What both times

That's not fair. We can't cover our tracks when we have an itchy post-it button and create double threads. Why should you be allowed to do it

Anyway, *I* know that <./>T303607</.> used to be an identical copy of this thread until you removed it

We are talking Clive Sinclair and his new Acme, open the box and self assemble device aren't we?

I think it will be like Wily E Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons. You take out a huge Y shaped device and a huge length of inner tube that you tie to the upright forks of the Y. Operatoin is easy peasy as you insert yourself between the inner tube and the Y and walk slowly backwards building up the tension.

Then with an evil grin on your face you let fly and speed happily into the path of an oncoming goods train.

Do you know what ACME stands for? (without googling ).

Liam.

sorry but as soon as I saw that man i thought of Dr Evil out of Austin Powers

Good old Sir Clive. Some people just don't know when they're beaten.

I've be knighted?

Groovy.

*noise of zooting in on a bicycle wheel with a battery strapped to his hat*
By the power "vested" in me I dub thee Sir Clive, for thy contribution to the sticking plaster industry and the St John Ambulance brigade output figures.

But we might have to rescind it due to your lack of contribution to the hair dressing industry and the impending closure of three Brylcreem wells.

erm..let them eat

Is this a hint as to your new invention? It's sort of wheel shaped. No, It can't be! An edible bicycle?
