No, not real ones - it's our quiz team.
Went to the Globe in Glossop for the second wednesday running, and had a good time drinking beer, doing the quiz and eating lots and lots of vegan food.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a meat-eater and always will be, so when I read "Vegan food", my mind shows me picures of uninteresting and slightly unsatisfying bowls of lentils, but the reality is very different - at least it is in the Globe. They serve a hotpot late on, free to anyone who enters the 50p raffle, and it's delicious, but I prefer to get there well before the 9.30 start and tank up on a delicious chickpea & spinach curry. The place has its own micro-brewery and there's always a choice of ales on offer at extremely reasonable prices. Good times.
Any of our readers who can get there on wednesdays can consider themselves honorary members of the Pesky Pigeons. We need as much help as we can get.
Tour update - Arms Legstrong has blown his shack (guffaw), Cavendish is up to two stage wins and our man Wiggins is "Reviewing the situation" after Bert the acountant and the younger Mr Schleck reminded us why they are the favourites. Cadel Evans the ozzy with the Welsh name breifly wore yellow but wilted on the next big climb.
Laters.
Profile
I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
