Tea? (Part 1)

[Amanda P]

Feel free to muse! Do York council charge for their P+Rs?

Not for the parking. You pay for the bus. It was £1 single, £1.20 return to the centre of town last time I used one, but that was a few years ago.

You can park your car and ride your bike for nothing, though. At one point, they even had some bike lockers at one of the P&Rs, but they seem to have dissappeared again.

Could someone make me some tiffin please I have run out of Teabags!!

Hi All!

<hands tiffin to DJ>

I like your idea Uncle Phil. Sensible, practical, proven.

It'll never happen...

Went out for a spin yesterday, firstly to try out my new commute for timing - only 20 minutes yesterday, including a couple of stops to look at the map. Don't imagine it'll take much longer on a weekday, just be more trafficcy. (Good old York - put the Eco Business Centre in an edge of town industrial area/retail park to put off cyclists...). Then pootled off to see where I ended up. The answer being Wigginton (horrible road out there, won't do that route again), Stamford Bridge, Pocklington, Melborne, Elvington, Weldrake and Escrick (plus points in between). About 38 miles in all, which I'm quite pleased with. Rather sore behind and wrists by the end though. Reckon my legs could have done more, but my bottom was getting... arsey, I suppose. And in all that time, only got nearly killed once, by a car turning right at the Museum St/St Leonards crossroads, when I was almost within sight of home... Well, I say nearly killed, maybe not, but it's lucky my brakes worked well and I was covering them, expecting him to go across me.

And after all that, had a Ceasar salad and cous cous for dinner, how good is that! (makes up for the Jaffa cakes I consumed en route...)

Wotcha! Just got home after a successful forage through Aldi's special offers (one pair of mitts, one of socks) and a trip to A E Butterworth's (my LBS for bits and bobs, I highly recommend them).

Arch, your cable stops should be snail-mailing their way to York even as I type.

Fantastic, thank you. Your name will go onto the list of contributors.

Tea?

 

[Night Train]

Quick brew time I think.

Anyone coming to see me on stage?

 

[Landslide]

Yes please!

I'm just having a little grin at the closing credits of "Police, Camera, Action!"

I'll normally browse it in the hope of seeing various miscreants "accidentally stumble head first onto their bonnets" whilst being "gently restrained" by the boys in blue, but this episode just signed off with the thought for the day "You never know what might be around the next corner!" The accompanying video showed Mrs Duck along with her ducklings, waddling along the road. Followed by a Police Motorcycle escort!

Afternoon, I did step back in amazement at the number of pages added this afternoon, only to then notice that quite a few posts are relatively emp tea.

 

[Speicher]

Pah, Pfft Where's that Davyo?

Really!? Wonder what Speicher's got to say about that!

She should have points deducted from last year's fantasy TdeF and the Vuelta!

And not be allowed in this year's big three, either!

The above quote is from the "Valverde" thread - but I did not want an argument robust discussion spilling over in Racing. We can spill it in Tea? instead.

Would you care to explain yourself?

 

[spandex]

Yer the tunes thread is on the run and we are in hot on there heals

 

[spandex]

When did he wright that ?????

 

[Speicher]

At the beginning of April.

You may not be aware of the extreme ly friendly rivalry that existed between Dayvo and me during the last Giro. (I was second overall.)

Just because he thinks I not know about this?

He chose the wrong day to start an argument with me. I have already broken up two argument between two students, and been decidedly argumentative persuasive with a marketing twerp person who phoned this evening!

 

[Speicher]

Teaspoons at dawn!

 

[spandex]

Can I watch?? sounds like fun

 

[Night Train]

Teaspoons at dawn!
