I was more worried about the bikes:

“My eye, Dad! My eyeeee!!!”

A water fight at 130psi – as my gran used to say; “it's all fun and nonsense until someone loses an eye”

Damn fun though.

PML! That's fantastic. “Ride boldly up to your assailant's side, leap bravely from your machine full upon him.”

Re: Your chinese crime foiling cyclist, someone must have sent you this vintage guide to self protection whilst on a bicycle;

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jimmy_fatwing/Self...

"How you may Best Defend Yourself when Attacked by Modern Highwaymen, Showing how you should Act when Menaced by Foot-pads, when Chased by another Cyclist, and when Attacked under various other Circumstances; Showing, also, how the Cycle may be used as a Weapon."

See also this, from the Jackie Chan film "Project A", which is probably the definitive use of a bike in self defence.

Hi Will,

John deals with the show notes and says he'll have them up tomorrow. The poor bloke has been working horrendous hours trying to deliver mail in more than 2 foot of snow recently – a task I don't envy in the slightest!

Yes, Eddie Almighty is back and I'll make sure not to be so lax as to ever leave him out in the future

Cheers,

Scott.

Looking for the "show notes" for this podcast - I'd like to follow up on a few of the items discussed, but didn't catch the website addresses...

Great to see, err... hear that Eddy is back in the open of the show!

Thanks!
