Arrivals at the Ball...

[Arch]

Bring me the thread of Alfredo Garcia....

Sorry, wrong game. Oh, to digress a little further, I saw a car game at the weekend, in which you have cards with station names on, and you lay them down a bit like dominoes, but instead of matching numbers you match the last three letters of the preceding name. The aim being to be able to use the first card laid down for your move and hence complete the circle, as it were. They were just mainline stations, but how good would it be if they were tube stations!

Anyway, as you were....

Arch,

Someone had to do it (I was tempted myself with Alfredo Garcia), wonder if we could start a cycling version of Mornington Crescent?

 

[Noodley]

Making an entrance are Mr and Mrs Band-Playdon and their son Andy

 

[Maz]

Mr & Mrs Singh and their circus tight-rope walking son, Balan.

 

[Noodley]

Hot on the heels of the Singhs are the Pahpah family, accompanied on Tuba by their son Oom.

 

[Noodley]

And who is this? I believe it could be Mr and Mrs Wring although they do not appear to be striding out very purposefully, accompanied of course by their daughter Wanda.

 

[Noodley]

It's a real international affair, next to make an appearance from Germany are Mr and Mrs Troffobya and their son Klaus. I'm surprised to see him at such a packed event.
