My favourite tactic is to head straight towards them and just as they are about to pounce making a very fast and sharp turn, leaving them addressing or leafleting thin air.

Yes, mine's for thatching, I don't want my hairline going back any further at least. Sorry you've got BPH, must be very inconvenient but at least it's "B", not "M"!.

I just hope they last another couple of days until I pick up my prescription - I've just paid them for a year's supply of Finasteride!

Yes, the "Gordano Viaduct" is about 5 miles south-west of the Bridge and formally known as the Wynhol Viaduct.

Depends on the glass size! 2 x 250ml = 2/3 bottle, which isn't too bad. 2 x 125ml would be mean though.

And don't forget the A610 lane closures (daytime) and road closures (night) in the Stockhill Lane area. A tram from Cinderhill P&R is normally a good way to avoid driving down the A610 into the city.

Strange, it's on Google Maps, but not their own map?

Greggs is literally 1 minute away out of the side entrance!

Tell me about it! I had a suspect knee and wanted to get as close as possible to the clinic near the station with as little walking as possible. Normally my bus would take me nearly there, but they're terminating on the other side of the city due to the car park demolition on Maid Marian Way...

Well, I've had at least one pint in five of them. I've no doubt someone will pop up who's bagged all ten though!

Are you suggesting the ORR's independence is compromised? That seems like a serious allegation to make against its members, given that it is a statutory independent body answerable to parliament and the courts, not to a minister. I hope you have some evidence of this compromise. The ORR members...

I'm glad they are restoring the 1605 St. Pancras to Nottingham service, I've hit that gap a few times recently.

Well, I *was* laser focused on the cider!

If real cider is good enough for CAMRA, it should be good enough to qualify as a rail enthusiast! One positive is that at a typical heritage railway beer & cider festival, there are often just the right number of ciders to be able to sample them all without either running out of choices or...

Well in that case I'll give a shout out to the Wolfe & Castle micropub, 200m from Rochester station. Great selection of real ale (which didn't interest me) but also some lovely local cider from Turners, which did, including bottles to take out. And there was a lovely greyhound.
