got a bike?   -  ride it you lazy ........

To be fair, it's a bit harsh suggesting she should cycle Leeds to Leicester! Although she would arrive faster than waiting for the TVM▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) to spew out 14 tickets.

yeah maybe, but with a bit of effort.....
speaking of which, a bit of blatent thread hijacking, but in our area and all in a good cause and just to prove what's possible... check out www.coastpathrun.co.uk  -  2 guys running the south west coast path, that's about 700 miles, in just two weeks.

But you were the one who posted it here on this forum. You did have a choice, no one forced you to post it.

No-one forced you to click on the link! Many posters post articles from various newspapers. I do not read them all.

Actually, I think it's raised a good question about the ticketing system. For once, the DM▸ (Dilton Marsh) actually haven't made it up!

Which as I said, is a quote from the DM. Blame them, not me. I am entitled to post it.

It seems pretty obvious what the contents of this thread will be from the title, and you don't have to read every thread, methinks some people only clicked on this thread to insult the OP▸ (Original Poster / topic starter).

I love the "stunned". A bit like "jammed switchboard" or "inundated" in the hyperbole stakes. Guaranteed to have Disgruntled of Stoke Poges choking on his game chips.
