GTRoger Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Turin is the wrong direction.............I'm really sorry about the vlaai. If you walk past Limburg, please drop in and we'll get you the best vlaai you've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 We stoped to fill with up petrol as we left the hotel monday and the petrol station had lots of vlaai for sale so we all bought one ...we were going to share it out on the ferry but we missed it so we ate ours ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Turin is the right direction.I'm not going over those big hills on a pushbike!Now reached Nice.Pink Lycra Guy is hot on my trail.Don't know if it's the bike he's after or something else.Tried to tell him that I didn't have any shortbread with me but he was having none of it!McJim.PS Found the smallest pair of Speedo swimming trunks you ever saw lying on the beach. Must be for a kid. The name "Martin" was sewn onto the label. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Damned right there Mr Raider, warnings are being posted around Staines. I hope to have moved by the time he gets into the vicinity!Poor old forelorn fool, I love that top shot, could'nt have been staged any better!

Deleted User Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I should have said that you were totally blameless Mr P since you were following behind the Chinnmeister who when he saw me thumbing a lift indicated that he would be back in two minutes by use of his fingers.I'd still be waiting if it wasn't for Pink Lycra Guy.Currently sitting in the holding cells of Avignon Police Station charged with "removing a bicyclette sans permission".They're very nice here and allow internet access and I've already seen my new cellmate, a very large bald chap in a vest with about a week's growth and a Mexican moustache.He looks really friendly as he beamed at me with a broad smile when he saw me and I look forward to building a new Scottish/French relationship over the next few days.I do hope he likes shortbread.Speak to you all soon.McJim.

Ben Hutchings Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I made some shortbread lastnight.. came in from the pub and fancied some, googled it, saw it only comprised 3 ingredients and took 30 mins so by 12:30am we had warm shortbread and a nice cup of tea!Um... not that anyone wanted to know this, but you comment reminded me so I wrote it and now you've read it and can't unread it so there! ah-ha!

Beans Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 McJim, glad to read that you're enjoying yourself in France. :)You got me seriously worried in Dormelletto when you tried to bribe me to take you with me in the wedge :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Dear All,My large new French friend didn't seem to speak any English but was very concerned that I was cold and suggested, in sign language, that we share a bed to keep warm.I tried to explain that what I really wanted right there and then was a black pudding supper.By doing this in using my hands to show what a black pudding supper was my French friend got very excited.When he understood that the only way he could get one was when I was out of the cell, he promptly grabbed one of the gendarmes, knocked him out and stole his keys.However, I was a bit wary of the glint in his eye and could see that he had other things on his mind - I'm not stupid. I'd heard that Scotland beat France in some game where balls were involved. I'm sure that he was going to exact retribution, so I legged it.Just by chance, I bumped into some Scottish supporters heading home.They turned out to be a lost faction of the Tartan Army, who had passed over their tradional brew of lager / irn bru tops for a cheeky little Bordeaux - They still had half a 2000 litre cask in the back of the van!Anyway, we're now heading north, on the run from Pink Lycra Man, Hairy Sweaty Vest Man Wanting His Black Pudding and the entire French police.Soon as I reach foreign parts, England to you lot, I'll pop round to Tim's house and ask him if he forgot something in Aosta.He's such a scatterbrain - too much latex fetish if you ask me!Anyway, we're nearing Reims now. I know its Reims cause I just saw Andy Flexney still going round in circles looking for Paul Darbyshire.We lost Andy when he was taking us to find a late night petrol station there on the way down. Unfortunately Paul elected to lead in his car. "Follow me! I have no idea where I'm going!"True CT spirit!That's the end of tonight's postcard from France.Just going to settle down to an interesting concoction of Bordeaux, Irn Bru and Vimto.Night, night everyone.McJim.

Tim Bancroft Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Any recent sightings?By the way the bag was so big that I reckon he had about 3 weeks clothing in it. I doubt if he has started to smell yet. He brought a big bag along as he thought we were going in Dreadnought, GT6 change made visibility interesting!

Deleted User Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Greetings from afar!I say that as the ferry is about to dock.Three nights out of it after Bordeaux, Irn Bru and Vimto and I find we're about to dock ........ in Morocco!Oh great!I thought I'd be home by now but my fellow Tartan Army friendlies have decided that that they want to pick up a "wee bit o' blaw" on the way home.It's what you need to while the cold dark nights away in the wee but 'n ben in the glen through the winter but the rate (and direction) we're going, we'll see the winter out with a tan.So, after Casablanca, it's Benidorm.Cheap booze, cheap burds and cheap flights home.Actually, I've nae money left but we reckon we can slip a few of us onto a Thomas Cook plane all the way home tae bonny Scotland.Brings a tear tae a glass eye!Still, if we get bumped aff at Heathrow, ma auld pal Tim is jist doon the road.He'll no mind putting me and eight members of the Tartan Army up fur a couple a days till we get our drinking legs back.Anyway, must go.Wee Eck is about tae get lifted by thae Morrocan polis for trying to molest a camel!Aw wee Eck's jist lonely, he says. He's missing his wee pussycat back hame in dear auld Glasgow. Or I think that's what he said!A nation of animal lovers - as any sheep will tell you!Jings, crivvens and help ma boab!Will let you know when we're in Staines!"Hullaw there Tim, ma auld China!"McJim.

Tim Bancroft Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Jeez, one of the best threads ever.Has McJim got home after the RBRR, I expect he has been bothering the locals in Cornwall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 No, no ... don't you worry ... I made sure he returned to Scotlandshire without troubles :POK, he did feel the need to bother a few "Southern" locals on the way up but nothing really worrying :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 He made it back from Italy fine... unfortunately he got lost in the mists of Cornwall on the RBRR... the Beast of Bodmin has nothing on him apparently... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bad Netherlander!So the Beast of Bodmin drives a Peugeot 207.Not very scary.Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 So, the colour of exuberance is brown then? :)Just received 14 safety camera tickets throught the post this morning.Funny, they all seem to be when a certain Limburg resident was driving and I was asleep.Wouldn't mind, but 11 of them are for the same speed camera!Knew I should never have given him a hard time for not bringing any vlaai. :PJim.
