[Imc-uk-features] hidden

[freethepeeps at aktivix.org]

You know what, you could have made it into a news post in the time it took you
to write this. A newswire full of links is not going to a newswire, its going
to be a list of links.

Heres what I would have done

Talked about the CM coming up on friday, noted that the videos show some early
rides and a whole different attitude to the ride, and given the links.

But hey why not just moan on the list instead

ho hum
