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?)

I'm considering buying a bike to cycle to Belfield from town, as I just got a job in UCD, but everyone I know in Dublin has had their bike stolen!

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 :-)

Fssssssst.

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...

Ha, was it insured :)

Nope. I had nothing to gain from losing it, I just really hated it!
