The Republican Randonneurs

Apart from anything else, the average bladder can only stand so much.

I reckon that’s the real reason the privacy screen will be put in place. There will be a royal flunkey with a gazunder.

That's why they're hoping for rain tomorrow, so no one can tell the nobles have wet themselves. The archbishops are OK, though: as they say, a surplice hides a surplus!

thinking about it, did just come off late shift and do have jobs to do around the house,

Now there's something you don't want on your CV.

Don’t be too dismissive; I bet the job comes with a guaranteed gong and a decent pension.

Apart from his bladder problems, Tycho Brahe also had a prosthetic nose, a brass one for the daily chore of mapping the solar system and a gold/silver one for formal occasions. He made seriously accurate astronomic obsevations before the telescope was invented. He decided the sun went round the earth and the other planets round the sun. I bet picking his nose wasn't that much fun either.

Brahe was a scamp! Its a pity he’s not more well know because he was as far from people’s idea of a physicist or astronomer as it’s possible to be. I think there’s a small scale German language film of Kepler and Brahe’s story but it‘s rich enough to handle a proper big screen/netflix version.

If Brahe was at today’s nonsense he’s probably get into a knife-fight with Harry, make a move on Kate and chuck up over Charlie before leaving in the Nigerian head of state’s stolen limo. That I’d watch.

Settled for doing a Zwift ride in a virtual London during the ceremony. Disappointed the latest software update didn't put in golden horse-drawn carriages trying to run you off the Mall.

Lovely sunshine this morning in Norfolk. Fairly quiet roads. Now the ceremony's over, it's starting to rain, just in time for all the royalist picnics!

 

[I like Skol]

I think my plan to escape to Spain worked out ok. I managed to escape the worst of the pomp and ceremony while getting in a 65 mile ride in 28°C+ temperatures and blistering sunshine

You seem to have carried the ceremony with you

Is that a hire bike? If so, how much is it per day/week? (Maybe I will make it back over there some time and if so, I would not be taking my own bike.)

30 miles off-road. Rained all the way. Soaked through, covered in mud - loved it! Very quiet out and about though.
