Tricky one isn't it! <br /><br />Just past the 10k, BRAPA party time! Party Poppers from Scunthorpe still in my cupboard left over from New Year's Eve. Still no Greenland, never had a Falklands, I think Venezuela is still about the most exotic! Good tactic with son. Might send Tom to Sao Tome and Principe.

Always...Publicising your blog, a delicate subject. Always courteous to let a pub you've wrote about them on the blog, as I suspect outside the cities they don't get written up much. More trickly when you've just said the beer is poor and their dog smells, but like you I believe in the truth (BRAPA or RetiredMartin version).<br /><br />I see you're approaching the big 10k - well done. Any exciting overseas views yet ? I'll swap one of my Saudi Arabias or Falklands for a Greenland if you have one of those.

How...You might end up having to do some moderating! How many BRAPA fans do you have to get before you start organising BRAPA conventions where you give autographs?<br /><br />Will you have any time to go for a pub tick when the Ipswich game is abandoned after 10 minutes due to crowd disorder with City losing 5-2?<br /><br />The 26 is Grant Palmer so the Stagecoach ticket is not valid. I'm not sure on your train times or pub opening times, but I would be basing my day around the Soudrop limited service 26, which I think will be a walk in one direction. Thinking about it, the £8.00 probably isn't such a good move, but it is so hard to tell with buses because many companies don't put much information on their websites. Centrebus are excellent in that part of the world, full fare table for every route, forumlae provided to calculate day return and season fares and the like. Now why can't everybody else follow.<br /><br />York - Wilberfoss single is £3.60 with a 10% discount card. And apparently that is a a cheap evening fare.I was quite pleasantly surprised to only pay £5.60 for a day return from opposite the front door of my building to Caistor last week. When you have a plan together, let me know and I shall send some probing emails asking the right questions. When/if they respond I shall then respond at the uselessness of their website for such information. If they don't respond then they will get a very good complaint.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-70095861101564019202015-10-15T22:30:17.879+01:002015-10-15T22:30:17.879+01:00Not sure Andy's actually been on the blog, but...Not sure Andy's actually been on the blog, but believe me, he's as opinionated as anyone so wouldn't shirk from a blog post if he had something to say! <br /><br />Ipswich and Leicester league cup! <br /><br />Great, thanks re Beds. Do you know if the 26 bus is also covered on this Dayrider Plus ticket as it covers I think Sharnbrook and Souldrop? Do I just get them on the bus itself? After that Arlesey - Shefford £4.70 one, I'm prepared for any crazy Beds bus costs! I'd take £8 now.

I am perfectly harmless, please do not be afraid. My bark is worse than my bite, so I apologise in advance for if I ever say anything offensive.<br /><br />I did not know that Hull City had games the next two Tuesdays.<br /><br />Bedfordshire bus ticketing gen is that Stagecoach East offer an £8.00 Dayrider Plus valid on their service 50 between Bedford and Sharnbrook via Felmersham. It could be worth email both operators to find out relevant fares for what you want to do to see how good a deal this actually is, it sounds poor but some rural bus fares are eye watering. If you need any help, feel free to email me.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
