Hi Lynda

Over here in Sitges, definitely, Sitges being Sitges you wouldn't have too go far..... especially in the summer months... its a great place to live, the party season starts in about two weeks with Carnival a mini version of the one in Rio and probably the best in Catalonia and Spain to be PC!!

It was originally widely accepted female gay (lesbian) colour, but over time has become regarded as gay for both genders. One mixed gay/straight London club I used to visit when clubbing with friends in the 1970s had purple all over the place and was run by a lesbian.

Great post flecc!!
In the informative or entertaining sense!

We were a mixed group of friends and my girlfriend at the time had been born in the Queen's coronation year and had the misfortune to be christened Regina. She hated it and insisted on being called Reggie, so you can imagine the misunderstanding that could cause in a club with a large lesbian membership! :rolleyes:

This is my 20,000th post, not about e-bikes for a change. :cool:

Hey Flecc, Reg, Reggie or Regina... she would have been very welcome here in Sitges.... Many congrats on the big 20k! :)

Thought I'd share this photo with you. I snapped my chain here yesterday and thought of this thread:

I like the pun on the sign, "shear bliss".

Let's hope the dogs don't end up like the border collie sheepdog on a recent Specsavers TV ad

I bought this one. It's great but you have to make sure you roughly balance the weight or it will tend to spin. I probably just need to tighten the nuts on the top clamp or else use the extendable front wheel clamp that came with it. It's very solid though and folds in to a thin column so it's great for storage.
