What, they only designed small buildings? What were you doing up before 12 when you were a teen?

Didn't think that would take long! See the bird thread for context or lack thereof.

Yep, I thought you said it was a loop. It is with great sorrow that I suggest the unsporting option, training. Shaving everything south of your testicles will help, wearing aero clothing will help more, ditto getting into a lower and narrower position. Several grand on technology and wind tunnel analysis will make you faster.

A simple approach of riding your bike more and hurting yourself a bit more over a two week period would do the trick if it included an hour of intervals 3 times a week. Ganna is already shitting himself!

Not necessarily.

*Applause.

How's the one big eye in the middle of your forehead?

Actually, I know Oxney well, there's a 500 acre farm at Ebony I walk around regularly. You'll know the big lakes at Rye Harbour, I fish them, a great place to see birds when you're sitting doing sod all for long periods, the bitterns are a highlight.

When your sister is your mother.... Limited surnames on the marsh.

Yep, in the vast urban sprawl of Cock Marling, just west of Rye, population about 75, some of them alive.

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is well worth a visit next time you're down, excellent for waders. I see most of the curlews on the landward marshy fields behind the sea wall at Winchelsea Beach. I'm lucky, I have a couple of thousand acres (none of it mine) that I can walk around.

About 3 miles from me, I'm waving! Good chance of a hen harrier where you were, more chance around the wind farm.

• I waved all 6 fingers.
  

Of the ones who died for age related reasons, probably an even higher percentage.

There's a bloke just down the road from me with a Ford Raptor, the performance is terrifying in a pick up, but not as scary as the fuel consumption. Even he moans about it and his 'other car' is a McLaren.

They're certainly doing well down here at the edge of Romney Marsh, I see them almost every day, sometimes in flocks of 50+.

I think 'were' is the operative word, I had an old diesel pick up which, yes, drove like a tractor. I now have a modern one which is surprisingly refined and drives like a car. It will also do 40mpg, not bad for 2.75 tons of unaerodynamic metal.

Audi did win Le Mans with a diesel if my memory serves me right.

Any spearmint will do, killing the existing mint shows a particular skillset unless agent orange was involved.

Quality work! I chose sheep shit as a soft landing spot, the falling over backwards perspectives were achieved by falling over backwards.

Considering that they were taken at Midnight on a Saturday during an interesting state of sobriety, they're positively miraculous. Living at the top of a hill in the middle of not much has its compensations.

I know an aurora isn't a cloud, but these seem a good fit for this thread. Chez Bald a week or so back...

The last search party sent out to find Starmer's personality were all found dead. I still want him to win by an unprecedented landslide.

And look how well that went for Truss... Bad Enoch is the personification of why the Starmer strategy of keeping silent and letting the Tories self destruct will work.

The Brits hold big fat things which were originally imported from foreign lands in high esteem. This partially explains the popularity of carp and yourself.

Got that already, a rigid Cannondale M600 MTB with road chainset and tyres and SPDs!

Blank conclusively avoided, behold Maia the evil granddaughter with her catch. All I did was casting and landing net duties, tench to 7:3 and bream to 7:5.

Just do it, the results should be hilarious for anyone watching from the bank! I've had an upper 20 pike tow me 100 yards in a 12' fibreglass boat...

Tomorrow's expedition is taking the evil granddaughter to the syndicate lake to hopefully catch a tench. Snacks and drinks ready prepared, your prayers for avoiding a blank gladly accepted.

You've been off your trolley for as long as I care to remember.

No cable cutters and call yourself a cyclist? Actually, I envy you as I strongly suspect I'm an ex-cyclist (neurosurgery nor very eagerly awaited), 10 bikes likely up for sale. The endless time to fish is the silver lining!

Snip the eye of the treble with the Park Tool cable cutters you have from when you were a cyclist, add a split ring THEN add a lure single!

Yep, my bit of the Darent, dry detached body Mayfly (later left in a bush). As previously recommended, simply work the treble on the flying C around the split ring and replace it with a barbless single lure hook, go a bit bigger than the treble.

In today's news from the syndicate lake; four fish in four drops on the pole, perch 1:9, bream 8:7, tench 7:8, rudd 2:2. I'm pretty sure the rudd is a PB and have never seen or heard of anything near this size in the lake (there are 50 acres of it).

@Arducius, we await pics of the leviathan when you land it, carp or cat! Ps, to tie on a hook a five turn grinner or a palomar are the only acceptable knots.
