FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Whitstable, 15th August

[GrumpyGregry]

Beer you mean

I find myself on some strange kind of wagon...

 

[srw]

I am in need of mind bleach.

Not as much as those of us who have seen it.

 

[rvw]

Not as much as those of us who have seen it.

It was employed at a point when I was feeling pretty grim - and I suppose it did provide a useful counter-irritant... At least on the back of the tandem it doesn't matter too much if I close my eyes in horror.

 

[iLB]

Flying back on the 14th, buzzing for this ride!

Ian McShane?

I can't f***ing wait!

...I'm struggling to imagine those words spoken in the character of Don Logan in Sexy Beast.

Which words? There were so many:

 

[User10571]

Indeed.
With Don Logan nowhere to be seen.
It matters not - the words are as scary, if not more so, than the man.

 

[anothersam]

Indeed.
With Don Logan nowhere to be seen.

Not quite separated at birth. It must've been the specs that threw you.

Possibly the crappest photoshop job the world has ever seen, with an Exorcist effect thrown in for good measure, but it was a bit of a rush job.

PS. That the profane beast and the pacifist were both played by the same actor was a juxtaposition I couldn't pass up.

And Ian McS was in it too! Oh joy.

That's Sexy Beast, not Gandhi, unless he captured the essence of Nehru so brilliantly I didn't notice.

Two Stuart Cs?

 

[dellzeqq]

Two Stuart Cs?

.........can be swapped for one Stuart A

 

[StuAff]

Is this some bizarre form of Top Trumps™?

Mornington Crescent would be more appropriate I think....

 

[Dogtrousers]

In a fit of keenness I just did my bike checks - just to be sure, as I'm planning to use my posh bike. I was confident that everything was ready anyway, so what could I possibly find? Well ...

I removed a few small bits of flint from the tyres. And my brake blocks are on their last legs. Fair enough.

Then I looked in my toolkit. I discovered that one of my spare tubes was a schrader-valved one for my wife's hybrid and the other was an uber skinny one with a hole in it that must be left over from my friend puncturing - it's certainly not mine. Boy would I have been popular if I'd tried to fix a puncture with those.

Check your spares!

As I may have difficulty containing my impulse to view this thread as a canvas for further photo opportunities involving Sir Ben K. and Ian McS[hane], possibly also involving Top Trumps, I have decided to start a gallery on my own site. It's for the best.

Sam, any progress on your FNRttC Exhibition? It's been a while since that thread....

 

[anothersam]

I decided not to pursue that. The FNRttC entry remains here, with the Unauthorised Biography on the shelf beside it.
