Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

I'd kind of like Number 5 to be true...

Mornings! Kettle's on!

I like the one about Royal Mail Night Trains.

I tried to read about the "Night Train to Zurich" but it was difficult, because it is white on black, and now I have got black horizontal lines in front of my eyes on this screen.

A mug of buiders tea please.

Just cooked for 40 Buddhist monks and I have to go shopping for animal food for our sanctuary this afternoon.

But, I have the weekend off and I'm heading to gay Pari'

*Builders Tea for Cookie!*

There is a Buddist retreat not 5 miles from us here in rural Ireland.
It is always a treat to be wandering around the hardware store in the nearest 'Father Ted' type town and bumping into monks.
It is the norm to pick up hitch hikers in these parts and for the most part it is people going up to the retreat who are a pleasure to have along for the ride.

Have a lovley time in Paris BTW.

 

[Speicher]

You have done all that cooking, and no one made you any tea?

Builders' tea is being brewed. It will be ready in about ten minutes, that's how strong they like their tea, I think.

Cookie monster. I know that there is a Newspaper in France which is aimed at people whose second language is French. I think it is called Courrière, or something very similar. If you see a copy, could you let me know the proper name. I have searched the internet, without success.

I have seen it at airports, but not found it at the Newstands at Airports.
It is a tabloid size. I would like to obtain some copies to practice my French on. It is written in slightly easier French than the main ones in France, and also covers a lot of foreign news. If you see one left lying around, at airports, as they sometimes are, you will see what I mean.
I think it is only published on week days.

I use it to practice my French too.

Right...I have visions of someone winding the propeller backwards for about 45 minutes. Unless we built a catapult-launched glider.

Nah, you rig up a gadget to an electric drill and wind it that way, or at least you do with the smaller models.

I've got some balsa wood, if it helps?

This could turn into a rather eclectic vehicle...

 

[tdr1nka]

It can't be eclectic, that would require heavy batteries.
*A cornacopia of Builders Tea for CM!*

Thank you so much for that. I had located it last year, and then mislaid the info.

 

[Arch]

Looks good - I might try and get up to speed a bit more using that too...

 

[Night Train]

M is visiting again tonight so I won't be on line much (if at all) and I will be demonstraiting that my user name isn't No 4.

Surely our project should be pedal powered. We could have a V12 arrangement of forum members facing each other all pedalling fantically on a crank shaft with the prop attached to the front end.

Just picked my bike up for a checkover before piling on the miles this weekend. It turns out that apart from the rim needing truing that I broke the axle and LBS workers was going on about yes you can ride it for a bit, you'd experience a lot of loss of power (and I'm thinking yes tick that, thinking I was unwell).

 

[Arch]

Night Train, you want a sort of V12 arrangment? How about this?

Even comes with inflight refueling system...

 

[marinyork]

Flaming heck Arch you don't miss a trick, razor sharp mind. Looks pretty stylish too. Wonder what beer capacity it can take.
