I sympathise Piña, I spent over an hour and a half on the phone trying to sort insurance for the Mini. Because I will be adding a learner driver in a few months it all got rather complicated. I just laugh at them when they read from the script and they invariably agree and say they have to do it or they get in bit trouble. It's the verbal equivalent of small print, nobody listens.
Nice wobble in to work today and not windy. Hopefully it will be quiet, but I doubt it.

34 miles before breakfast in warmish air and some sun towards the end of the ride and a PB on the route as well.
Preparing for some conference calls during the day and thinking about lunch. Spicy veg Cous cous with chicken i think...mmmmm and tea is grilled sea bass.
Counting down to holidays, minus 8 weeks........booked some mountain bikes with my Brother in law so thaw in order too.“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

Indeed, it's very romantic and gives an excellent view.

There was a whole thread on the Oxo Tower in commuting chat a few years ago, possibly the last properly amusing thread I ever saw in that forum

Sao, if your aim is to get a 'result' and you have the budget, book this place. It even worked for me once, so I reckon you should ask for a refund if you don't get to play 'hide the sausage' afterwards :twisted:"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Do like Galvin La Chapelle and the one in Edinburgh is always a never fails. This isn't a dinner where I am looking for a fish supper at midnight though.
Did you lot get banned from commuter chat for that conversation?0 -
Where are you going to be? City or outskirts?
Plenty of rooftop bars in the city.
Tower 42 (City and Social)
Heron Tower (Duck and Waffle/Sushi Samba)
Walkie Talkie (Darwins, but there are 3 up there in total)
Shard
Gherkin (may need to be an employee of Swiss Re to get to the very top tho).
Just had a chicken avocado and bacon baguette myself.0 -
I've had a boring tuna salad from subway

Bizarrely it was one of the commuting regulars who started that thread and not a BB invasion - will try to find it and post a link.Do like Galvin La Chapelle and the one in Edinburgh is always a never fails. This isn't a dinner where I am looking for a fish supper at midnight though.

I wonder why V68 feels the need to distinguish a 'girl of the female persuasion' from the alternative? I didn't think he'd been on holiday in Thailand recently."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Sorry, I thought you'd said you weren't getting much beyond the first date. Or is that what you mean by exceptional luck?My luck has been exceptional thank you... to the best of my knowledge which I dare say is limited. 0 -
Date: "So what have you done today?"
