FBOTY Trophy

<fx:tumbleweed>

 

I'm erring on the side of Champ being funny, rather than whoosed so easily.

 

We were?

 

Exactly. Riding is a pleasure! when you get taken out of it for a few
months it hits home.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, ginge

Booooooo.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Who's going to knock the beer over?

Who's going to be involved in an RTA in a comedy stylee?

You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

The good news is: it's not too late. Places are available.

<grits teeth>

I'll even buy you a half.

Be there, or forever hang your little ginga head in shame.

****'s sake! We've even arranged for you to not be the only deformed
person on tour.

What more can we do?

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

 

What the Ewok said.

 

Fucking hell, is it a leap year again?

?

 

Well, it's a fucking disgrace, and no mistake.

I'll even club together with Nige so we can buy you a whole pint.

 

I'm very grateful, but suspect you should have said "trying to be
funny".

 

Steady there WUN.

 

Now that's unkind. I'm sure it's not been 4 years since WUN bought
someone a drink.

 

So, now you're coming on your own, are you going to follow the others
down the autoroute, or come play with me on the twisty bits near Rouen?

 

The latter, obviously. Any other takers, do you think?

 

I might well be up for that.

You fucking girl.

Some of us poor saps have to fly in for these jaunts, and
birthdays ...

Point of order, a *table full* of beer

It could be a trip of several firsts. I even had an inkling that TOG
might buy me a beer when I was pleading dire poverty to him.

<too lazy to google mode>

Did you already post a proposed route and do you have a sense for how
much longer in terms of time it would make the journey?

 

Laughable direct route via Paris
http://tinyurl.com/crbsne
373km, 3h 58m

Boring route via Rouen
http://tinyurl.com/cy79uo
415km, 4h 58m

Boring route with a brief detour to find some wiggly bits
http://tinyurl.com/ddskjm
428km, 6h 2m

All figures from Google, so with minimal or zero fag breaks and a degree
of enthusiastic progress-making on the autoroutes those times should
come tumbling down. A bit. We have about six hours from disembarkation
at Calais to dinner in Pithiviers.

Other than the brief detour via Rouen, I can't actually find a way to
make the journey to the hotel anything less than a four hour motorway
slog but, given the rather humdrum nature of the roads near Pithiviers,
it has to be worth a shot.

 

Thanks. I'd be up for the more interesting route, will discuss with bro.

 

Thanks chaps, but I can't get the time off at short notice now anyway,
you'll just have to have a drink for me.
