Got to push that comfort zone like all go getters.

 

3:30 a.m. - Alarm goes off, up out of bed slip into the lycra and out for a quick 100 km cycle.

 

6:00 a.m. - Home and the three S's

 

6:15a.m.- breakfast, muesli (with bottled water) and maybe a banana.

 

6:30 a.m. - off to the station.

 

7:30 a.m. - arrive and wait for my driver, ready to ATTACK THE DAY.

I was just getting mildly excited / feeling happy about the nice weather and the forecast for the coming days. Then the inevitable reaction of the Palmersville locals popped into my head. apocalypse now horror GIF by Maudit

I remember going to Durham a few years back with a friend I invited up from London - born and bred southern lad, fairly sheltered from the realities of life north of Watford :lol: Anyway I told him Durham was a really nice little city, nice walk around etc. We got there over a bank holiday weekend and it felt like all of Sunderland had emptied itself into the place. Arrived at 1pm to absolute chaos in the main town areas, drunken fistfights, screaming mackem spawn, it was breathtaking in its depravity. I could tell my mate was reeling from this a bit so I said we'd get some money and head into the quieter bits around the Cathedral - stood in line behind a bloke in a Sunderland top. Waited for about 60 seconds before I realised he was pissing on/into the ATM in a drunken haze. The whole scene was like Mordor had emptied and successfully conquered Minas Tirith.

 

We just got back on the train in the end, and I felt incredibly ashamed of the north for a good few hours... thanks for that Sunderland.

In olden days castles, for defensive reasons, often had a wide and deep trench dug around them, often then filled with water. Attacking armies had to take care to avoid falling into it, the act of not falling in was called moat-evasion. 

 

Armies that attacked and captured castles were said to be highly moat-evaded, those that failed and ran away were less moat-evaded.

What came first? castles with moats, or Raoul Moat. AI shite again, I rest my case your honour.

Expand  

Raoul Moat is celestial. He crashed down millions of years ago and dwelled in the sewers of Rothbury promising the local constabulary that they could all float too.
