Shim,

let's face it, as you have previously agreed, you are a dreamer.

But there's nothing wrong with dreaming - take it from me

shim: what is with this on modern racing bikes that you can't even fit mudguards? Even if you manage to get some method of attachment there's not enough gap between the tire and the tube that crosses above it.

Cos they're for racing hence the tight clearances.

You don't buy a Lotus Elise and complain about boot space do you?

Ah, but that be-eth the point!

All is not doom and gloom unless you do something about it.

Just don't expect earning £1500 a week to sort out all your problems, nay this in itself is the problem.

Go forward and run cycling holidays in the South of France is the message on the wind....

We live in a world where materialism is all and "common sense" tells us to forget our dreams and be "practical".
My un-common sense tells me that following one's dreams is the only practical and useful way to live life.

So shim, there is your answer... If you understand, things are just as they are... If you do not understand, things are just as they are....

Squeamishness about elderly people's hygiene has led to 6,400 vacanciesw nationwide, but sex workers are judged ideal. A spokesman for welfare Diakone Westfalen said : 'They have good people skills, aren't easily disgusted and have zero fear of physical conduct'

No, you can always fit a towbar and put your stuff in the caravan.
