Has Sheffield still got a station that is open?.............

I thought they closed down the rail network in the north years ago..

yebbut - you will not get out!

It's a bit like Royston Vasey oop there Luke...

Sheffield Station looks quite nice

Electric lights and everything

And I think this is my train

I asked for an aisle seat, and I'm not holding out much hope for a buffet service.

I'm glad you have realistic expectations of what you'll come across north of Watford Gap...

Remember to buy lot's of them dust mask's that you southerners like wearing...

And don't forget a grapling hook, just incase you have to leave the station by unconventional methods...

I've got to admit now am a 50/50 for this ride now..

I, somehow, lost or had stolen my wallet, when out clubbing last weekend. Needless to say, my lack or memory is causing issues as to how or when... either way am gutted as it had all my money in for the rest of the month..

Including money to pay for my repaired wheel, new inners and a few bits here and there I need.. Plus i've put a hole in my new front tyre this morning! Arrgh! Trying times!

I have some stuff on ebay, and if they sell in time, ill be fine.. If not, I wont run the risk on this ride.. sorry!

Will keep you all updated..

Where can you find seals in Hounslow Davy?
You only need to get mobile (I know that's an effort).
We'll buy you a pasty up there (there all 'short dated' ones oop North, so they'll be cheap enough.) Oh - and some chips too. They do chips oop North which look like they have been cut from a spud - not made from square spaghetti.
Laying odds on your wallet being prised from your relaxed thigh area would have been difficult for Redjedi Bookmakers Ltd. - but I'm sure everyone is sorry to hear of your misfortune. (Did you look under the bed you woke up in?)
Davy - you're coming. One thing's for sure - you'll not be on the lash next Friday night so there should be no hold ups of an imbibing nature.
And stop carrying cash!
Signed, your friend,

hahaha! I was in Peckham at the time.... or was it new cross.. i dunno.. either way I dont remember leaving the club, getting a donna and chicken pieces, or getting a taxi back... I do remember waking up next to an empty kebab box and some stripped dry chicken bones and a mouth dryer than ghandi's flip flop!

Thanks!

actually, I woke up in a living room, half on a bean bag, half on a wooden floor... with not a single random bird in sight! I didnt move for about 8hrs after that.. . Youf huh!

Well, this is true!!

Ta!

Hi Davy,

Sorry to hear of your loss, I took it on myself years ago only to take the bare minimal with me when I'm out on the lash after ending up in similar situations.

Hope you can still make the ride next week, it will be nice to see how "you lot" (southerner's) cope with proper hills...................

Que - Mac, Teef, Topcat, Luke

I'm sure uncle Teef will see you all right...

I'll have you know that I'll cope with these hills just like I do any others. Fat, wheezing, slowly, in pain and wondering if this is THE END. The only thing that makes them worse is that you always seem to have some 'great' cyclist with you on these rides. You know the type, cheerfully chatting to you, going up hill, as you slowly die!

So you've noticed as well.........

Were going to have to have a word with Teef to stay quiet until the top of the hill........

You'll be fine of the hills Mac, and you've got the incentive of a lovely JPS at the top...

That's because it's been a good few weeks since you were last down South.

But it's good practise for us, for when we get up there
