I've just remembered. I have to change trains at Didcot this Friday night. Luckily the chuds prefer to eat young tender Oxford student, rather than me.

Looking up as we left Didcot, I spotted a red kite soaring over the train.

Sorry, but to be news, there would have to be no kite in sight.

The plumes of smoke looked blue this morning

What if there was a kite in its guano-filled nest?

No kite in flight in sight but shite in sight.

All of Didcot is very dull and very grey today.

Particularly the glum people.

clarion · « **Reply #385 on:** 11 October, 2012, 09:14:36 am »

Normal then?

The beautiful cooling towers and ugly Mail building at Foxhall Junction were joined by the ridiculous this afternoon: "I want to live in Didcot but still go to my school."

This came about a quarter of an hour after "Swindon looks nice."

$:-\$

I have just taken a lovely picture of
Didcot by night. You can't really see it.

Local News:
I had an email about "Tai Chi and Racketball free Taster Sessions"

Doesn't sound very relaxing ...

Oh, I dunno, taster sessions free of tai chi and racketball do sound fairly relaxing

My parents played racket ball.

Til my father stepped on the ball as it was mid-bounce and severed his achilles tendon.

They never went back.

Didcot is smothered in several plumes of power station steam.

Roger is giving me a run down on the engines in the station. The blue smiley one is Thomas, apparently.

On platform 2 there is a café that purports to sell coffee.

This turned out to be, to paraphrase Douglas Adams, "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee"

You have been warned!

Have just spotted a bearded and bespactacled citizen of Didcot riding his bike as far afield as Abingdon

mattc · « **Reply #396 on:** 24 November, 2012, 11:04:41 am »

... yeah - and it was rubbish. Covered in water. Parkrun cancelled.

Wouldn't happen in Didcot.

PaulF · « **Reply #397 on:** 24 November, 2012, 11:24:24 am »

I'm now in Bracknell. It makes didcot look positively glamorous.

Didcoty Parks are too dodgy to run in .... we were gonna run too . ... if had known in advance would have joined the 0630 to 0830 Outdoor Traders bike ride with free cake

Edit: Daughter tells me that there is a cancellation notice on fb, will now know to check in future.
