I've just realised that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day but it seems to have slipped under the radar somewhat.
Not that I'm available this evening (and of course we have R15 coming up on Saturday), but what "Cannon Street Run" would we have been up to this year?

Shall we do it next week instead? Pure self-interest as I'll be in London.

Thursday would be best, but could juggle work finish time to do Tuesday or Wednesday if that works for more people.Going Underground wrote: ↑20 Sep 2024, 15:27What day do you have in mind?EastActionWoman wrote: ↑20 Sep 2024, 15:02 Shall we do it next week instead?

Re: Talk Like a Pirate Day
I have a cold at the moment (hopefully not picked up during the R15!) but if I've shaken it off by Thursday evening, I'll be there.

Re: Talk Like a Pirate Day
**** STORM ALERT ****
The waters look far to choppy to sail tonight and Bosun Richard is not feeling to well so I propose that we do NOT set sail this evening
We can possibly look at sailing at a later today, but those seven seas are even to rough for the hardy Cap'n Kev tonight

Re: Talk Like a Pirate Day
Damn and blast! Just heard that the Northern line has big trees all over the tracks, so I've headed back to calmer waters.
Shame not to see you guys but hopefully will make it for an R15 this season.
