    Although Spete isn't, but he's Dutch, so it's still okay.

    Because you used to be slow, but now you're not. It wouldn't matter if
    you had just beaten Rossi at Donington, you'd still be "slow" - it's a
    meme thing, or summat.

    But doesn't that make them insufferably smug though?

    So there are average, smart, smartasses and then there are smart,
    smartasses who are less or more smart than the average, smart,
    smartass?

    Its only me trying to be smart about one of the very few areas I
    should be able to claim I am smart about (but not really any longer).
    Add tonight's wine and the result is "wibble, wibble, ..."

    *ding*
    Plus the fact that he claims to be un-windupable about it, although I
    do wonder if I succeeeded too well the other week...

    But for the record I'd just like to say that the ~30 second catch-up
    stops did seem to indicate a certain "not actually very slow at all"
    ness, but I'm only saying that after spending the night on the office
    floor and waking up probably still pisssed...

    Er, I was the one that got wound up about it, not Ginge. There's no
    "ding"ing about it. You don't say you've just ridden with someone and
    they're too slow and then claim it as a "meme" reference. Doesn't work, old
    bean.

    No, we managed to avoid that, but Mike and I went on to one of the
    bars in Kleinbasel for a last 'one for the ditch'. Or four, to be more
    accurate. Problem was that when I arrived at the flat and got my keys
    out I discovered that they have become unclipped from my normal
    keyring, hence I couldn't get in. I didn't think Jude would appreciate
    a 3:30 call to come and rescue me, plus I needed max sleep ços of
    doing two presentations at this morning's SAG meeting.

    I was surprised at how well I managed to sleep on the floor with just
    a rolled up (spare) pair of jeans for a pillow. Must have been the
    camping practice from the other weekend.
    Squeezyjet, eh. Don't you love 'em?

    Did you? I didn't notice.
    You're absolutely right, I don't say any such thing.
