Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments Cows - essential equipment for cow-tipping recreational activities. Harmless.
Sheep - knitwear enablers. Stupid.
Pigs - made of bacon. Delicious.

spent my stag night in MK.

Didn't actually want a stag do, so it amounted to me & my Best Man going to see Naked Gun in the multiplex

Sorry, out of time, today.

I have saved it, though. So, you never know it may turn up as a 'Fragment' on my blog sometime.

That's if I remember where I've saved it.

I walked from the station last time - easy peasy! didn't even get lost! (and don't forget you can try it from the comfort of your own armchair in Google street view...)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments I have a friend who lives near Biggleswade who's going to point me in the right direction, just in case, and who I'm later going to ply with curry and beer :)


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Rail advance fares now available, so I have booked mine :)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Do you think there's any truth in the idea that the M25 was built to protect the rest of us from London & the denizens inside the corrall?


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I can't make any sense of that sentence, Will.

Aunty Janet (janetauty) | 296 comments I quite fancied a bimble over from Northants, but I'm having a full knee replacement on 18th December (bed permitting), so won't be up to it. I'd like to come to a future one!


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'm glad you're finally getting your op but shame you can't make the meet, Janet.

I'm hoping there'll be another meet in the summer that I'll be able to make.

wrong way round. None of you provincials can ever penetrate its mystical labyrinth and know which junction to come off at. Therefore you just spend you time going round and round

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Labyrinth?

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Filamentous?

Perfectly cromulent word, that.

We had to travel on the M25, it snarled up solid so we left at a roundabout, navigated south by the sun through what appeared to be a maze of housing estates and came out on the North Circular. Doddle. Anyone can do it, you just don't have to care :-)


message 79: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I tried to find an easier route home from my pals house on Wednesday night, I employed Jim's method (although without the sun) but I think my compass was upside down or back to front (maybe both) as I ended up further away from my flat.

Isn't that the ultimate nightmare scenario - stuck on the M25 during bank holiday weekend?


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I can think of worse things, RMF.

You've never been to Lagos airport, have you?

No, but I have been to Heathrow on a bank holiday weekend, which I suppose is a close second.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments On I've been to heathrow on bank holidays and school holidays frequently.

Still a thousand times better than Lagos.
