    Don't become Americanized in your language! I like Brit-speak

    It's hard for me to sit still very long. Thus, it took me two times back to this thread and a bout of insomnia to watch 7 minutes...

    But, omg, glad I did... that was TOO cute! I passed that on, which I don't usually do either.

    Yea... part of me chuckled and said, "GF, go get yourself an upgrade...(like boys that went riding hard down the road on two wheels)". But, that would be just purely the cynical streak in me.

    I think it says, "if you want something bad enough, don't give up and go after it hard until you get it...". Besides the other stuff.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Fenders are mudguards! Obviously!!!

    Can't see myself becoming fully americanised, but knowing the local words does have it's advantage - just joined a German cycling forum (I left Germany before I started cycling again), and the lingo is a nightmare! They keep going on about the "Vorbau" and other weird stuff - took me ages to work out they mean the stem!

    As for the movie example - even over hear you would put your pants on (at least round here), but go to the cinema or, indeed, the pictures - personally I favour the cinema! :-)

    Amsterdame ride coming up in 4 1/2 weeks - things still looking bleak on the sponsorship front, but I'm getting very exited!
    One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!
