    Well it's Friday after all.

    So I'm wondering what I could get away with on the BTW scheme that would stretch the bounds a little.

    How about this carry on ?

    Well I guess, but why would you waste a great deal on one of those things?

    Of course they are Pete, they're bicycles with one stabiliser. I think their aimed at the advanced beginner segment of the market. ;)

    Such, as famously, country legend George Jones:
    One of the best known stories of Jones' drinking days happened when he was married to his second wife, Shirley Corley. Jones recalled Shirley making it physically impossible for him to travel to Beaumont, located 8 miles away, and buy liquor. Because Jones would not walk that far, she would hide the keys to each of their cars they owned before leaving. She, however, did not hide the keys to the lawn mower. Jones recollects being upset at not being able to find any keys before looking out the window and at a light that shone over their property. He then described his thoughts, saying: "There, gleaming in the glow, was that ten-horsepower rotary engine under a seat. A key glistening in the ignition. I imagine the top speed for that old mower was five miles per hour. It might have taken an hour and a half or more for me to get to the liquor store, but get there I did."
