Food & Drink / Re: What are you having for supper tonight?

« Last post by Jurek on Today at 09:45:13 pm »

Sainos bung-in-the-oven Chicken Jalfrezi & rice, (with added Encona hot chilli sauce and freshly chopped coriander).
Just done a 15hr day (Fruit-named computer company launched a new product today) fuelled only by couple of sarnies, Earl Grey tea and four satsumas.
Normally, I'd eat only salads of an evening.
But right now, I need something hot.
Only 10 minutes 'til it is ready...

I *think* the ‘horribleness’ to which I referred upthread was a fatal RTC, where the driver had been immediately post-Audax.
I can’t remember any details.

‘Getting away’ with risky behaviour umpteen times does not make it less risky or justify repetition...

The late, great Dave Pountney used to organise an annual 240 miles in 24 hours standard ride for the then local CTC DA (Birmingham & Midland) in the 1970's which I first rode in 1972 at the age of 17. Dave split the group into two and I remember being in the first group. At around 4am everyone was feeling a bit tired so we all pulled over to a nice grassy bank at the side of the road and had a short sleep. Dave's group came along some time later and was furious and telling everyone that it was a bad idea to have a short sleep as we would all be even more tired and for ages! I was to naïve to take much notice in those early days but I completed the event feeling fine and then rode home later.

In more recent times I helped out at Kings YHA during the Bryan Chapman 600 weekend and drove home afterwards without any problem at all on the Sunday morning having worked throughout the night.
