This weekend's celebrations

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Dr Ivan D. Reid, Mar 22, 2009.

  1. 1/16th-scale photos from Bedfordshire are in the directory

    http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~eesridr/Bonwick50/ -- if you know what I'm
    talking about just do a recursive wget of the directory. Total<1 MiB.
    Full versions available on request -- the one of the Witches of Eaton looks
    rather scary at full-size!

    Made it home without too much drama. Seems that on Sundays
    there's only one line and the expresses get held up behind the stopping
    trains so I took the slow train starting from Bedford to get a seat this
    time. Only real problem was that the West Ruislip Central line trains
    were held up for 30 mins or so (wait indicator flipping between 5 and 6
    minutes the whole time), leaving me waiting at Holborn. Left chez Bonwick
    at 1150, caught the 1238 train; home at 1605, having done Tesco's in
    Uxbridge on the way.

    I'll try to remember to check for TfL engineering works next time
    I'm using the Tube at the weekend...

  9. Well, it wasn't quite meant to be like that, but these bloody
    modern cameras with their red-eye-reduction preflash allow things to move
    (or people to turn their heads away) before the actual photo is taken.
    IIRC it was supposed to be a picture focussing on the third person in shot,
    but by the time it was taken, Snowy had moved her head into shot and her
    hand onto Tracy(?)'s breast, while Tracy also moved her hand into shot as
    well. I kept it for its novelty value...
    Oh, likewise, midear, definitely likewise! Nice to finally meet
    Snowy too. Funnily enough, she's almost a twin to a Dutch colleague on CMS,
    even down to the red hair[1] and personality.

    [1] Tho' hers[2] isn't so curly.
    [2] Actual name redacted in case of preverts.

    a few. We're all getting older, though.

    My point was sort of along the lines of - and I'm sure you all had a
    fantastic time[1] and everything - and perhaps it's just Ivan's pics -
    but it all looks so....middle aged and boring.

    [1] most so than my saturday night anyway, staying sober and then
    pissing into a 1.5 litre bottle for 24 hours between 08:00 on Sunday
    and this morning[2]
    [2] fucking doctors.

    I dunno, there was vomiting and everything. It's not a party until
    somebody starts throwing up.

    It's not a party until:

    * somebody starts throwing up
    * someone's having noisy sex on a pile of other people's coats in the
    spare room
    * someone rides a motorbike through the house
    * someone passes out face-down in someone else's vomit
    * the police are called by irate neighbours
    * a door is kicked in
    * someone demonstrates that they can piss into the toilet whilst
    standing in the bath
    * someone spikes the already highly alcoholic punch with LSD
    * 28 pizzas turn up, seemingly unordered by anyone at the party

    etc. etc.
