I got caught in an X-certificate holdup on the M6 at J19. I was sorely tempted to escape out of the back gate of Knutsford services, but instead I inched grimly forward and escaped via the A50.

Now I have a new hotel room with en suite athletics track!

East Lancs? No Thanks.

They still haven't finished the 50mph Smart motorway 'upgrade' on the M60, they've been doing that since 1998 or something.

Yes they have. happy

It only took 3 years of 50mph traffic to put up some speed cameras and some signs up Colbert

Lanes opened up - 0

My Bolton dwelling friend confirmed that that work was finally finished.

I am now home from Holiday 2018. It took 2 hours to go the 75 miles from Welwyn to home, and I left at 6.10. I had to get up at 3am!

When I got back to work today, my desk was all disarranged, and my monitor had been unplugged and my little Titan of Braavos model removed from the top of it and dumped on the desktop.

Apparently, without giving me any warning, they'd had people in to clean all the surfaces.

Still, I was less annoyed than I would have been, because the very annoying person who's been sharing our office had packed his bags and left while I was away dance

Only two problems, I’m skint, can’t speak Norwegian, and there’s no flights from the airport I can get a bus too.

Actually that’s three isn’t it?

by Guest Sun Oct 14, 2018 8:35 pm

It's also Bergen I need to get to.

by Nightjar Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:07 pm

There'a another problem...

£11 a pint.

Or something like that.

Probably more these days. sad yes

That's what Nico was on about in this song I reckon.

How much is aquavit?

by Nightjar Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:03 pm

A pint?

by Guest Mon Oct 15, 2018 9:35 am

If that's what ~~the Pope~~ King Harald V drinks no wonder they have to carry him around in that big chair.

Now to brush up on my Norwegian
Yes - Ja

No - Nei

Please - Vær så snill

thanks - Takk

A large Bigmac and fries please - En stor Bigmac og frites takk

A pint of your finest Aquavit please - En pint av din fineste Aquavit takk
That was a most banging tune - Det var en mest banging melodi

Please put away your Herring gutting knife I have been to Rio De Janeiro and laugh at your attempt to rob me - Vennligst legg bort din Herring gutting kniv jeg har vært i Rio De Janeiro og ler på ditt forsøk på å rane meg

I think that should cover every eventuality

by Guest Wed Oct 17, 2018 12:38 pm

I can't decide if I want to go to the Leprosy Museum or Museum of Norwegian Knitting Industry first!

by Guest Wed Oct 17, 2018 12:52 pm

Or shall I go to the Kunstmuseer?

That sounds intriguing.
