My co-tagger is Didipot- who I have to thank for extreme patience in a cold wind as I tried, and failed, to upload our efforts on my huge new phone.
Hoefla came to the rescue. So it was a team effort.

Beautiful photo of the Thames Barrier by Dammit btw.

Old tag: Thames Barrier viewed from south bank.

New tag: Despite appearances it's a place of learning and bears the name of a local river.

I'm sure it's intended to be the Coach and Horses on Mon 15th, Mr Jackal.

Tbh, all this venue-swapping can be detrimental to a good turnout.
Yes I enjoyed the Cambria, even to the extent of ordering a sticky toffee pudding (!) but the menu is never a clincher for me: any pub food costs more than I feel I can spend.

I can manage on a packet of fig rolls until I'm home for proper food. (that's HTFRU).

I think we should stick it out with the C+H for the next little while.

Another good evening at South(East)s.

It had the feel of sit-com writing, when Loic left and there was the surpise arrival of Mashton, taking up Loic's seat and talking about Kenny Everett and Steptoe and Son, just as we had with Loic.

Owen, having also just arrived, you might have found our response perplexing!

Hope it is just the gear hanger and spoke, Matt:
Also sure you carried home the full carbon weight at full arm extension above your head, as in your avatar.

Looking forward to next week.

[QUOTE=KT Bee;3167196]Thanks all for a lovely evening - definitely helped erase memories of T**d...[/QUOTE]

By which you mean Trackend, (not Telford)?!

Thank-you KTBee for your texts which allowed us late starters to eventually catch you up. It had been fun engaging in the meta-tagging of trying to locate the people who were trying to locate the tags.

Tower Bridge, was raised, for the second year running: what are the chances?

Bernie, a glass of prosecco to you !

Thanks for tippng me to this on Mon, KT.

I plan to join you mais, malheuresement I won't quitte le magasin until at least huit heures.

I have your no. KTBee and will text/call to find the group's whereabouts, if you don't mind.
If anyone else wants to PM me their no... might be fun.

Mrs Jones. didn't really set me alight as a French language beginners. But when it came to ascribing adjectives, I couldn't complain, I was 'grand'; shame for one less attentive lad who because of frequent yawns was dubbed 'fat-i-gue' except everyone always said 'fat and gay'. I'd say try to avoid personalising adjectives Katie Coo.

Paul -116.- I'd still like to take you up on those Shimanos- PM'd

Wests was good on Thurs.

I can vouch that B+Doyle found the landlady of the Queen Adelaide 'ripe' for welcoming our bikes into her hedged-off area at the front.

Not sure the QA has enough by way of a 'nook' to act as a cordon sanitare for us smelly cyclists, in the manner of the passage and back room at the Raven.

That's my considered contribution...before I quit to Abu Ghraib...

Thank-you Kati. That link works.

Once his teeth have dropped our, Ed'll be glad of the cous-cous opportunities

Go to http://www.justgiving.com/Edward-Scoble and click 'Donate' at the top.

That should do it!

And Ed's drug of choice is Coke... (as in the drink, Coca-Cola). He drinks bottles of it like there's no tomorrow.

Good to read of your enjoyable ride. Wish I could have joined you.
I'm considering doing this before the end of October as a day ride.

Fantastic work Ed and Giles.

I can't get either of these links to take me to a donation page, though. Can anyone help?

You have an impostor who came on the crawl and voted for a different pub.

Yes I'll rise to that, Bruce !

Entirely by.accident I did the wholcrawl.
Good one, too. With the.welcome.arrival of hoefla in time to deliver me a jersey at my moment of need. As I remained plausibly sober enough.to discuss.web marketing.strategy.with.Diiddypot as far into the evening.as.the.Three.Stags I reckon it.was. sucess.
Good oldforum feel to it all.
Cheers, Corny. well strung together.

CAMBRIA gets my vote.

Out. Head still hurts from Souths pub crawl.

Was a rollicker! Pub crawling is an endurance sport. I followed the established tactic of sticking to halves for the first four boozers, allowing me to be plausibly sober right through to the last stop; Doghouse where I clearly remember discussing web marketing strategies with Diddypot.

Looking forward to tonight, but I be surprise if it soars to the same heights.

I'll be along after swimming, to write some gardening notes for Fox and maybe to take some notes from Stonehedge £££.

Can't manage a crawl tonight, so regretfully out.

The quality of the pizza at the Half Moon, Herne Hill is a good enough reason to lean in that direction on this and other occasions, though.

@ KTBee- I may still manage to be around for you to pick up the light, but will text closer to 8.00pm.

Katie,
Also available to borrow is my Exposure Strada which kicks out a lot of light (one penetrating beam and one wide-angled beam combined in a casing a little smaller than a Hope Pepsi-can-thing. Run-time 6 hours at full illumination. Lithium-ion internal rechargeababe battery.

Sadly can't wangle the time off to join you folks.

Also signed up for the 100. I will have forgotten of course, what the event is all about, by the time of the ballot in early February.

Can't join tonight. Have urgent gardening to do.
@Ciq: hope.to see you at.SE before you.become.a.denizen of Mordor
@ Stonefudge: not.such.a.beater with those wheels, surel

Dan, I've got a pair of Velocity deep V's...erm,..daffodil yellow...

and a pair of Mavic CXP33's laced to gold/ orange Paul Gansari hubs.

Can't do photos though, at mo. I'm around today if interested..

I felt a bit nervous for the Katana as Iain ghost-rode it away. Nervous because in my own experience two bikes go in two directions, So when he came off I hope it wasn't onto that lovely frame: a Chainbreaker could make quite a kink in a Katana.

Ciq, Dan, Matt; 'cheers for the beers' as they say in the 'parlance'.

@ Fox: will you be in tonight? I have your soldering iron to return.

Inzorz.

I put that into Google Translate German>English and got 'the drinks are on me'.
See you later Jack.

My plans for this have gone awry so I will not be able to get to the start before 11pm at the earliest

Still hoping to see you all along the way though!!

Shame not to see you at the start, Moonboy; this means I may not be there to lead you on a detour by Glastonbury Tor as I did last year.

Well I've just spent 32 minutes on an 0845 number to an iIndian call centre in order to book two train tickets, at no little cost.- and all because online booking doesn't allow any facility for making 'compulasary' bike reservations.

@ ChainBreaker- I've paid exactly the same as you; £25 out and £43 back. Even now I don't have a cycle reservation for the Exeter-Bristol leg. so I can only hope that the main body of Bristol cyclists will have 'Exodused' Exmouth by 12.57pm.

Still, really looking forward.
