    I expect he'll be keeping a low profile for a while, after that sort of publicity.

    What you lot don't know is, that without Bill's knowledge, a bunch of us got together sometime in the late eighties and decided that Bill could be King of the couriers, cos none of us wanted the job. We didn't say nuffin' bout no 'godfather' though.

    I would have posted before, but my head got so big I couldn't get into the room where the computer is.

    The guy actually spoke to some people who were, or had been, couriers. Which one of those was dumb enough to mention alleycats to a representative of the national press I have no idea, but it wasn't me. To be fair, he found the London Calling video easily enough, though, didn't he.

    A worse advert for London cycling, and cyclists, it's hard to imagine.

    King of the Couriers? King of the Anarchists, more like.

    So the guy tries to stop 10 cyclists jumping reed lights. 3 of them stop and talk to him, remaining 7 give him some level of abuse. Yet still he blames these 3 for what they're doing - how f****ed up this logic is?

    It's definitely not a piece of objective journalism. Which makes it a bit funny :)

    I like godfather better myself. Bill may your first grandchild be a masculine child.

    The godfather thing is very embarrassing, but I think that Matt Seaton was the first to foist that title on me.

    Although, I *am* godfather to Andy Capp's son, so I am *a* courier godfather...

    thw picture makes me look a mentalist in need of some personal hygiene, though, doesn't it? Hmm.

    I can just see Buff being interviewed, "yeah, i'm referred to as the godfather, though back when i was working they called me the chopper pilot, because i was the top earner and the fastest, even faster than Zack. I guess you could say i'm legendary, yes put that in, legendary controller, i like the sound of that (plays with mo while musing with himself)".

    I wouldn't say whiskers,it's some sort of dead matter that's attached itself to his boat-race.
