    Mrs Wife has just called to say we're having a colleague over for dinner on Sunday. Hoho nothing wrong there. Oh, I have to pick her up from Heathrow T5 as she's flying in from Budapest. Do you think it would be okay for her to stay the night with us as she's only over for meetings on Monday and is flying back Monday night. I'll need to drive them into London Monday morning as they need to be in for a 7am meeting. Elephants, that's what I say. Elephants.


    Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

      Into Londinium for a 7AM meeting? Nasty. Very nasty if it's the wrong part...I am soooooo glad I don't have to do that any more! :GloatGloatGloatSmiley:

        On a clear road, it's 45 minutes to their offices - straight up the A3 then left after Vauxhall Bridge. POP. Coming out of London at 7am on a Monday morning on the other hand will be a tad more trying.

          Just wait till Trevor next door, who is having double glazing fitted, comes round for coffee. He will see aforementioned house guest and, being the 'Ladies Man' that he is will attempt to seduce her. This will lead to a sequence of increasingly improbable and yet charmingly amusing incidents culminating in the need for a pint and to buy a new Fish Tank.

                  THE A3, on a Monday morning? It's a good few years since I was doing that between the M25 and the Esher turnoff, and it was hell then.

                  One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

                      We'll be going through around 6, shouldn't be stupid by then. I also did Ripley-Esher when I worked over in Epsom, it was less than fun going in for 8:30. BTW, do you know The Plough in Horsell? It's under new management and is very nice again.

                                  We'll be going through around 6, shouldn't be stupid by then. I also did Ripley-Esher when I worked over in Epsom, it was less than fun going in for 8:30. BTW, do you know The Plough in Horsell? It's under new management and is very nice again.

                                  No - never drank in the area, I always had to ride home.

                                    Mrs Wife has just called to say we're having a colleague over for dinner on Sunday. Hoho nothing wrong there. Oh, I have to pick her up from Heathrow T5 as she's flying in from Budapest. Do you think it would be okay for her to stay the night with us as she's only over for meetings on Monday and is flying back Monday night. I'll need to drive them into London Monday morning as they need to be in for a 7am meeting. Elephants, that's what I say. Elephants.

                                    So the interview at the taxi company went well! Why didn't you tell us?
