I was the one that you know

Courtesy of a very silly viral ad website, I bring you: Yearbook Art through the ages. I think I prefer 1956 on balance. :-)

Also, I've just noticed quite how young I look in my userpic (November 1999). Sigh.

Brompton World Championships

I was about to ask if any of my Brompton-wielding LJ-friend fancied entering the Brompton World Championships at Blenheim Palace on the 28th of September.

But then I noticed the following sentence in the T&Cs:

"For health and safety reasons, it is an absolute condition of participation that a helmet is to be worn."

My views on this and yours, if different, aside (no flamewars please!), would this put any of you off attending, if indeed you're interested? Would you be interested despite this? Interested in testing the wording of the rules? It doesn't say which body part you have to wear the helmet on, after all...

It's a pity. I'd never really got into organised cycling events, but I was all up for giving this one a go.
