Oh Pinkster that stinks

Is it time to turn it in for another one?

(The bike, not the husband)

Oh, I hope you can get it fixed just like it was before, Pinky.

Did Si screw up or was it someone else's fault?

I hope for the sake of your marriage it was the latter

That's the way to look at it, my friend

We want a pic of the newly refurbished Pinkster bike :guitarist

I really could have done without that...it's going to cost an arm and a leg!
Do you always have to pay in body parts?. Whatever happened to Pounds Sterling? :-3

You don't think I'm going to pay with *my* body parts, do you?:sneaky:

Ooer - just a little misunderstanding there. There used to be a kid at school who was just a head. We called him "Eddie".

Can't remember much about him except that he always had a hat for Christmas

There's a lot of nice stuff here Pinky!

Make Si feel guilty and get him to buy you a whole new outfit!

OMG, I'm not going to be showing my face in Halfords for a VERY long time...I wish my brain would engage before my mouth!

I went in for some stuff to mend splits in plastic, so I can fix some of it myself. I got to the counter and the old boy behind me was asking me how you use it, to which I replied without thinking 'Oh, I dunno, It's in the hope that the other half will fil my crack tomorrow':yh_doh

I thought the old guy was gonna die of shock, meanwhile the guy on the till was nearly on the floor...:-3

Even I can't believe I came out with that one!!!!

:yh_rotfl Thats the sort of thing I do, especially if I'm nervous.

Pinky.

Really sorry to hear about your bike. I hope it won't take too long to fix.

I'm not going to Halfords anymore though...:yh_blush

Two loooong months. No pillion rides for two looooong months.

Hey, I suggest you stay with Halfords. You don't want your reputation to spread now, do ya?:wah:

Have you ever posted a picture of it? If so, where?

Wow, like Snooze said, Si must be absolutely sure of himself to ride such a "pretty" bike!

Now you pink, match up with the pretty bike, perfectly!!!

I'll have to take the huffguard out of the lid too..you can usually just see my eyes!

And not too fast or you'll just be a streaking blur (not forgetting what wind can do to the eyes).
