By request of one Mr. Paul Comaish, he wanted me to write about the use of drugs in Cycling from the 1950’s to the present day and how it has changed in terms of what happens if you are caught.

Well, this was an excuse he told me to talk to me and shoe horn in a wonderful story about one man who died from a combination of Coca-Cola, Whiskey and Amphetamines.

Well it’s just not the done thing these days as everyone takes the cycling seriously and as a result would only be interested in drugs which they cannot test for yet. Honestly. Not like back in the good ol’ days when there was no money in the sport and therefore people didn’t care how much calpol you had the seconds before the race.

And you could drink and ride at the same time. Some would say that is an improvement over what you can do now, but alas poor campers, it is not good if you can not even stand up straight let alone cock one leg over the bike to go somewhere and steer in a reasonably straight line.

Drugs bad, cycling good. Here endeth the lesson, and remember kids, stay in school.

Granted this sorted of (insert suitable swear word here) is not up to my sort of usual standards, some of you are still reading this which means I am not writing enough drivel to drive you away just yet.

I could start again instantly about the weekend’s happenings (despite my update on Sunday), how family tends to annoy and you can’t find a decent car parking space in Barkshire. I don’t why Barkshire, it’s just sounds good. But it was during the conversation with the Comaish, that he asked do I take requests?

Requests to write blog posts about a particular subject that the reader may be concerned about. Well they would be, I couldn’t give a elbow about it and would in some way find something to utterly destroy the subject at hand.

So I will open up the forum here. What do you, the discerning readers want to read about, or even hear about courtesy of the “Often late and quite surprising when it turns up” podcast? (that’s the new working title btw!) By all means, please add comments here or email me and I will be more than happy to laugh at your expense and destroy all reasonable arguments with silly words such as chair and mongoose.
