It's not a circular lock - it's pins and a big bolt on a length of wire. It's a 'centreparcs' brand, and I'd hope it was an easy pick as they give these things away when you hire a bike for £1. Since centreparcs like to keep costs low and profits high, this can't be a particularly good quality bike lock!
(centreparcs is a holiday resort btw, not a locksmithing operation for you USA ppl!)
I lost my keys a few days ago, so I guess it's a good starter lock - if I muck it up, no problems. I can take a photo if you like, but it's not especially interesting...

hehe, got tired picking it with my small diamond so I got out the rake
My heart skipped a beat when I heard the click - I thought I'd snapped my tension wrench!

I can do it in a second now I know how much tension to put in - I can't believe how easy it was once I got it right!

2nd sign of madness. 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

Palms will never sport hair, nor will they scar.
That is the dumbest off-topic I ever heard.

My suprise was because typicaly the saying is if you have hairy palms, you have become a little too curious about your body, if you get what im saying.
