Yes, you'll never ride through Iqaluit and feel the warm wind in your beard

Why not? He's not bedridden yet is he?:rolleyes:

Record high in Iqaluit 25.8°C July 28/2001 followed by 25.5°C August 8/1991:p:D

See there's always hope. ;)

mmmm I never imagined Novo to have a beard - no idea what I think he looks like but it was definately beardless.

Illusions shattered

His photograph is on the net, if you know where to look and, yes, he is bearded.

These days I spend my time searching Oakville for British bacon to go with my brown sauce. Come on England!

Not at Ongar though, that part of the tube was closed. It's since been reopened by hobbyists, presumably other people who's Mecca was the Hainault Loop (and I think I lead a spoddish geeky sort of life!), but only offers an excursion service on Sundays.

Oh the Hainault loop. Great days. I remember taking the train to Ongar, when I was at school, just for the shear hell of it. Epping is overrated if you ask me.

Whose photograph isn't on the net, if you know where to look?

Nonetheless, I'd prefer it if you desisted from encouraging stalkers. :frown:

It's a valid point. Piece together a little information that comes over the course of 100's of posts here and it's relatively easy to find out way too much about folks in real life. The veil of anonymity on BE or any other web forum is not that thick!
