client lunch was lovely but there was no neeeeeed for me and boss to carry on.
Drinking for 12 hours then staggering home on foot meant i got to bed at 2. Only to remember this morning about the fucking fucking fucking tubestrike. So now i am having to walk all the way back from kensington to the city, about 7 miles, and i really think i'm going to be sick right here in hyde park. Dreadfully sad times!

What did you have?

to drink... kir royales
Then a sancerre, a pouilly-fume and some v fancy premier chablis thing. Then on to henry's for dirty vodkas. Bleurgh.

Foodwise nearly everyone went for the obvious langans choices, codnchips or bangersnmash. I won't eat again all week!

Vodka on top of white wine on a school night? Not sure if that's brave or stupid or both
i like the fish they do - their skate is excellent.

A 7 mile walk will only take about 2 hours
if you're even halfway fit.

It's the quickest way to travel in London. I don't suggest wearing killer heels though.

Edit - nor when hungover.

i walk home about 3 days a week
Takes about 90 mins. But not with a wild beast rampaging inside my head, ow sweetie ow sweetie ow ow ow.

Meanwhile bloody boss ran in, got there at 8, and has been sending coherent emails all morning, gah.

So you're walking at about 4.5mph
which is pretty good going.

Can't be fun with residual alcohol in the system though. Yow.

I never walk alone at night
I always try to find a young woman and walk a few steps behind her. It makes me feel safer.

yes you are going there.

4.5mph is a mental pace so I'd assume the distance is less.
If I stomp solidly for 90 minutes I'll cover five and a quarter miles, that's 3.5 miles an hour which is a pretty good average pace on grass. Keeping 4mph up on tarmac is tough for longer periods.

I can do a sustained 4mph
but I've got longer legs than rswipe, so it's easier for me.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 8:59, Reply)

On tarmac 4mph is easily doable for a couple of hours
out in the country you'd be doing well to keep up 3.5mph on undulating ground.

oh no don't depress me!!!
I thought it was 7 miles because that is what car says when i drive it, maybe that was rounded up or i take a shortcut on foot... I do walk quickly but it's not exactly powerwalking.

Dooooooom. Not even your second lovely parcel is going to cheer me up now (but THANK YOU anyway).

So nearly just walked into a tree typing this, a whole number 9 bus is laughing at me.

If you can't cope with the hangover, don't drink the wine
