200 miles?
christ!

Glad you had a good time though. :P
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 2 Aug 2009, 8:38, Reply)

200 miles is nought really...
a few year ago, whilst i was getting divorced, i went for a wee ride around europe... 4800miles in 4 weeks...including Bern to Ile de Noirmoutier in 1 day, a trip of about 700 miles...

crazy days!

although I don't blame you.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 2 Aug 2009, 8:54, Reply)

it was fun at the time!
even the bit where i almost crawled into the truck-motel at 8.30pm, soaking wet and freezing, tired beyond comprehension and then couldn't remember what country i was in so started talking gibberish to the bemused teenager behind the desk.
i was okay an hour later after a long, hot shower and some food.
but never again!!!

I'm desperate to goto the beach
And get in the water. This is the disadvantage of not owning a vehicle.

WTF am I doing getting up at 0830 on a fucking Sunday!!!
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 8:57, Reply)

which beach?
maybe i could whizz up there and give you a lift?
do you like bikes?
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sun 2 Aug 2009, 9:01, Reply)

If you fancy a bike ride to John O'Groats then that would be ace I could do with a lift!
Reiss Beach incidentally!

Oh and in terms of breakfast I'm going for Sardines on toast in a while. Today is going to be crammed full of tea and snacks!
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 9:33, Reply)

Exactly!
Get the fuck back to bed you early riser!!

( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sun 2 Aug 2009, 9:07, Reply)

Poppet got up at a quarter past ten,
like any self respecting teenager who needed a sleep in but had homework to do.

Morning^H^H^H^H^H^H^HAfternoon
Yesterday was spent going on a 20 mile walk (although the terrain was mostly flat). I made it but was one of the people at the back of the group towards the end. My legs fared well, pity about my feet. My feet were starting to hurt but have mostly recovered. We all went off to the village pub afterwards before heading back to London. Am now becoming addicted to Met-Walkers walks.

In other news, this is the first Sunday Morning Lie-in I've had in ages. EDIT: Got up at 12:15
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 12:34, Reply)

I am in my friend's actual Honda Accord.
On my way back to Liverpool after an amazing 24 hours in London. I'm sad to be leaving, but oh, what a time I had! I just did a squeal.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:00, Reply)

Afternoon Roota
Does the Honda Accord have a crackhead-radar?

How was That London?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:05, Reply)

Howdy Spak!
That Big London was too amazing for words. I wish I could have stayed longer. I got lost and still had fun. I never got to the bottom of that Honda Accord meme, but when I found out I'd be travelling in one I was hysterical and my friend looked hurt and bewildered. How you doing?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:22, Reply)

I'm fine thanks
My legs don't seem worse for the wear after my walk yesterday. Know what you mean about friends not getting Internet memes. In another forum I'm on, some guy in Mexico ended up having to try and explain to his office why he was laughing hysterically at some image-macro that combined a well-known Internet meme with a forum in-joke. I did not find out if he managed to explain it, but Kudos to him if he succeeded.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:28, Reply)

Well, I'm up a whole two hours earlier than I was yesterday
and am annoyed that another precious weekend is nearly over.

Afternoon Mallie
Know that feeling all too well. All weekends seem to be good for these days is winding down. By the time you want to do something, it's Sunday evening. Bring on the 4-day working week say I!
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:25, Reply)

Yay! Or even better, 3-day working week.
Make the weekend longer than the working week and all will be good :)

I have 3 days off in a couple of weeks' time and then it's all downhill to Paris... need more leave booking but my colleagues with kids have booked it all! Bah.
( Maladicta, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:29, Reply)

I was going to taske a series of extended weekends in September
but then my company announced they were imposing a ban on people booking holidays in the two months leading up to some important Industry trade-show. So I now have to wait until October for some time off.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:54, Reply)

Damnit. That's not fair.
My leave allocation for the year expires on Oct 31 so I can see a lot of autumn weeks off to do fuck all coming.
( Maladicta, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 14:02, Reply)

They're still honouring the holidays booked before the announcement.
But my holiday allowance year starts just a few weeks after the start of October. And the good news is that they allow me to take unpaid leave too, so I'm booking an extra day off on top of my holiday allowance.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 14:21, Reply)

Well
Despite being a raging drunken hussy last night, I still woke up at 7.30am. It will catch up with me tonight...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:26, Reply)

I watched an entire series of Two Pints of Lager
and went to bed about 2 (I always say I'll finish what I'm doing and turn the PC off, but something always sucks me back in...)

I am ashamed to say
that I had to google that. I've never seen any of the Godfather films, although Pot has promised to show me.
( Maladicta, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 13:43, Reply)

Don't bother watching Godfather 3.
Unless you just want to laugh. Silvio from the Sopranos does a hilarious interpretation of that line. I think it's in Season 1...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Aug 2009, 14:01, Reply)

Duly noted :)
I have a list of DVDs to watch as long as your arm, between the ones my flatmate keeps buying and the LOTR boxset that calls to me...
