Well, yesterday was a fine collection of veteran CCE stalwarts.
(gembo unremembered the first arrival.)
8:20 seems to be the new guide time -WFH has a lot to answer for…

I was responding to the First Person’s question of Where are you all? Though that was perhaps not clear

True.

I'm starting to feel like I've taken on the role of Tom Bombadil.

Often hard to tell what counts as thread drift on CCE…

Apparently a staggering 80% of CCE voters prefer PY to be on the first Friday.

For the uninitiated/forgetful -
PY = Peter’s Yard
PY is deceased
Long life Soderberg (MMW branch)
MMW = Middle Meadow Walk
MMW is an unusually useful piece of cycle ‘infrastructure’
Without Spokes, cycling would probably still be banned on MMW
‘We’ have come a long way
Much further to go
“PY” is a CCE institution (perhaps the only one)
PY is a most months gathering of anyone who wants to turn up
If you haven’t been before you ARE welcome - but understandably it may be off-putting to enter the unknown
By now most people who turn up tend to recognise each other from previous PYs or some interaction in what passes for the real world
Unless you turn up very early you can’t mistake the PY CCEers
They hog the massive middle table
Early used to be 7:30
Since Covid/WFH ‘early’ seems to be about 8:15
Late sometime after 9:30
The ‘norm’ is to introduce yourself by your forum name, BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY PERSONAL CHOICE
Usually fun/entertaining, always an experience
Arriving by bike is NOT essential

Ok see you; the day after tomorrow at 08.17am?
Motherwell will probably be there too, well Wishaw but not Overton Village.

Could be just Me and You @ Morningsider?

I like to think it's quality rather than quantity that counts - so doubly disappointing really.

Nice but I will tell you about my free gig in the Argyle Bar 8pm Saturday 01.04. The unnameable is going. Out band is called We Travel In Hope. Free entry
