The weekend saw a spirited send off for Clarendon Park resident and frequenter of Babalas, Ian Reeds. Ian is on a mission to shake off the demons of a broken relationship. He is cycling from here across France to Italy, where he’s going to take a shower at Ron Combo’s, Grappa Hell paradise. From there he will continue down through the former Yugoslavia, before catching a ferry back to southern Italy, back up to Ron’s for a second shower, then west across the South of France to Barcelona. Paris will be the next destination, then back home, eventually, to Queens Road, where he would appreciate it if the road is lined by girls waving flags and the bunting is out, last used for the Queens Silver Jubilee in 1976. It must be in a box under a cupboard under the stairs somewhere. Is it in the Conservative Club?

I've got the Rimmingtons here and they are just HOOVERING up the wine in my cellar. Hope there's some left for when the Cycling One pitches up!
Never mind about all that, just remember that Our Dear Monarch's Jubilee was in 1977.

very praiseworthy - but - i presume he knows the demons will not be shaken off that easily. Cycling is by no means fast enough.
This makes me feel bad. Very bad.
Oh you fool Affer - just pick up the 'phone and tell him how you feel.
He's bloody well there! Arrived on Tuesday night and it's all of 900 miles. Shit!
Toby.....is that expostulation aimed at me in some way?
Well, he's been and gone. Left behind a map of northern Italy and three plastic straps, so he could save weight. He wants you to collect them and take them back on your next visit.
He also did a fair bit of hoovering on the wine and grappa front. Good boy.
