FNRttC to Brighton March 9th

[Sittingduck]

Could have been me - although I'm fat and 39..... Riding a kaffenback which until it goes into flash summer mode is stock (ie black kit rather than the brown leather it's going to have)

Which one is Burntwood lane? The crossroads at the top of the common? I turn left and then a quick right to go down by the prison.

Crossroads at the top with Trinity Rd. School playing fields on the left and a mini roundabout. Then it goes downhill, with a dodgy part-segregated cycle lane. Across another small RAB and down to a T junction, with Garret Lane at the bottom.

Could well have been me - about 7? I turn off Burntwood onto Sandgate Lane, little cycle lane round the back of the bowls club and onto Lyrford Road down past the prison and cut through down to Wandsworth, not a fan of Garret Lane so try and avoid it where possible (on the way home I'm on it for a k or so before turning up Allfarthing Lane.

I had to look up most of the names of the roads though, I know them by shops/pubs/junctions etc.

 

[Sittingduck]

Yep - prob you then. it would have been at 7am or just before - hello!

Hi! Was that you in front of me at the lights on the bike with the rack then?

I don't think anyone's mentioned this one yet - a long time fave of mine
The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon

Nope, I was coming up Burntwood to the x-roads, about to go straight across down Bellvue Rd

Hopefully I can join in...as a non-participant, enlarging Andy's library.

and Ms Furtado uttering those sacrosanct words @1:29

After all, everything happens on a Saturday, right?

A track I opened my radio show last night with, only for the reason that it charted exactly 50 years ago this week -
Sam Cooke - twisting the night away
When I played it, I realised I hadn't heard it for a long long while, and forgotten what a great song it is.
(Wasn't it in the soundtrack to Innerspace, over the closing credits?)

 

[Aperitif]

Shame it wasn't 5am Cooke, Charlie - could be dedicated to Greg &Co at The Madeira!

A track I opened my radio show

Hey Charlie, now then, now then, if you're going to play that sort of stuff, how can we hear this show?
