    AOL. 5'10" if I stand up straight (which my back generally objects
    to) and 13st 8 (which my back also objects to) - but I'm relatively
    comfy with (or resigned to) that weight. I don't look in mirrors, for
    obvious reasons.

    I've got four inches on you, don't forget. So I don't even look fat
    Which have nothing to do with weight, of course.

    In the right light.
    Exactly.

    Whenever I see pictures of UKRMers together with a few exceptions, I
    generally have this vague impulsion to buy pie factory shares.

    Despite this, you all seem to be bloody lightweights.

    I came across a similar problem last week when I went to inflate my
    B6's front tyre but realised I could insert the inflater-bit-thinger
    between the two discs and then get it into position and press down on
    it by moving my hands.

    Done.

    I'll add 5'9" and 11 stone 10 to the list whilst we're about it.

    90 degree adaptor, costs about 3 quid from any decent bike shop, or Hein
    Gericke.

    It was on one of these modern type machines. I just dialled in 36psi
    and then stuck it in and it inflates it to 36 and then bleeps.

    Yes Nick, and you can still use the nice modern machine when you have a
    shiny new adaptor. It makes getting the pump's outlet onto the valve a
    lot easier. There's no need to go digging between the discs.

    Not at all. I've got a report to prove it.

    Be careful it doesn't catch your ankle bone when it does that. It fucking
    hurts.
