The Bicyclists Contemplate 2022 and the Beyond
It is a fine summer's day on 23rd December 2022, as the bicyclists (does that mean they are LQBTI+ and ride 'bikes' as we used to call them?) met to reflect on the calendar year 2022, at their usual cafe, the Jet Service Station. It was noticeable that the café had transmogrified, with a bench seat, and more open cash register area, and the prices had climbed to $5.50 for a standard cup of coffee. I expected a gift of a bottle of 12 year old (at least) Rum in acknowledgement to our group's fidelity. "Ask not what Little Miss can do for you..." (apologies to JF Kennedy) An uncertain year in some respects, the man above (Image) reflects the bicyclists' work ethic for 2022, and what lies in store for the future. Chief amongst those under the hammer in 2022 was Merv, pictured here endeavouring to hear Stephen from the other side of the table, under the dictatorship of P Larkey, telling us "shhhoosh, we are all shouting".
