The Distance

Total Distance since leaving Worcester on 30th April was 1963 miles which according to my calculations equates to 3,140 Kilometers. My original calculations obviously totally up the creek!

Well done Bish! Never mind your calculations - it's a b****y great achievement in miles or kilometers!!!
Bladder would send his congrats in person but he is away on his creative writing course. Seems to consist of him with two blokes and thirteen women in a remote farmhouse in mid Devon creating lavish menus for dinner every evening and appointing the wine monitor!!
Huge hugs to Magoos on birth of second grandchild - what will we do without Bish's blog. It has been so nice chatting to you all with Wally as an excuse
love to all

to Ros and Pat;

well said Ros ... let's all hi-jack Bishton's blogspace for general purposes of interpersonal communication for all eventualities; keeping in touch; weather reports; updates on 'Enery; Bishnav (Our own freeserve Satnav) travel advice; pile, saddlesore and knee-joint botanic remedies etc etc etc

to all ... why hasn't Foxy yet made a public contribution? ... when will he do so?... if he does, will the Burdy Index of Real Public Satisfaction (BIRPCS) rise gain from "dismal" to " abysmal" (one "s" or two ?); are the general public satisfied that the ointment has been applied yet? ... and will there be an oppotunity at Bladder's 60th to get blog printouts autographed on whatever medium (used or unused IZAL medicated)?

To Wolly ..

1. Wol can you do me a copule of jobs whilst you're over there ... I'll call you next couple of days.

2. Glad to see that wisdom and saddle-fatigue have caused you to concede that your capacity for severe geographic miscalculation is sadly lacking: Therefore, you may be inclined to foreclose on the Dardanelles issue conceding defeat prior to the likely possibility of having no option but a shameful public climbdown at the L.D.Soc. AGM scheduled at Jimmy's August 2007. In the impossibly-loaded-against-you-probability-in-favour-of-our-win (as advised by our distinguished counsel), due favours with costs will be exacted to the benefit of the protagonist when the LDS awards against you unless you concede in writing that you're WRONG etc. etc.

3. have the knees recovered sufficiently? we're all asking!

see you soon,

Magoo

Hijack the blog? What a splendid idea, who needs Bish anyway? Well not unless he's buying the beer! I think Magoo's theory of holding it back to build the climax omits the fact that its Bishton we're talking about here. Technical IQ of a nat, and that's only after it was boosted by my coaching interventions.

I ask you. We want to know. What has Henry got to say for himself? And where is Foxy? Questions must be asked? I'll restrain from mentioning the Dardanelles but the Bladders must be told! Does that ring a bell Ros?

Well done Bish!

So what happens to the blog?

Long live the blog.
