The roads by the MOD are a mess at the moment though, loads of road works.

Although traffic surprisingly easy at the moment for some reason.

There are at least one of us lurking on here working at AXA centre. It's a cycling hotbed I tell you.

Kieran and all who work in/near AXA!

Fancy a quick lunchtime pinta/coffee? I could probably ride down to the pub right by the railway station (Parkway something?) and back... Assuming I'm ont' bike that day...?

Kieran_Burns

I'll be done for lunch time, so I'm very happy to meet up (pretty sure I have the car park space for the day)

Done! Beaufort Arms (apparently nicer than the Parkway) on Thursday, what time's good for you? I'll need to get some lunch (mm, chips)...

Any more for any more?

Kieran_Burns

Truthfully, any time after noon. The work I have to do is fairly simple and I'm on-site at 9am

sarajoy

Let's say 12:10 then, I tend to escape for lunch at noonish anyway.

sarajoy

Fancy coming, StaringattheSea? Any other cycling loonies?

By chance, or nature of the fact that it's a thursday, i'll be at the Beaufort anyway. It'll be good to say hello.

Reminder for anyone around North Brizzle at lunchtime today!

Beaufort Arms, next to Bristol Parkway railway station, one diminutive girl in black trousers, pink top and maybe reddish checked shirt - one bloke in a grey suit and black tie, apparently ugly (hey, it's his description, not mine!) plus maybe StaringattheSea, who having not given any description can get away with not talking to us if he doesn't want to

Mark Elvin

Bugger, I'm at work, so close to home as well, I live just up the hill iat the top of the village.

sarajoy

I daresay it could be done again after work some other time.. What time do you usually get back, Mark?

Mark Elvin

Between 4:00 & 6:00PM normall, but I belive tonight I'm venturing down there after footy (why on earth does anyone want me to play 5 a side for them)?

risi

Has he not brought his cape with him? How disappointing. I may pop up for a bit.

sarajoy

Nice to meet you Simon (StaringattheSea), Kieran and Risi again - plus Simon's workmates*2

Nice pub that, must remember it's there, plenty of ales...

It's OK, can get a bit "laddy" in the evenings, not rough, just a ration of about 5:1 men:women.

Kieran_Burns

I always think it's weird when you meet someone IRL for the first time. You form this image of them in your mind and it's interesting to see how it matches up to reality.

and was very good to meet such great people for only the second time from this forum

sarajoy

Hahaha, see, Kieran I agree BUT now I'm curious as to what your mental image of me was :P

Mine of you was marred by your picture, I'm afraid!

Kieran_Burns

Marred?

You were expecting what exactly? :shock:


(and you were exactly what I expected, so nuh :P )

sarajoy

I dunno, some very dark character in a cape...

redvee

What's happening with the BiH/JS get together now the interloper has gone back to his own part of the world?

sarajoy

Totally on, Redvee - but I'm away for a week on holiday and clearly you can't go without me

I dreamed you were dead the other day. I was sad!

staringatthesea

Sara, Keiran, Risi,

Was a very good lunch, nice to meet you all. I'm not sure Jay and Huw knew what was going on though, as i hadn't mentioned you beforehand!

And Mark Elvin, about the Beaufort, it always seems so pleasant at lunchtimes, but I had wondered about the signs insisting on baseball caps being removed and tops to be worn...

Was there last night actually, was OK, nice to be able to sit outside all night, and an unusually high number of fitties there too. :shock:

You mean he doesn't look like his avatar? No cape either? :shock:

Kieran_Burns

If I can find a halfway decent photo (which is as rare as hens teeth) I promise to put you in your misery....

Mark Elvin
