<?php
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR', './magpie_cache');
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_ON', 1);
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_AGE', 600);

require_once('appinclude.php');

require_once('rss/rss_fetch.inc');
$rss = @fetch_rss('http://www.pushbikearmy.co.uk/main/index.php/feed/');

$fbml = '<div style="margin:0 10px 0 10px;">';
$fbml .= '<table border="0" width="100%" style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"><tr><td valign="top" width="80%"><a href="'.$rss->channel['link'].'" style="font-weight: bold;">'.$rss->channel['title'].'</a></td><td valign="top" width="80%"><fb:share-button class="meta">
  <meta name="medium" content="blog"/>
  <meta name="title" content="'.htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($rss->channel['title'])).'"/>
  <meta name="description" content="'.htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($rss->channel['description'])).'"/>
  <link rel="target_url" href="'.$rss->channel['link'].'"/>
</fb:share-button></td></tr></table>';


foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
        $fbml .= '<div style="border-bottom: 2px solid #CCCCCC; padding-bottom:5px;"><br><div style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #CCCCCC; border-top: 1px dotted #CCCCCC;"><table border="0" width="100%" style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"><tr><td valign="top" width="80%"><a href="'.$item['link'].'" style="font-weight: bold;">'.$item['title'].'</a></td><td valign="top" width="80%"><fb:share-button class="meta">

Remove the @s from the code, and you will see better errors.
