FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast in aid of Martlets Hospice 3rd September 2010

[Aperitif]

Wowbagger doppleganger on the sunflower crusade!

I didn't dare go to the 'Seagulls sweat over Navarro's injury' (I thought they pooped anyway, not 'transpired'?)

 

[Aperitif]

blimey. I never said that stuff! Still, it's all good publicity

Next year's Martlets ride will be on 8th July - the weekend before the DD

Shameless publicity!

 

[Aperitif]

Could we have a photo of the anvil first please?

Would that be before you 'put the hammer down', Adrian?

 

[rich p]

But you look SO young dear 'boy'.

(If our last ride's 'Birthday Boy' age is a dim and distant memory, I'll believe you. But if such a celebration is awaited with anticipation...you wear it well, and need further discussion with rich p on the secrets of Eternal pain in the Youth.)

Ah, was the Lady in Red Orange called Mildred? The Eternal Yootha

or possibly Anne Ville?

Anyway, the less senile of you Seagull drunks may remember me wittering on about The Temptations and Papa was a Rolling Stone with respect to the Martlett's Ride date? No, I thought not.

Please find underneath the lyrics therof

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."

Sounds like my sort of lyric rich!

We're on 'duty' together - I don't know whether to bring a hip flask or use a more traditional one...

I know! How exciting! Move along now, move along, mind the cats eyes Stu.

Hip's cool, man, dig?

I think dellzeqq has strategically placed his crack troops to administer cuddles at key points...

Cuddles? Is la belle Claude on our patch?

 

[Flying Dodo]

Crikey - has anyone looked at the "It is all about the bike" page on the blog?

I was very amused by some other bits:-


You DON'T need to carry Auntie Mabel’s fruit cake and her famous cheese and pickle sandwiches. Nobody has ever starved to death on one of our rides.


Nice safety pictures too.

Marvellous thing about cake on these things- tends to get eaten pronto

One of the Martlet's riders comments on rich p's insouciance...

 

[mangaman]

blimey. I never said that stuff! Still, it's all good publicity

Is this the false info they are attributing to you?
"Simon added: "This ride raises sponsorship for the hospice, we must raise over £8,000 every day to care for our patients, so please raise as much sponsorship as you can.

"To add a little incentive for our riders there will be bonus prizes for everyone who raises over £600." "



Good publicity though

BTW - Aperetif - I'm at the bottom of Ditchling and am prepared to dish out strategic cuddles if I deem it appropriate

(not to you - obviously BTW )

 

[mangaman]

Does Teef not need cuddles or are your arms not long enough?

Well - I don't know Adrian. I've never met Aperetif. Maybe we'll bond, and a beautiful relationship will begin in Ditchling - starting with an innocent cuddle and a nibble on my bacon sandwich - who knows where it could lead?

Well, I met him once, and he started posting this kind of stuff..

But you look SO young dear 'boy'.
