tho'! |
| From: Peter Eland (Peter@velovision.co.uk) on 2 August 2006 |
Having just looked through the printouts I can reassure readers that Tom and his socks don't make a photographic appearance at all.
Nor you Seamus. Sorry.
One of Arch's socks is prominently visible, though.
I'll have the printouts at CycleVision if anyone wants a (black-and-white) sneak preview...
Cheers!

| Just listening to my latest CD music purchase, Kraftwerk 'Tour De France'. No cycle mags review cycling muzac. |
| From: Tom (Velovole@hotmail.com) on 2 August 2006 |
| True enough, Jase. We could track down some innovative socks for performance trials, too. |
| From: Ian Fardoe (@ome) on 2 August 2006 |

Oh, Lord. If I'd known you were going to print a picture of my sock, I'd have worn a newer pair...
By the way, I'd like to clarify that 'underwater cycling' doesn't refer to my boat. At least, I hope it doesn't... |
| From: Seamus (etc) on 2 August 2006 |
I seem to recall summat about Kraftwerk in, "Cycling Plus, within the last few years.
There's a web page, out there, all about cycling and music wot I encountered in the early days of my Cycling Films Big List.
Question. Which actor, later to attain stardom in the Carry-On films, wobbled on a bicycle in, "The Lavender Hill Mob," and threw his bicycle into the Mediterranean Sea in, "Above Us The Waves," ? |

I'm sorry, I'll try that again...
Was it the little chap with the specs? I can't remember his name, I never watched any Carry On.
|
| From: Wobbly John (cycles@xntrick.co.ok) on 2 August 2006 |
The little bloke wiv specs was Charles Hawtry wasn't it?
But I think the answer could be Sid James |
| From: Arch (@KM) on 2 August 2006 |
| Yes, I remembered the name Charles Hawtry in the pub last night. Still no idea if it was him in the Lavender Hill Mob, it's a while since I saw it. |
