Twice half its length!

That is the most stupid answer to the most well known simile I have heard all year. (a short year, I know, but you hear alot).

Twice half is the same, so its like saying, 'the length is the length.' Genial

And better still, in this case, the cost is the cost - which it most certainly is.

Poor Bumble Cry Homesick? Time to come back to England? It's 2ºC outside, force 6 north-easterly; honestly, stay where you are until it gets a bit warmer !

I know what the weather was like, I was cycling all day... Nice offroad tracks, so muddy at times that the bike wouldn't change gears. As for clothing, there's nothing better than a rashvest and an Aquafleece to keep warm. And no, before you ask, I've never tried to cycle in a wetsuit! Didn't need to get rescued, though but one of my mates did. Broke his bike and walked a fair bit... I bet he wouldn't do that in his own Contender !
