    On the train, been lured in by the offer of a meeting with advisord that includes a full English brekkie. Will have to cycle tomorrow to offset some of the lard.

    I know Roglic was in the red after his effort but flipping hell. You can tell he didn’t grow up riding a bike. Jumbo should send him to some cyclocross events this winter to learn bike handling.

    You volunteer Seano. Take him to the park and over the common and night riding over Malden golf course and over to Marldon south to the building site for more obstacles.

    Malden golf course is very specific!

    What is Marldon south?

    Some housing project apparently.

    We did Eastbourne golf course in the dark once. Those bunkers can really catch you out.

    Ah, gotcha, Marldon seems to be a housebuilder. I used to live in a flat just round the corner from that development.

    It’s hard to see an animal in such agony and so distressed.

    It looks like he's having a seizure because he's been exposed to the first sunshine of the year up in Scotland.

    Every area these days remotely close to Wimbledon is changing their name to incorporate Wimbledon.

    South Wimbledon
    West Wimbledon
    New Wimbledon
    I can see Wimbledon if I stand on my roof Wimbledon. Adds a few grand to your house price.

    South is a northern line station, so fair enough, but "west", "new" and "I can see if I stand on my roof" are a load of bobbins.

    I'm in "I can see the theatre if I look out of my loft velux" Wimbledon, which is a fine district, not at all made up. Though I think I'm actually on the border of Wimbledon Chase and Bushey Mead.

    People want a posh sounding address. Over in the SE 'burbs, Dulwich is a surprisingly large area given it's meant to be a village.

    Afternoon folks,
    Another day in the orifice. Narrowly avoided a deluge going home last night and managed the same again. Walked to Sainsbury's to stock up on lunches and got soaked just now.
    The estate agents say the old dear's place is in West Wimbledon. We always refer to it as Raynes Park. She's got a view of the North Downs on a clear day in winter now.
    Used to ride across the golf courses on Wimbledon Common as a lad, got shouted at by old men in silly trousers and red jumpers a few times. There was one bunker we used to try and jump, we'd ride down the fairway as fast as we could, across the green and hope to clear the bunker at the far end of it. I didn't think I was going fast enough one time and chickened out, left a large gouge in the pristine grass where I grabbed a handful of brake and turned left. Whoops :#

    Now that is posh ;) Maybe she should say she is living in North West North Downs?

    They're a long way off but they are there, not as bad as the flat in Brighton my cousin looked at that said it had a sea view. It did if you stood on a chair and peered out the top of the window in the back bedroom.

    Fairly well covered in an episode of Fawlty Towers. 😉

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
