Well hear this.
Richie(soon2B) was on his way home through Wandsworth tonight when he rode over a very old Victorian masonary nail... bloody huge. Well after destroying his hugger and thankfully not his engine, he pulled over and asked a bloke looking out the window of his scaffold clad house if he could leave his bike in his drive way... what with it being a Monster of classic Italian design and thus very nickable.
Well, the guy said yes and even helped Richie push the bike into the drive.
Soon after, I received a call at work from a distressed Richie asking for help.... so leaving work, went over to Clapham and picked up two puncture repair kits.
On arriving at the driveway, I met the bloke who had kindly helped Richie and I explained how the puncture repair kit worked, as he seemed genuinely interested.
I then spent the next 5 minutes working out where I knew him from... I so didn't want to say... "You're that bloke off the tele!", I finally worked out he was off Blue Peter.... so I told him that, in case he had forgot... but appologised for not knowing his name... Peter Duncan he replied, I was on the 'Games' recently... which I replied (without engaging Brain), "oh yes you were really good and very competitive" (he pissed everyone off for being so good if I remember rightly)... to which he replied, "Yes, Good for an old guy".
Richie then explained how Ducatis are the best bikes in the world, totally ignoring the fact that Peter had just told him he used to own a Kwak! :rolleyes:
He left me with Richie (Mr I never watch TV) asking "is that bloke famous?", fixing the puncture.
Once the puncture was repaired, Richie knocked at the door to say goodbye and say Thanks. Door opened and :eyepopping: what a babe of a daughter! Highlight of the day.
In conclusion, Peter Duncan is a very kind bloke, a Gent, likes bikes and has a very sexy daughter! (with nice eyes, bodybag).
I still can't believe that Richie didn't know him and we resisted asking for some Sticky Back Plastic for the repair. :mand:
