No, you’ve not gone mad if you’ve read this before but it now seems a bit different. I keep doing things to get the blog looking and running as I want and in doing this forgot the name of the databse I was using and backup up the wrong one before deleting! Thanks to Google’s cached version I’ve been able to recover all but this posting. Anyway, here’s roughly what I wrote.
I had a fellow bus driver and blog commentator on my bus to Salisbury yesterday, he was going to walk the Clarendon Way from Salisbury to Winchester. As I drove back to Winchester I mused on this and came to the conclusion that parachuting and walking have much in common. In the first you jump out of a perfectly safe and satisfactory aircraft in order to do it yourself, in the second you abandon a perfectly good transport system like rail or bus and do it yourself as well. I then congratulated the un-named walker on his achievement after he e-mailed me to say that he’d completed the walk.
Jeff then posted a comment which identified him as the walker. Cogi responded saying he didn’t ever think it could have been Gillers getting off his fat arse! Jeff came back to say that Gillers does do some walking – from the Railway station to the Jolly Farmer :-)
I would just like to join in this private conversation to say that I have walked the Clarendon Way (actually in the reverse direction to Jeff, from Winchester to Salisbury) – but that it was a while ago, in the 1980s !!! Actually wouldn’t mind doing it again sometime.
I bet Gillers wishes there were bits of him that could be deleted!
Glad to see i’m not the only one to delete files i thought i had backed up !
