    Pot Noodle time.

    Been offered more stuff with armed Po Po so yup, count me in.

    Back to Pot Noodle.

    Po = police?
    MP?

    Jack Reacher?
    that would be cool - I could screech up in the Anaconda and roll over the bonnet before twisting my bad knee and limping off pretending it doesn't hurt.
    A la The Professionals or Starsky and Hutch? Not Reacher. not retro, not cool.
    Heartbeat is more my style

    I don't fancy the maintenance on a mansion up there :) We're looking around the North Downs and that sort of area.
    Will keep that in mind if I ever decide to run it 😂
    The address will be a closely guarded secret :p
    Will bring cider?

    ...and you need trackie bottoms with a stripe down the side of them or a cardigan or a beige turtle neck, oh and side burns. Gotta have the sideburns.

    side burns I'll carry, ain't doing flares or platform boots.

    There are limits.

    You'll never commute by bike from there. It's just an excuse to drive ze panzer on a daily basis.

    Actually I will ride in once or twice a week, its just over 20 miles each way...as long as we stay on the right side of the North Downs ridge, which is a censored climb.
    20 miles each way is a nice commute

    Yes I can confirm that I am officially alive and well. Slightly miffed but alive and well.

    Currently locked in until Monday which means my open water swim sessions in readiness for the June 20th tri are limited to the sex bath.

    Zwift kept crashing yesterday and although we have a massive kitchen extension which gives me a sprint length of 13163mm (yes I'm that bored I just got my laser out) from the bi-folds to the garage door it just isn't enough to train for a half marathon.

    When I lived a bit further out I did 25miles each way a couple of days a week and tbh it wasn't completely pleasant. It was the wrong side of the North Downs ridge and I was just knackered from it.

    If I go back to the office now, it's more like 17 miles each way.

    13m? You could fit a snooker table in there.

    So had vaccine and contracted C19 and showing as almost asymptomatic.
    Vaccine helped then.

    I'm definitely staying on the London side of the ridge. If we do bag something around there It'll be a great base to do some weekend riding.

    FTFY, after what the EPO wants him to spend on the new gaff I suspect that's all he'll have left.
    Glad you're not too bad with it HD, hope mate over the road recovers ok. We have to quarantine for a few days from Sunday as the female child is going to have her wisdom teeth out next week. If I start to go stir crazy I might move in to the old dear's and go to H³'s to eat.

    You joke, but the top of the ridge is the highest point in Kent (OK, that's a bit like the highest point in Holland) but its over 800ft above sea level whereas Cental London is almost at sea level. I love a challenge.

    New house is actually half way up the ridge (the London side of it). From the top floor windows I can make out London landmarks, Wembley Stadium Arch, the Shard etc

    A couple of people I know on bookface are not happy that they've discovered you can still catch C19 once you're vaccinated. I don't think they realise how vaccines work.
