Independance Day BOTAFOT

So you're telling us he wanted a revolution?

Well you know.........................

 

I suspect you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow for lots of other
reasons too.

I was actually referring to The Last Post, you dumb brit.

 

I was thinking more along the lines of the music/ceremony on that
particular date and the meaning of it. I think most would not get the
'joke'.

 

Nigel Eaton secured a place in history by writing:

I have a Brit colleague in Texas who lives in a vast house on a new estate,
the kind of place that no ordinary mortal could afford in Britain, hence
they don't even build them that big. Not only do all the locals festoon
their houses with ridiculously over the top decorations, lights, santas etc
at Christmas but it's actually a requirement of the estate that they do so.
But it's only written in terms of 'You must have external Christmas
lights', so he has a foot long sign which he sticks in the middle of his
acre of front-garden which says, in white lights, 'Bah, Humbug'

The locals really hate him for it; He has a stack of letters from them
complaining that is setting a poor example for his children etc

 

I would really like to live in a 'merkin place like that. Or somewhere
where the most interesting thing to do is watch the tarmac melt.

I suspect I wouldn't live very long

 

Cool...

I haven't managed a race yet this season. I'm working during the Pembrey
round. (Well, on-call, which amounts to the same thing.)
How many more you got after that?

I fucking knew it. He's a bit bloody Welsh.

 

One of the best rides I've done was the ridiculously early botafof,
which involved getting to high beach before it opened.

The 5am wake up was a bunch of arse but the roads were empty, and
mostly clean and dry. I'd love to try it again, but with much less
beer the night before.

 

Gimme a ping nearer the time to remind me, but yeah. Cub#2 will
likely be with me, but I still think we'll be able to make better time
than the other week.

Hm. Looks free, so I might head on over there if the weather's nice.

I should be on the way back from the IoM on the 5th, so I guess I could
stop-off on the way home, if I'm not too tired.

 

Bad form 'n all, but sadly I cannot make this one now.

Anyone fancy rescheduling?

Reschedule Independence Day? Or simply reschedule the 4th of July?

 

Nah, reschedule the BOTAFOT, WGAF about Independance Day.

I do. A great day to celebrate. About the only thing which could
better that would be the merkins leaving the planet entirely.

 

You forgot to x-post this to reeky.
