Stuff Used<\/b><\/p>\n
– 2pr jocks (yes, I wear one pair a few times, cringe away clean-freaks! :P)<\/p>\n
– 1pr shorts (short, quick-drying, synthetic ones I bought in TKMaxx, London)<\/p>\n
– 1pr cargo pants (from Oz, used when it gets cold, with thongs for that Classy Aussie(tm) look)<\/p>\n
– 1 fleecy jumper (as above)<\/p>\n
– 2 shirts (Olive Stussy one rapidly wearing out and Nike “Get Addicted” one which went down a treat with the dope-fiends in Utrecht!)<\/p>\n
– 1pr Croydon Cycleworks knicks<\/p>\n
– 1 Croydon Cycleworks jersey (my red one, coz it goes faster)<\/p>\n
– 1pr Polypropylene socks (yes, just one pair, sometimes I have to ‘dress wet’)<\/p>\n
– Gloves (old, falling apart)<\/p>\n
– Helmet (usually)<\/p>\n
– SPD shoes (fit better than other shoes but still crush toes a bit)<\/p>\n
– Ill-fitting thongs (flip-flops NOT a g-string you pommy fsckers!)<\/p>\n
– Ill-fitting runners (crush feet)<\/p>\n
– “Dave’s freebie” sunnies<\/p>\n
– Soap (yes, REALLY!)<\/p>\n
– Speedo chamois towel (15 fuggin quid worth!)<\/p>\n
– Toothbrush\/Toothpaste<\/p>\n
– Nail clippers<\/p>\n
– Combo knife\/spoon\/fork tool (For stabbing people and eating yoghurt)<\/p>\n
– 40gb ipod (For motivation and pure wank factor.. drool away bitches!)<\/p>\n
– Nokia 6210 mobile phone (yes, the blighter is still kickin’!)<\/p>\n
– Map of France<\/p>\n

Stuff Added<\/b><\/p>\n
– Ill-fitting thongs (flip-flops NOT a g-string you pommy fsckers!)<\/p>\n
– Ill-fitting runners<\/p>\n
– CF card reader (I did have one already but it was in the form of a portable cd burner and too big\/heavy)<\/p>\n
– Sunscreen (would you believe I took 2 tubes to London and left both there only to get fried in Europe?)<\/p>\n
– Lip balm (see Sunscreen)<\/p>\n
– Vitamin E cream (makes me legs look sexier)<\/p>\n
– Antiseptic cream (stops my feet falling off due to thong-induced wounds)<\/p>\n

– Map of Netherlands (their signage is good, not perfect)<\/p>\n
– Teflon Lube (for the _chain_ you perverts!)<\/p>\n
– Compact umbrella<\/p>\n
Stuff Not Used<\/b><\/p>\n
– Too much of it remains unused because I’ve always found a bed and it’s not cold and I’ve had no mechanicals thus far.<\/p>\n
Stuff Removed<\/b><\/p>\n
– London A-Z<\/p>\n
– Maps for each town and promo flyers, etc.<\/p>\n
– I’ll probably post back a bunch of receipts, LP guide or two, some maps, etc..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
