There's been an old PUSHbike dumped by a bus stop in Kulosaari for about six weeks. Doesn't look as though the police are going to come and take it away. I'm about to go out that way so if it's still there, I'll post details of how to find it when I get back. Seems to be in ok condition from what I can remember.

Hells teeth & Satan's kittens, I only want a sligthly more healthy way to get to work, than the bus

Anyway, ain't none of you ever heard the song that goes:

"... riding along on my pushbike, Honey, a bicycle made for two,
you look so pretty when you're riding alo o o o ong,
you look so pretty when you're singing this so o o ong:
push push, yeah, push push, yeah ..."

1970-something...

Wasn't that sung by Mungo Jerry? or was it Nazareth? I always (for some inexplicable reason) confuse Mungo Jerry with Nazareth...summat to do with the lead singer, I think

It was the 'Mixtures', not Mungo Jerry.

One of us might be showing our ages here, coz even I know that The Scaffold were famous for Lilly the Pink!

Then you must be older than I, as I don't remember THAT song!

Ever the gentleman I...

Yes, it must be me.

But actually, I remember from Tizwaz, where, one of the members of the Scaffold was often a cast member.

Ah Sally James...
