Despite being absolutely shattered I just wanted to post a quick note on the forum that I made it back ok! I’m sitting on the computer at Biggus’ house now, who’s just ordered up some curry, beer in one hand and fag in the other
The ride down wasn’t too bad, bloody long though… First thing I did in the UK really was stopping for a fry-up in a town called Wakefield. Nothing like some eggs, bacon and sausage to welcome you back to jolly old England. Apparently the place is also famous for its maximum-security prison, but unless I go on a murderous rampage I doubt I’ll be back there anytime soon.
Tomorrow I have a job interview in Hammersmith at 2pm and I’ll be at the meeting afterwards… looking forward to see everyone
Nice one Stefan! Welcome back home! Just in time for the BMM tomorrow! (hopefully, understand if not mate). Really glad everyone pulled together and helped get you back! Will be in contact soon regarding a write-up
WELL DONE!!! That is fantastic news!
I tell you, this working together has really made people feel good. It’s not nice having people in trouble, but I feel soooo proud everyone’s worked together. I’m so grateful to ChoccyMuffin for telling me to visit this site.
I’ll be at the meeting tonight for sure, but it looks like I’m coming on the Tube since I’ll be wearing a suit and the radiator cooling fan on my bike is jammed which caused no problems getting here, but which will cause a headache (eg. over-heating and thermo-nuclear explosion) if I try to ride in London stop-and-go traffic in hot weather
Will be sorted though, I’ll pull the whole cooling system tomorrow once I get my hands on some antifreeze and de-io’d water to refill it again afterwards. Biggus, whose amazing hospitality I’ve enjoyed since getting in last night, assures me he has all the tools I need…
See you all tonight… Just look for the bloke dressed like he’s selling something…
"Just look for the bloke dressed like he’s selling something… "
Yeah - yourself!
Good luck with the interview, I’m sure you’ll be able to use the story of your ‘escape’ to good effect. If nothing else it’ll certainly mean they remember you!
