Mice a great write up.

Tell you what, you promise to try to contemplate the notion of considering phasing in a strategy of reducing the amount of going on about it, and I will get you a jumper. Now quite how long will the sleeves need to be?

"Promise to consider phasing in a strategy of reducing" the amount of time Martin goes on about this incident? That sounds a little undemanding - surely you meant "immediately institute a policy of complete silence and zero whinging about aforementioned incident upon pain of severe mockery and sarcasm by all[1] who have been forced to endure the constant whingery".

And surely the jumper in question needs to be one in which the sleeves are very long, wrap around, have no openings for hands and are tied together round the back?

[1] That is, the entire population of the Earth.

I sometimes wonder why I bother trying to communicate with a degree of subtlety.

Well, quite. Martin doesn't do subtlety, remember?

 

[Wobblers]

He might but if we never explore the idea we shall never find out.

I admire your optimism.

Nope I can confirm that I don't. Seems a bit like moderation, pointless

 

[martint235]

OK fair enough, here goes

STOP GOING ON ABOUT THE TIME YOU GOT ****ED IN DIEPPE AND ENDED UP IN A&E. IT IS LONG PAST TIME TO LET IT GO. GOT IT?

Ok if you can fill in the gap between pastis with 'Teef and talking to a nurse.

Had another fantastic time on Lon - Paris 2013 ! with the Friday's thanks to you all, 1st time on Lon - Paris.
Lezeyne boots work so well even after "Stoney Lane". The weather was very hot that I have tan lines , rather the sun than the rain. Staying at Saint Saëns was magical along with the ride to Gisors, I still have not got the touring luggage thing yet , knowing that you have to carry it all should be enough to learn,
Had a lovely relaxing day and journey home with @Agent Hilda and @dellzeqq, thanks for another favorite trip.
@StuartG thanks for sorting out the accommodation!
Also I have better thoughts of Paris than previous occasions, I want to go back !

Hello! Indeed you can! Am v flattered!

Mice

 

[Wobblers]

@McWobble I don't think the degree of subtlety is relevant here.

Well, all I can recommend is a full frontal lobotomy. Have you got a tin opener?

Relax Martin, this won't hurt (me) a bit...

Interesting photos, Michael.

^ Impressive pitch on that roof! Brickwork coursing mid-window etc is a nice touch too. Needs a uPVC porch though, to add a bit of 'Jenny sais quoi'

 

[Aperitif]

The windows are all UPVC.

Really? Non-u I'd a thought.

Here's what's at the other end of the drive (pix from last year):

I'm particularly fond of a bit of half mansard.
