Floatel:

I'm glad we're on the same page. It looks really elegant reflected on the water. Society, in general, needs more of this type of facility.

Inside was a bit different

But I agree, in principle there is a lot of space there that could be used like this on non-tidal rivers and lakes. I genuinely wonder why it didn't catch on more.

Could do with some of them in Oz. Surprised it hasn't caught on given our obsession with living 'on the water'... or being as close to it as possible.
The Floatel fits the brief perfectly.

Point taken about the inside.
Certain venues do age poorly, however if you had to start from scratch today... you could do something really 'of the times'.

Horse racing the day after

Though tomorrow I have a 3.5 hour round trip to pick up the old man, as he suffers from anxiety when out and about so can't do public transport, so hoping it isn't weeing it down.

Infinity Wars before midnight, Endgame after midnight? Is that how it works?

I agree, PJ, with the new materials available as well, something truly stunning could be done, and Ground floor rooms could be at a premium for a change...

Yep, spot on. Starts at 20:45, then 15 minute break, then Endgame.

Then a bit of a nap... then wake up, then some breakfast... then off to the racecourse. Fully dressed of course.

Is this the start of your Spring racing season or is it already underway?

Start (ish) of the Flat racing season, it officially kicks of at Doncaster, at the Lincoln festival, but the crowds are a bit much for that, so we go to the one straight after it, at the same course.

It is only £35 for Premier tickets which means you have a good bar, and are in cover etc. which is pretty good.

Pretty good value indeed.

Finally got round to watching Infinity War. It's very good and I look forward to seeing Endgame about 3 years from now.

I will keep it spoiler free on here until then, supes.

I wouldn't worry about spoilers Rick. I can never remember which of these films I've seen and what happened in any of them, so spoilers are largely redundant.

I find that happens with relatives and their respective dramas.

Galted's going to be furious when he discovers that I'm refusing to go to Reykjavik in August.

Mrs Superfly is planning to run the marathon with her friend and they are looking for me and her friend's husband to tag along to support. I'm refusing on the grounds that her friend's husband is a bell-end and I can't stand him. Fair to say that there's a certain amount of tension at home.

It is a perfectly valid excuse, just ask her to wear a go-pro, and a headset, and you can cheer her all the way around.

Also maybe plant a hollow anal plug full of coke in the guys luggage.

A proportionate and acceptable response to his bell-endishness.

Fist and an unmichaelsing of my own post.

A fist for me.

Sicond-gratulations!

F*cking foreign Friday fist.

I really wanted a fist this morning, but didn't feel it was right to de-michaels myself. The internal conflict has left me quite drained.

A tardy turd.

I have no problem with anyone de-michaelsing themselves as long as they use a fist to do so.

Unless it's a weekend fist, that would be terribly poor form.

A few days missed, fist.

Morning rick, it's been non-stop on here, as you can see.

It has taken most of the morning to go through the posts to see if I have missed anything, Jules.

It appears not.

How was your weekend?

I played tennis and won, which is quite unusual these days.

Saw Endgame on Thursday. Good, but not great.

Did you end up with champagne or shirtless at the races?

Well done, I am rubbish at tennis, though pretty decent at Badminton, and bang average at squash.

I though it was great, 1 major gripe, and a couple of minor ones, but nothing I am going into here for obvious reasons.

Shirtless, I won nowt... The old man did, the missus did, and my friend did, but not me. Though I didn't have to buy a drink after the racing, which was nice.

I was going to pop on early and fist, but I decided to leave it for Galted in case he was injured. They get a bit shirty themselves if you don't follow etiquette. 

Just back from a week in New Zealand. Gorgeous country, particularly the South Island, although I mainly just went to spots they used for filming Lord of the Rings.

Rivendell and Mordor?

Cheers, Flipper. Thought I’d take a break from fisting as I did quite a lot last week.

JuliusHMarx wrote:Rivendell and Mordor?

Both, indeed. The list is long, some very incidental places, but Hobbiton was incredible.

So-fist-icated

Such a fist does not deserve a michaelsing.

Fist.

Wotcha, Galts.

All well in the world?

Alas poor Boon Gould aka Galted

Fast(ish) fist.

You made a good fist of that one, rick.

I don't chew bacca.

Fist.

Apologies for the tardiness but yes, all is well.

I hope this applies to you as well.

May the fourth third be with him.

Feels like a sh!t Bank Holiday on here. Is it?

We can't all be Chewy.. surely.

Fist

Mrs Marx thinks bank holidays are entirely for doing chores. Does my head in. I'd rather have been at work.

I would rather have been off...

Fist, morning, all.

Sicond.

Galted is back in the UK and is once again referring to himself on the 3rd person. What a character!

Torrid.

So did you enjoy SA, mate? I hope you all had a great time there.

Was super, thanks, didn't get shot or eaten once.

Glad you made it back alive.

When's Carry On Up The Cape coming out?

Haha, was in the diagonal opposite end of the country. Carry On Coping With Malaria is coming out soon.
