Wait... WHAT??!?  Then the whole Brexit omnishambles was FOR NOTHING!!1!

Also it seems EU passports don't have to be Burgundy anyway, the Croatians have blue ones

You mean , I could just have taken Croatian nationality ?

That James Rand, magician and most excellent sceptic and debunker of Uri Geller and US TV faith healers is gay.

Apropos nothing other than it was a shame it took him so long to find happiness in his personal life. It was just a small part of a documentary on his life the other night. He's getting very frail now:(

[Mr Larrington]

That there is such a thing as ytong, what is another name for aerated concrete blocks.

Have to say, he'd definitely be one of my Fantasy Dinner Party guests...

That the sainted Terry Pratchett authored the book 'Where's My Cow?', which Vimes reads to Young Sam in 'Thud'.

Now I want a copy...

The old stiff British passports with sharp corners were a right pain in a money belt, for this reason, as well as others, i rejoiced when i got my first bendy, round cornered EUROPEAN passport.

That was TLD's introduction to the ouvre.

[Ham]

I have a copy as it was put on sale for Amazon pre-release along with Thud and - as ever with a TP - I bought it. When it arrived I had a bit ovva surprise.

[Torslanda]

I now HAZ a copy!

Well, I did for all of two minutes before the youngest nicked it, read it from cover to cover giggling like a loon. Something he does all too well for a 10 yr old . . .

Just been searching online for pictures of the old CTC Winged Wheel plaque and found a website that lists locations of ones that are still in existence:
http://www.wingedwheels.info/

And so it is that I have also discovered that there is one in Charing, just down the road from me. I pass through Charing on my bike often, but I have never noticed it before. Just looked it up on Google Street View, and what do you know, there it is...

ETA:
And another not much further away in Bethersden: https://goo.gl/maps/cTGWNSfk7gy
And one in Lenham: https://goo.gl/maps/wmWNuhp2ZLR2

This is starting to look like the basis for a route...

[Basil]

Thanks for the reminder.  I've just sent him the street view link to the "Headquarters" Winged Wheel on the Porth Hotel in Llandysul.

He doesn't have it listed and I've been meaning to do it for about a year now.

[citoyen]

That's a nice one! 

[Basil]

Actually Citers, were you aware that a Winged Wheel thread exists?

Well, that's another thing I've learned today. Cheers!

The first words of one of my cousins were "Where have my cows gone?"

This was prompted by the cows which were usually in the field next door having been replaced by a lot of camping Girl Guides (what they were called at the time).

Until then he'd made unintelligible to anyone else noises to his slightly older sister & she'd spoken for him.

I never knew that existed.  My eldest will be getting a copy for his fourth birthday.
