My bike was stolen last weekend. Which sucks, but there's no point crying over spilt bike. At least it was cheap. And the point of this post is not to whinge, but to tell you that right now I am answering an ad in Daily Info for a "Small Female Mountain".
(What makes a mountain female? What gender is, say, Mount Fuji? Or the Matterhorn? Actually that one's easy. How small is small? The size of an Irish mountain? Is it a bonsai mountain? Otherwise, how the hell am I going to collect it?)

Possibly the other way round.

i'm reminded of the Henry Normal poem about the mountain, the title of which (having lent out my copy) escapes me...

Turn it into a molehill, and get the mole removed. They freeze them off these days, I'm told.

This raises new worries. It sounds like he sells a lot of bikes. Where does he get them from? Maybe this small female mountain will turn out to be my own bike!

If it were a car, the advice would be "He's a dealer, not a private seller, so be (at least) extremely cautious". I'm not sure how much (given that the price is going to be around 40 quid, not 14000 quid...)

The obvious thing (given the other information) is whether you want to ask him if he's a bad man, or whether you just want a bike, no questions asked :)

So, maybe he comes by them (reasonably) legitimately when clearing properties?

So, they might be on the level.

I went ahead and bought it. And I didn't see my own bike in the back of his car!

A clear-cut case of Poetic Injustice, if ever I heard one.

I suspect this mysterious item is, in fact, a rock with a hole in it.

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains
On the other hand, though, Ev-her-est.
I'll get me coat.
Re: Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains
Your subject line is a lyric of great bizarreness. But my breasts are not at all humble, in fact they're much more egotistical than the rest of me.
Re: Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains
I'm really not sure how to comment on that...
Re: Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains
And not without cause!

(Yes, I bought it)

It does, sorry to hear that. Scumbags the lot of them. :(

Did it have any identifying marks to pass on to the police? I've had two bikes stolen. One was recovered. The give away was that it was red, with red handle-bar tape, and a red saddle, on a 25" frame (ie. large :), and the saddle was raised up an inch beyond the safety mark. There was a knack to riding it, and I was amazed to get it back with a broken kick-stand, but the saddle hadn't been lowered!

If you lock your bike in such a way that it's causing an obstruction in UCD, they'll let the air out of your tyres..what a cool job :-)

I had a bike stolen from inside Trinity once, but it was a horrible old rustbucket and I sort of failed to lock it properly because I sort of wanted it to disappear...

It is indeed a small mountain, but a serviceable one, it seems...
