Rode out on Thursday night and picked up some punctures. Fixed four of them Friday evening.
At the same time I fixed a couple of punctures in Zak’s spasticar cripplechariot*.

For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
