Warning: Septic infection impending

If you're anywhere near SW London, email me. Beers and board await.

<Thinks>

Anyone else remember the Spike Milligan advert for the English Tourist
Board?

<Scene: Spike sitting up in bed in a Wee Willie Winkie nightshirt, with
his arm curled round a large plank>

Spike: "Bed and board for only a few pounds....."

<Scene: bedroom door opens and unseen hands hurl a full plate of bacon
and eggs right into Spike's face>

Spike: "With breakfast.... thrown in!"

 

Does that mean "ride it to the nearest border, over the border and
back" or something more substantial?

 

That's what it used to mean a while back.

 

Heidelberg itself is worth a day or two.

 

I could see that working back in the days of proper borders, but how
does one go about proving the bike left Germany these days? (assuming
you're going somewhere other than the UK).

 

Gatso photograph on a French or Dutch road?

Maybe not; there was a glitch in a new magnet safety system this
week, so we're limiting the dipoles to 2 kA for the time being. Since they
were talking of 4 kA, I think that means collisions limited to 3.5 TeV total
for now.

But what about the mutated neutrinos?

 

the Swiss are quite happy to provide such evidence as you leave their
country, for a price, so I hear

 

The Border Patrol takes care of them for a bribe.

 

Perzackly. It doesn't take long for rental fees to add up to the price
of a bike. You can ship for a reasonable fee, but arrival time is too
arbitrary.(*) Flying is best but expensive. That's why operations like
Knopf are a good thing.

(*) One woman shipped her bike _12_ weeks before her trip and it
_still_ didn't get there on time.

 

"ruins note"?

Thank you, kind sir. I shall. But please, for my edification, (I don't
wish to be insulting,) when referring to you, which part of your
moniker gets the emphasis - The, Old, or Gentleman?

 

Both

hth

BTW, if you venture further north( northern English/Welsh border) then
then bed and beer is also available plus some really good roads.

I'm wondering how many European countries it would be possible to visit
and stay with UKRM'ers

I can think of at least 10.

 

"roust nine"?

 

18 so far, if you split the UK up & include that idiot from Gibraltar

 

So, umm, how many of said UKRM'ers have eligible daughters?

 

Really? That many?

UK = 5 (6 if you include Gibraltar as a country)
NL, BE, FR, ES, DE, CH = 6

There's that part time poster in Poland.

That's a generous 13. So where else does the group have resident
representatives?
