Relax my friend. Look in to my eyes....you are feeling sick sleeeeeeepy....

Dang, there's not much that would stop me FNRttC'ing but I've just been made an offer I can't refuse for 30/4 & 1/5 so I must, regretfully, withdraw.

Ach! Damn those Pre-Papal recces Greg...they throw a spanner in the works at ther most inopportune times!

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Indeed. But the lure of fine wine and fine dining and a fine bed for the night at someone else's expense as a 'mystery shopper' - say no more - is too much for me to resist.

 

[Aperitif]

Jammy sod - have fun!

Here's a little suggestionette for a ride back to London. There are some very nice rural sections to that.

Great route passes a mile from my front door Ockendon Road past Stubbers is a bit of a nightmare. Cars speed along there and there have been plenty end up in the ditches. Fenn Lane, just before that, must be one of the nice rural sections you mean.

Nice one wow - I fancy to view the Thames Barrier Park, just a mere hiccough to the left of your route...

Damn - I'm now going to be away for this one. :-(

Ben - my disappointment knows no bounds. Repeat after me:

"Sorry, I can't do that date - it's the FNRttC". There, you see - easy!*

*You'll note that I'm assuming you're merely jet-setting off somewhere for a bit of high-class snappery. If in fact you're cancelling in order to visit sick relatives or something, then of course I'll eat my words. In fact - have a contrite and embarrassed smiley in advance:

I tried to repeat that but had trouble with the pronunciation.

In fact - have a contrite and embarrassed smiley in advance:

I have filed it away for a time when you really should offer one but won't.

Ha! Effenarteeteeceee? You know you're in trouble when your predictive text recognises FNRttC...

I'm afraid smilies are strictly non-transferable.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Ha! Effenarteeteeceee?

Sounds more plausible than the fnurtuhtuhck that I tried.

I'm afraid smilies are strictly non-transferable.

I regret to advise that once a smiley has been officially received and filed, it is no longer the property of the sender and may be stored and deployed as the recipient sees fit.

I quite agree, but then the deployer becomes the author of its meaning, in a provisional and strictly-in-the-textual instance kinda way. I should warn you that it's a mistake to take me on on the subject of intertextuality. *

*this particular winking smiley was once deployed inappropriately by LinfordLunchBox, and induced a wave of nausea in Dellzeqq - I would be very careful what you do with it, if I were you.

Looks like I'll be at the front again from the City through Ilford.

Davy, if you stick with me at the front for a bit you may be lucky and find me pointing out a 24-7 'burger barn' just the other side of Whitechapel. You might just have enough time to grab a kebab or burger before the TECs roll by.
