Hey people,
I am trying to encourage people to fill in this quick survey for Haymarket who I'm working for this week. It only takes a couple of minutes and you can win a prize too.

You would be very awesome if you did (and even better if you've done so already)

Reading MAG staged a bike show today at Reading Abbey Rugby Club, two days after their Easter Egg run in which bikers with the Thames Valley Vultures rode to benefit local hospices.
The show saw avid bikers arriving from all across the county to display their bikes, trikes, and 'other'. The car park of the club was quickly filled with a range of bikes, glittering lines where spotless Harley Davidson's lined up next to mud splattered Yamaha's while a range of old Triumph's stood aside holding dominion over all other bikes. Sadly the lines were invaded by a series of grotesque Kawasaki's to which a stranger loudly stated "I hate these. They're fucking ugly."
With the exception of a series of classic, pristine Harley's the real pride of the show were the bikes entered into the competition. Ranging from an incredible Harley with a skeleton riding bitch with some ape hangers I doubt I could even reach, to some gaudy neon-orange rape victim of a bike. So gaudy I even refused to take a picture of it. The two custom trikes with no owners in site grabbed my attention quickly with cobra gears and unique seat stitching.
But really the bike of the day was a custom Harley with an orange and check finish.
Raced in Hell was ingrained into the paintwork and for my money there wasn't a more respectable or beautiful custom in the bunch although I can't the deny the bumpy frame of the tiny yellow Yamaha Fizzy did catch my eye.
But sadly not a suicide shift in sight.

New species of crab found!
A story in my local paper caught my eye today.
A new species of crab was discovered by a man walking his dog on a beach down in Cornwall I think it was...anyway this specific crab (which is now known through the town as Shelly) has evolved to walk forwards. No more pesky scutling sideways. I started to think there was something slightly odd about the story when I saw that Waitrose has pledged money to a local firm to help them investigate this new species.
I thought that was really good. We find a creature that has evolved (that's right you lot from the God Sqaud EVOLVED) to better suit the conditions in which we live, and here is a supermarket pledging money to help it survive.
Sorry, my mistake, Waitrose actually want rights to sell the crab which they have deemed to be tastier than ordinary crabs. Simply because this crab can walk forwards. What the fuck people? Yes I am a vegetarian but no I really don't care if you eat meat - but honestly. We find a new species of something and our first thought is not "oh my God, a new species, lets study it", it is sadly "EAT IT, EAT IT, EAT IT....why isn't it in my stomach yet?"
We are so very fucking strange.
