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?)

All mountains are female. All volcanos are male. They change gender over time, like, er, I can’t remember which creatures change gender at will or as they age, but yes.

Possibly the other way round.

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

There's the Jungfrau; I suspect that's probably female. It's not small, though.

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

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

Fuji-san is definitely male.

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 :-)
