I have Special Powers

Every time I get on the bike, it pisses down.

 

That will be "winter" sir.

 

So tell me, how does "winter" know when I am riding my bike?

I think not. I prefer to believe that I have powers that I never dreampt of.
:-}

 

It can hear you whinging.

 

Au contraire.

I was just saying this morning how my faster my cornering was in the warm
rain than in the icy cold. And it carried on pissing down.

Nope. I have Special Powers.

 

I suggest you take up an honourable career in the drier half of Ethiopia.

 

Good man.

 

Wasn't it Eddie who christened one of his bikes "The Rainmaker"?

 

Yeah, the Falco, weren't it?

ISTR it utterly, utterly pissing it down on the return trip from Bayeux...

True. I thought it was your fault.

 

Bayeux...


It utterly, utterly pisses down on pretty much every TOG trip.
HTH.

 

Not the last one I was on. The guys on the earlier ferry got pissed
on, but for the righteous (i.e me) the rain stopped and we were bathed
in glorious sunshine.

 

I *was* on the earlier ferry. Pissed it down from home to Dover
and half the ride from Calais to St. Quentin. And it was fucking
blowing a gale too.

 

*waves*

It was f*cking horrible gale force winds, lightning, really vile.

*waves* At the time I thought the wind and rain was a bit bothersome, but
actually it was quite fun... I had more trouble from the women in the
sodding petrol station.

Very enjoyable trip that one [1] and the Ginge Comedy Car Act was also most
memorable.


[1] possibly because I was , pretty much, able to keep vaguely up ;-)

or another that I was on but you weren't. Sunny all the way it was.

 

I wonder if we get a repeat performance or is a new act needed next
time.

In UKRM tradition, I shall hold the accolade until someone upstages me
by doing something more spectacular.

 

It was a bit damp getting to Dover late, but it was lovely on the other
side - a touch breezy, mind. I enjoyed watching Dodger in the mirrors,
trying to avoid getting his knee down in a straight line.

Then it was all lovely weather for the rest of the weekend.

The last one, to Villedieu, was a bit dank and foggy first thing, but became
progressively more summery the further south I went. And stayed like that
almost until the end of November...

Can't wait for the next one.

Don't you mean stupid?
