FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast Brighton July 15th 2011

'Teef is sending out mixed messages about the ride back!

I think you are right about tickets. Apparently that market has been cornered by a Swansea-based hedge fund which is rumoured to be looking to take its profits via a complex and sophisticated yellow beer swap strategy.

Edit - cross posted with another mixed message!

Ahem! I thiink "thoughtfully reserved for fellow FNRttCers" was the phrase you were looking for...

Marega and Gareth conned into a ride to Brighton with the promise of free ride back to London eh?

Why should poor old Greg (the nice looking one - not Greg Collins) be left alone at the Madeira after breakfast? A question to ask perhaps, loads of black-jerseyed riders lounging all over his terrace tables burping away, talking about gear ratios, Horatios and potatios, in the form of chips that come by the plateful as nidday approaches. I need a ticket back or a reason to leave. I like the Madeira!

Only if you can give a categorical assurance that no yellow beer will be involved in the unwinding of your long position...

You have all the best chat-up lines Frank...

Pretty much. Right, I've scanned my correspondence on the subject, and I find that I have six tickets (with bike reservations, natch) for the 13:19. That's Gareth, Meg, Andy, Evey and me, leaving one up for grabs/swaps/bribes.

Ooooo how much is that in terms of beer?? Please can I apply for the ticket?

The bike reservations are worthless.

just sayin'.

The nice looking one serves sausages.
The bad looking one looks like a sausage.
Another Greg hails a cab to climb Ditchling
This Greg hurls a bit having done so.

Sorted.

Can we have black beer to match the Jerseys? Oh! Mister. Porter?

Cor! All my preamble counts for nothing. Just goes to show... Anyway, I'm a serious cyclist.

I can't work out whether Teef's already nabbed it. It's mostly guesswork. My translator is on holiday in Germany.

I disagree. They may not guarantee much but they give you an air of righteousness when refusing to be bullied by some jobsworth or other. I'm hoping the guard on the 13:19 is the same one Simon, Adam and I met on a memorable earlier occasion...

Teef tells me that the spare ticket has an "M" on it.



So all you have to do is arm-wrestle the two Martins for it.

The Saturday jobsworths on the Brighton line must be the callow craven sort if they are swayed by an air of righteousness and a small rectangle of orange card.

I've got about a thousand small rectangles of orange card, and I'm not afraid to use them...

The only decent reservations these days have casinos built on them.
