"Herge's adventures of 'Tits Out & Gasping'"

Sounds like a good title for a silly-AAA points grimpeur.
Seeking a suitable village, I googled "Titsowt";
google insisted that I meant "Tits Out" ...

Or if it were a Welsh ride it could start at St Mellons.

I'm probably not the only person who was typing "gasping" into Google maps search just now then.

It's made it this far north

Excellent photos (or is that just 'cos I'm in there?)
I loved Damon's article, and the Peak grimpeurs article has left me teetering on the edge of my seat, waiting for the concluding half.
Which is this 'bus shelter' photo of which we speak?
Lastly, inspired by this thread, I think that Drew Buck should do his next PBP as Tintin.

Has anyone received the November Arrivee yet? I'm told they went in the post on Friday so I would have hoped some of you would have seen on by now. (I hope I don't get inundated under a pile of replies here)

Yes, me, 2443.

Arrivee has now arrived in the Borders so it will be very quiet for a while

PS Good pic of Mr and Mrs Ernst inside front cover

Modesty obviously prevents you mentioning a picture of your good selves on p.57.

In Paul's article. Well, I suppose it's OK. But not even possible to see who's in the photo. No idea who they are at all.

Dunno, how many people rode tandem trikes?

On the subject of lookalikes, has anyone ever seen Arabella and Emma Pooley in the same room? Eh?

Arabella

Emma Pooley

Do we think they might, perchance, be related?

rob · « **Reply #864 on:** 09 November, 2011, 09:20:36 pm »

Arse. Forgot to give AUK my new address.

Will need to wait for the redirection.

Flattered

. She is younger, faster and fitter than I am. Though I don't think we've ever been in the same room. Nor are we related so far as I know.
And she looks like a proper cyclist.

Have sent off my renewal form too.

Arrivee has arrived in home counties. One hesitates to say it in case peeps think previous ones have been less than perfect, which is not what I'm saying at all, but there is some really stunning writing in this edition. Quite brilliant, I especially like the one about men in sheds. Since I am
A) over 52 and
B) do not have a shed (although I'd really really like one but do not have a garden in which to put same.)

The PBP "the easy way" was also a cracking read. I haven't been through all of the mag yet. I suspect i might go back and read some of these articles a second time. Pix are very good as well. Worth the membership fee in itself, IMO.

I've finally made it onto the hallowed pages of Arrivée

Roll on Saturday when I can sit down at home with a cup of tea & a bacon butty & read it all

Strange absence of any recumbents I notice...

"Tits Out & Gasping"

Sounds like the nickname of a tandem crew.

Sounds like a magazine for asthmatic bird-watchers
