Dave, my husband and family are from Yorkshire and make jokes about flat caps and whippets among themselves as well as calling me a cockney. Nobody takes it seriously or accuses anyone of sterotyping and I can't believe you do either.
And you've never had a problem with my humour before - anymore than I have with yours so why now?
Your replies are proof that you do have a problem otherwise you'd be explaining it was a misunderstanding.
But if you won't tell me I'm not playing guessing games. I meant it as a joke and I'm sorry you took it personally but if you can't see that, well, *shrugs*
Well, OK Dave, I will...I don't mind anyone going batshit crazy on my ass but I do like to think there should be good reason why and this really didn't seem like one...
Teehee. It's doubtful, she's married to one of the enemy
I haven't fallen out anyway.
If you are referring to the "enemy" meaning Yorkshire, I'll have you know that I am a Tyke and I find your remark deeply insulting.
Right, can normal service resume? Can we all get back to chatting about the state of the nation, bitching about the RW IT department and generally talking shite....oh, and running and cycling too obviously?
but it is womens tennis though... Yesterday proved why they deserve the same as the men. Maybe next year they'll just have a WImbledon singles (mixed) event, but with twice the prize money. Seems fair to me.
Not checked the forecast but since the beginning of the year it has blown pretty much consistently from the north so the likelihood is that they'll be into a head wind for most of the day. When they hit the coast at Cancale (a pretty little fishing village with some really good sea food restaurants) they turn and head west so there is a chance that there may be some cross winds. Looking out of the kitchen window the turbines are fairly whizzing round at the moment but it could, of course, drop overnight.
Although they'll be passing a mere 25kms to the east of my place, I haven't actually ridden the roads they'll be taking for a while so I went for a gentle spin earlier today to check out some of the route. www.d2ride.co.uk
I did the climb though the forest of Paimpont on one of my first rides with the local club and I remember arriving at the top purple-faced and panting from the effort of trying to keep up with the local grimpeurs. Surely that ought to be worthy of categorisation I thought to myself. Sadly, my memory was clearly playing tricks. The sad reality is that it is a steady 2.5km drag with a maximum gradient of maybe 6% for a few hundred metres.
The area around Pampont forest is quite beautiful by the way. Paimpont Forest is supposedly King Arthur's realm Brocéliande.
Oh, and St Meen Le Grand is the birthplace of 3 time TDF winner Louison Bobet and home to a museum dedicated to him. The race will go right by the museum. There was some kind of function going on there today or I might well have gone in to take a look. Despite living just down the road all this time and passing it on numerous rides, I've still never managed to check it out.

RW - I am a subscriber, so I don't want a pop-up asking me if I want to subscribe
Dear small willy man driving the porche.
Making lots of noise and driving slowly make you look really stupid and confirms to everyone you really do have a small cock
Dear Bookmarks,
OK so I couldn't find you in the ususal way but it's nice to know you are still here
Dear forumite,
If you couldn't see that was a joke I suggest you contact Interpol and get them to locate your missing sense of humour.
Dear twat, make silly comments and expect to get silly responses

Nice stalking though!
Not related to Livergob are you ? She always thinks I'm talking about her.
You have my sympathy with respect to your family
Dave, I have PMd you.
You've never had a problem with me or my humour in the past so why now and why bring another forumite into it anyway?
Seriously, where the f*ck has this come from?
I don't ... As I said I made a comment above, it didn't refer to you...
That's very difficult to believe given your reaction (overreaction) to my posts on the other thread.
But hey, life's too short.
Believe what ever you wish, it's a free country

Seem very cut up about it.... I've moved on, as you say life's too short ( well it is when you are my age)
Screamapillar, how do you find missing bookmarks???
Cinders you needed to have typed it into your search bar at some time. If your browser can remember it than you can go straight into it.
Dave, in all honesty I was making a joke and have aplogised. You, on the other hand are deliberately behaving like a complete and utter f*cking moron.
I expect it from some posters on here but not from you, you always come across as quite humorous. To say I'm surprised is an understatement
I'm a right bundle of laughs....
let it go, I'm not upset, so didn't require an apology...
Any chance of you two kissing and making up?!
Teehee. It's doubtful, she's married to one of the enemy

Have a good afternoon
Pudge - don't be naughty!
Thank you. 68 k's to go with Quickstep driving the bunch and a pile of ironing to do couldn't be better

Keep you out of trouble though won't it?
It's bugger all use to 90% of people to deliver your milk at gone half nine in the morning on what will be the hottest day of the year.
The previous guy used to deliver in the dead of night AND he was still cheery.
So why are you so crap and grumpy ? I'm going to have to cancel and I suspect most of your other customers will too.
Its not rocket science is it ? Deliver the milk BEFORE people leave for work ?
...and Wimbledon champion. So I can just go f*ck myself.
but it is womens tennis though...

Dustin, its been like that for years though with the Williams brothers domination
I'm not on FB so I can't update my status to "step grandmother"

You should, we did a few weeks back after an excellent lunch in Cancale
Dear boss,
Actually, that's just not f*cking good enough!
