Dragon - it's the racetrack again...Aghhh

[Steffan]

In short, if I am to finish my Masters this year, ie: graduate in June and still be married and intact,  I need to complete my 20,000 word dissertation on social trinitarianism by the 26th of March.   I also have a particular 3 day event that same week which I have to attend (viz not optional). So alas my good friends, I shall not be with you this year as you cram yourselves into that tiny but poxy prefab they call a bar at the Anglesea race course.  Think of  me as you all, half pissed, perform that rather strange and definately camp bobbing thing you all do,  and remember, even if I was there I wouldn't be minded to participate in such grossly suggestive and lewd behaviour.

'Stephen Edwards MA' - it sounds like the making of a good detective show 

A sort of cross between Cadfael and Quincy I'd say.

GC

[jules]

Are you using Quincy as a swear word 

[guest7]

I would never use Quincy as a swear word, he and I share a common trait... he never did finish that boat, I will never finish that café racer.

GC

[Steffan]

Yea yea but you never get to the angry part.... what!! do you mean to tell me!!! that one in four hundred and sixty-four thousand two hunded and twelve point six nine four recurring suffer from cold digits if they drink to much in the Alps!! and nothing is being done about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

etc etc

Actually for the record, assuming everything else pans out it will me MTh not MA. Actually MZ would be more appropriate.

Seeing all those Zeds doth almost tempt me to attempt the TT myself in the not too distant future.

Doh! stupid mistake on my part sorry.

Of course in your case a theolgical debate approachs an art form

GC

[Steffan]

No Jethro's old one - the black beast - is a reliable is unwilling starter and the green one....well
at the moment starting it may result in having to say hello to Mr conrod 

Steffan

Wot ! you'll have a Mathters 

As an aside if you do decide to do the TT , then you'll have company as I had to carry my ticket over to next year any way .
Miss you at the Dragon old boy , but understood .

At least the weather looks right:

Mon-Thursday Snow over most of the North
Friday: Sunshine
Saturday: Snow or rain
Sunday: Fine but cloudy.

If we get a nice covering for the run over then descend into damp and dreary Anglesey it'll be a bit of a PITA, but the Pennines/peaks in sunshine after a bit of the white stuff will be pretty enough.

Andy

[Steffan]

There's the solution, hold the Dragon in the Pennines!

[Andy M]

At least the Black Pudding would be fresh and you'd be able to get a decent bit 'o tripe 'wi pint!

Actually, isn't there anything similar in Scotland? Snow is almost guaranteed probably an hour out of Glasgow/Edinburgh without the cost of ferries.

If it does snow, attendance on Anglesey is going to be interesting. The "rather not get the GS/Wing/Harley dirty" brigade will stay at home, as will anyone who doesn't fancy the dreary race circuit. A rare badge year?

[robG]

I've just checked with the Met Office . Looks promising , as you say Andy. Thermal foundation wear ,with the fur gusset ,being prepared as we speak .

I expected it to snow , as I'm taking the Xs 11. What could be more suitable than a 600lb dinosaur on which to slither to the Dragon.

The C90 rider I met in Austria was talking about a camping meet in winter at Cape Wrath.

GC

Aye GC,

Snowline tonight starts at Dunkeld. It is also lying on the hill from ~100m up. Heavy persistant rain/sleet with a steady breeze from the SE which is rising at the house, now!

As for your Austrian friend going to Cape Wrath on a C90 in winter! It takes all sorts. If there is no wind, you'd be fine, but you wouldn't hold the C90 to the ground if you had a good blaw! However, there are caves near bye which might be cushty

As for Andy's black pudding "At least the Black Pudding would be fresh and you'd be able to get a decent bit 'o tripe 'wi pint!" Stornaway black pudding has NO pears. The Free Church would also have something to say about anything happening after Saturday 24:00hrs!

Go canny and all return safe from Angelsey.

Slainte, Bill.
