The Odd Couple?

Paul, how is your knee holding up after taking part in the 1000m challenge and is Jennifer feeling a little more comfortable now?

The Pink Star Heist - Episode Four Okay Jill. Motive number one. Mb, I hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to have to listen to some of your crackpot and far-fetched theories :?: I’ll ignore that remark. :roll: Motive number one: All the Stars are precious and ‘ eyewateringly ‘ expensive, so fresh su...

A few weeks after I started rowing, I posted this message on the Beginners Thread, " A very welcome development, my balance has greatly improved. Before, I couldn't stand on one leg, left or right without toppling over straight away. Now I can do a very passable impression of a flamingo ' limbe...

Tootsie?

Thank you Plummy. It would be very difficult for the culprit to bundle several flamingoes into his or her bag of swag. I can still stand on one leg and when I do, I still look like a flamingo ( albeit a moth - eaten one ) ' limbering up '.

Catch up time for me on this thread. :) New PB for the 1000 today. 3.3 seconds off my previous PB at a race three weeks ago. This one was much more controlled. In the end I finished in 3:41.7, about 2.5 seconds below my old PB Well done Jan and Kirstin - that's quite an improvement for you both - I'...

Sounds like I'm temporarily on the top of the 6Mm stack. Peggy, enjoy every minute of being on top of the 6,000,000m stack - you’ve earned it - if I’m not mistaken, that’s another very fast million - 6,000,000 x =D> :) Well earned Stars also, for Felton and Jan. ( Jan, thank you for being such a go...

Yes Rob, do try and make it if you can - it was a pleasure to meet you last year. :) I’m still dithering about what to do but no prizes for guessing that a marathon would be way beyond my capabilities. I’ve been wondering if Stan will decide to come - even if he didn’t feel the inclination to race, ...

Someone close to me thinks you've named him as a suspect or should I say extra He claims to have an alibi, he's been busy finding me an avatar :lol: :lol: :lol: Brilliant =D> Sheena, any halfway decent mystery must contain some red herrings … Oh. Wait. I’ve just remembered. #-o This isn’t going to ...

Do your worst - I'll never crack, no matter what you threaten me with Wasn't me guv'nor- honest Plummy, as a member of the Forum Police, I’m surprised at you, aiding and abetting me in this taradiddle or ( for Barbara’s benefit ) cockamamie story. [-X :lol: :wink: Do your worst We’ll certainly do o...

Oh dear. If you keep stepping over that erg in the middle of your living room rather than actually using it, the consequences are somewhat predictable. March 2015 - 17st 12lb (113kg) Autumn 2015 - 17st 3lb (109kg) March 2016 - 17st 12lb (113kg) - back to square one Rob, a setback after all your har...

Fingers crossed Jason Ours will be crossed as well Jason. :) Without wishing to put anyone on the spot, would this get me there on time and what are my chances of availing of the exceptional transfer service that I have enjoyed in previous years? Failing this, I presume other transport options are ...

We're booked into the Normanhurst Hotel for the Saturday Night.

Really pleased to read that the ' not sures ' Peter and Eric are coming and will be keeping fingers, toes and everything else crossed that Paul will be able to make it too.

Didn't quite work out as I hoped it might. My knee was very stiff today, so I think I should probably wait until I have spoken to my physio before doing any more rowing. Paul, how is your knee feeling this morning and when do you see your physio again and what did he say about your shoulder? How is...

Jill sounds like you're shaping up a new detective series: Meterboard Mysteries, first installment -- The Pink Star Heist. I am but unfortunately, I think it will be savaged by the critics and bomb after this first series, in which case, The Meterboard Mystery might be more apt. :lol: I did toy wit...

Paul, glad to hear that your physio has okayed some gentle erging. ( The spellchecker changed this sentence to ( Paul, glad to hear that your psychic has okayed some gentle urging ) - does that mean that you’re not likely to need any sort of surgery. Hope so.

How did Jennifer get on?

I, also, could hear the previous song in my head, but could not get enough of it to identify. Peter, having a song stuck inside your head is called an earworm - apparently, the best way to rid yourself of the tune is to replace it with another … Now I have "Breakdown" by Tom Petty stuck t...

Hello Mb, you’re looking very pleased with yourself. Jill, I’ve worked out who’s responsible for the theft of all your Pink Stars. :D You have :?: Yes. It’s quite obvious to anyone with half a brain. 8) Mb, are you saying that you only have half a brain :?: :lol: :wink: Very funny. :roll: [-X No, I’...

Can't think of the title but can hear the song in my head - ELO I think, if that's a help to anyone else?

You never invited me to stay with you! Upset now! Plummy, of course you can come and stay. :D Just make sure that you bring your iron with you - the laundry is piling up. :lol: :wink: Yorkshire is a place that time forgot. No loss. :shock: It's The Wars of The Roses. Again. :roll: :lol: :wink:

Ice cream all round I think Alan - 20,000,000 x =D> ^O^ By the way, you’re paying. :lol: :wink: Cheers Trev and all done on those crappy model Ds as well-I hope they get new ergs in June Steady on; :shock: [-X if our model D, aka Darth Vader reads your comments, things might start to feel a little t...

Paul, I’m very sorry to hear that since your arrival home, Jennifer has also fallen and hurt herself. You poor lambs. I hope that you both get on okay tomorrow - I’m sure that everything will be fixable - as long as the patients have patience. :wink: Best wishes to you both and take care. xx Jill an...

Very satisfying to see that all your hard work paid off Ann. A wonderful achievement. =D>

Jill and Richard

Oooooh :!: Barbara :!: This is so exciting. :D Although I’m from ‘ darn Sarf ‘, or Hampshire, to be more precise, we live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, which qualifies as being ‘ ooop North ‘ as well, so I’ll sort of echo Plummy here and say should your itinerary bring you to Yorkshire and I stress...
