Any roles for cyclists? I am meeting a journalist in town

Graham
I had time to kill once at Heathrow so got on the airport bus and did a tour so I was prepared for when I was in a rush. The bus stopped between terminals because the Concorde was about to take off. It needed a long runway. So I sat looking up at the giant bird-I could even see the passengers- as a bloke on either side of the road manually wound the fence back to create a gap for the Concorde to pass through. I guess that so much money went into the Concorde that nothing was left for a couple of simple motors to open and close the fence. Safe travels. Ian

And Jane & I currently sitting at Heathrow 3 Gate 40 awaiting our flight to Canberra via Singapore. Normally I’d whinge about such a ‘long’ flight, but compared to how you are travelling to Singapore, our 13 hour sit will be a doddle.

A few weeks early for the world famous Winton film festival but you might meet some of the movers & shakers behind this fabulous event.
It’ll be held in June this year.

Sad to see, but quite a nice specimen! If I'd been there, I would have been tempted to take its skin.

Graham Tell C&C to get out to Charleville. I'm sure they'll name a street after them and you can count on a CC's greasy chicken joint

Please stop for a beer at the Blue Healer Hotel. Last time I was there 7 groups of travellers stopped in to pay $5 each for a sticker while I was having a middy with Dad. Not one of them had a drink or bought anything else. The publican was really up for a yarn and gave us our sticker for no extra charge as we left.

I'd assume that 150 years of natural selection would have yielded horses with toothpick legs by now ?

If you want to listen to this then you are desperate for something to do. What's wrong with watching ants?

Just the second time for me. The first, with Joel and Graham in SA, I cycled many kms and could do it if I followed the line on the edge of the road. Looking sideways Sent me all over the show. Flashing lights in a cafe finished me.
