[Reynard]

F1 listened to, cats fed and jacket tatties are in the oven.

Now to just finish off this chapter of my project and move onto the next one.

 

[Reynard]

What is up with Channel 4? They just announced the result of the GP without any warning . I don't mind but some people would be livid ! The rest of this evening's programmes on that channel are either repeats or Carp ! The amount of advertising they would sell during the GP surely would be a lot more if they put it on earlier . .

They have to wait a certain amount of time after the race finishes before putting the highlights on FTA TV. Four hours, I believe.

Yes I was really unhappy when I saw that! I had planned watching and now I won`t bother. It`s inexcusable!

You'll miss a lot if you don't.

Besides, you could always have listened to it on the radio, like I did

I can understand that they want the World to know they have an "exclusive" result but they could warn people! Talk about spoiler alerts!

I've been to Suffolk, where I got exceedingly muddy. I'm now home again and about to taste my first coffee of the day.

Did you go a bit too far east and end up in the marshes?

 

[Jenkins]

My washing machine is getting annoyed at me not emptying it immediately as it's been beeping regularly for the past couple of minutes. Doesn't it know I've got a forum to read?

 

[Reynard]

My right shoulder blade is itchy.

I'm no help to you. I've just trimmed my fingernails... Sorry

If that is the case they should start the races earlier !

And keep the Brazilians away from their morning coffee?

In amongst the rushes near Iken. Really cleggy mud. But there was some warmth in the sun, far more than you could hope for in mid-November.

Wouldn't stop them saying who'd won though. ITV did the same when they were showing it. Giving the result, then showing the race. Even Sky have done it this year.

Pit lane has been closed off, whilst the sniffer dogs are allowed to do their job.

Bloo@# french have been practicing for next year's Tour de France I see

 

[Hover Fly]

I sent Hover Fly out for a loaf. He came back with a loaf and a bike frame.

It’s an odd one. Card on the Booths noticeboard said “Raleigh racing bike frame£30” so I rang, not expecting much .Bloke didn’t know much, was his brothers, went to see it and first thing I noticed was chrome forks and stays, then the sloping 531 transfer. Frame no. Says late Worksop 1979 year but can’t find an exact match in any catalogues. Racy-looking geometry but mudguard eyes. Can only guess a special build.
