A bit pre-emptive but next week will be 10 Months

A bit chilly and icy this morning in Edinburgh but a beautiful sunny morning nonetheless. These kind of mornings shouldn't be wasted. So without further ado I'm going to renounce my stupid bout of man flu, go to Tesco's for a breakfast of heart-attack and then a wee cycle along the c a nal to Falkirk.

Have a good day y'all :D

Cant believe it wouldn't let me write c**** !!!!!!:eek:

C a nals are artificial channels for water. There are two types of c****s: water conveyance c****s, which are used for the conveyance and delivery of water, and waterways, which are navigable transportation c****s used for passage of goods and people, often connected to existing lakes, rivers, or oceans.;)

Did you make it back ok?

Are you trying to type cαnαl? The site doesn't like anything with the the word αnαl in it.

Nor does it like the speciαlist because i contains the word ciαlis.

Actually, yeah I was planning on getting the train back but a friend had the same idea and called 'round for a cycle. Instead we came off at Linlithgow and went over the other side of the motorway, get into Hopetoun Estate and then down by the Forth, but keep high instead of South Queensferry and back into Edinburgh. Phew, 40 miles and I was nearly an hour off our usual pace...I told him I was ill :eek: Still it was great to get out :D

Hope you had a good walk with the Boxers...but see'n I didn't get further west I didn't see any Boxers. :)

And, Nic how did you manage to type c**** :confused:

Hehe,

That would be telling ;)

Ahh well, its all in the a's or rather α's - see the difference - the 1st one is typed from the keyboard and the 2nd is one of the symbols in Word, I have a text document on my desktop with the list of links I type often and the word "α" to copy and paste when needed.

Its one of the methods spammers use to get round naughty word filters.

Thanks Jan, Carl and Dubbs. In the early difficult days it was quite a struggle but it was good to have the experiences of those just in front, such as RobertB and others, to help me along. The people further down the line kept saying, "it does get easier", and they were right. :cool:

Keep on keepin' on folks :)

Cavalier,

Didn't realise you were a fellow resident......40 miles on the Can@l is impressive. We usually do Water of Leith as we live along the banks but only half the distance.

Can u PM the route - don't want to block board with OT's.....

I'll need to be more cautious of describing my boss etc in the future, who knows who's watching / listening!

Cavalier,

Linlin, Dubbs, Tomatpots and I will keep a spot for you in the penthouse when you make it. (we're the November 2007 quitters)

Mind you, the cake and booze will have run out by then, so it's up to you to supply some "refreshment";)

No worries, there's always something left over from Xmas/New Year...glass of Advocaat anybody? :D

Seriously though, I saw your post re your OH and hope that the percentages start to work in his favour...even if a bit delayed! Try to keep positive through this coming week, for the both of you.

Regards,

C

Thanks Tomatpots,

A 'pre-emptive' congrats for your 12 month celebrations. I take it you'll be on the sauce :D
