Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

Well, that's all nice and clear

I tend to build my rides around where I can get food and drink, and what types are available, and links between such places. Frinstance, I'll do a totally different ride for a fast coffee drinker who likes bacon rolls, or a slower tea drinker who likes cake, even if it's a 20 mile loop starting and finishing at my front door.
It does help that I've been living in the same part of the world since I was 15, so I've done every single road within 30 miles of here in both directions. At least once.

I've got the rest of it mesmerised. It's all about context. Honest.

We're going to Ilminster to partake of the caffeinated beverages and unhealthy grub at the Arts Centre. This is the third ride I've led and I'm hoping I get a break this time. 21 on my first (meep!) and 19 on the second. Less than 10 would be ideal.

Good Lord.

I'm more comfortable leading rides of under a dozen.
Our local CTC rides can get over 40, which makes it vital to win the Pub Sprint
I may have my limitations, but I can win a half mile sprint by virtue of high speed acceleration and low cunning.
It's first to the bar that counts. If that means I ride in through the front door then so be it.

 

[coffeejo]

That's not quite the way I put it, but my eyes were doing something similar.

Whilst the most I've competed with 22 others, my tactics are about being first to the table, getting a decent seat and then waiting til the queue dies down before getting my drink.

 

[TheDoctor]

My way, there's time for 2 drinks.
And you get a table, cos everyone else is forming an untidy queue scrum at the bar.
Table + beer + peanuts + fire = WIN

I'm guessing it's not WIN if you drop your nuts in the fire...

On that note, I'd better head off for bed.

You never know, CJ, he might like roasted nuts.

Morning!

Things are complimacated. My keyboard on the laptop is still not quite working - I'm missing d,i,o,t and u. The eagle eyed among you will see those letters in this post, which is because I'm using a borrowed full sized USB keyboard plugged into my little laptop.

Mousing is still done via the laptop keypad, which is the confusing bit....

We're going to whip the keyboard out again and try another cleaning tactic. Still, it seems likely that it's only the keyboard, which can be replaced more cheapy than the whole laptop....

 

[Arch]

And yes, before anyone points it out, the missing letters spell a message to anyone who manages to upend a glass of beer over a computer.

U idiot.

 

[Speicher]

I use a "laptop" on a desk. With a fullsize keyboard, and mouse. I find very difficult to trype quikly on a mini keyboard.

You might then need a BUS if you need to print things.

(Yes, I have to be very careful not to eat the mouse, when I get peckish.)

Afternoon

Been out on a 16 miler this morning, all offroad, lovely and sunny out there.
Lots of joggers and dog walkers to avoid, even managed to miss the big black poodley type thing that wanted a good sniff of my front wheel

Pint of tea coming up.

They say that cats begin to look like their owners, or is it the other way round?

At the Vets yesterday, Tasha (Yar) was told that she should lose weight. Her target, set by the Vet, is to lose one kilo which is one sixth of her body weight, over the next twelve months. She is regarded as overweight rather than obese.

Aaannnyway, I did some sums, and guess who also needs to lose one sixth of their body weight.

 

[potsy]

You have to lose a kilo too?

 

[Speicher]

I wish it was only a kilo that I needed to lose!

I think you are erroneous by a factor of at least ten.

*Looks up the meaning of erroneous*

Ah, think it means something else to what I was thinking, to do with 'zones'

Roll on 10pm when all the horrible things I've written about you on the other forum will be permanently deleted

You have forgotten what an excellent memory I have!
The 'orrible things you said to me on this forum will be transported to the next forum.
