He can't sign yet....we haven't got past the 1000 posts yet. You all know it won't happen until we are past that number.
You are banned from posting on here except for confirmation he's signed. I got my hopes up when I saw you had posted.
Just back. No, I missed the rambling. They did 7.5 miles and apparently it was excellent [sod it]. I do like the banter amongst the ramblers. Great cross section of people. Think I've mentioned it before, but one of our older number worked on parts for the TSR2. We can get that kind of gritty conversation over a pint or three. Today, a fellow rambler walked by me and announced, that was better. He was referring to Saints yesterday. Anyway. Shawford is a nice out of the way place. Hugely overlooked and that's how the various people there would like it kept. The M3 swishes by in its cutting and there's a fair bit of high ground between the area and the motorway. I couldn't hear it from outside the Bridge Inn, which is so called because it is right next to an impressive railway bridge, which also has an in-built station attached [those cunning Victorians]. Obviously, Shawford was planned for great things which never quite came to pass, or perhaps its heyday has passed into history. Not the best, but a nice-ish pub. BTW, Butcombe Bitter isn't bad at all [they didn't do the porter, Chilco]. Light golden coloured, quite soft tasting, and fruity. Quite nice and a complete surprise for the name to be there. Had to get the barman to top it up though [these heads they put on true pint glasses, tsk, tsk] as the beer was well up.
Apologies chaps, appears it's been dragged on until tomorrow. When I last heard (last night), I was told they were expecting to complete the deal this evening. #WeF5On...
Was today DTLW's trial for the BBC to see how long can he string people along for discussing something that's not actually happening?
