Paul Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Blimey, did he pass the aptitude tests and all that?Anyhow, CF83, spare seat going this Thursday morning, couple of us from work will be heading over to Portsdown Hill near Portsmouth if you want to come along. Let us know if you want to go. Quote
MonkeyKnuckle Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 That's not too far from me, how long are you going to be there?If my tax disc holder arrives I might be able to take a trip up there. Quote
Paul Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Not sure to be honest. We are having to wait until my mate drops his GF off in the morning then heading off after that and he hasn't said what time yet. Weather permitting of course! Quote
MonkeyKnuckle Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 I'm guessing you won't still be there at 7pm, as that's the earliest I can get there. Quote
Paul Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 No, we will be up there around dinnertime I hope.We are all working early the next day (0400 ish) so we will be at home by 7pm!! Quote
MonkeyKnuckle Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 Did you go down there today Paul? The weather here at the moment is roasting! Quote
clashfan83 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Blimey, did he pass the aptitude tests and all that? Yep, passed it all, aparently they said he was one of the best applicants they'd ever had, I think he was crazy to turn it down! Ah well... Quote
Paul Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Did you go down there today Paul? The weather here at the moment is roasting! Yea mate. Had a brilliant ride over there, done about 120miles in total today, it was a cracking ride over there. Brighton-Portslade-Angmering-Arundel-Pulborough-Petworth-Midhurst-Petersfield then over towards Bishops Waltham before coming back on ourselves a bit to the car park! Superb Met some other bikers up there and got chatting. Had a good laugh with one regular who owns a black bandit, think he is an engineer on a minesweeper for the navy, anyhow, top bloke!Had a 'small' burger and a drink, admired the view then headed off again for another good ride back although shorter and via Bury Hill cafe.Will definately be doing that again it was absolutely superb today.Our next ride out will be on the 19th August so hopefully we will do it all again. CF83 if you want to join us on the back of one of the bikes you would be more than welcome. Quote

Was a good match yesterday(then again i am chelsea) But got a feelin you'd do man u, newcastle deserved to win yesterday! Boooooooooo! Deco played well. (Although he should have been sent off within the first two minutes, which he didn't even get booked for. ) Quote

Portsdown hill is only a stones throw away from me. I haven't been down (up?) there yet though. Quote
ade38 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (off topic) h should've got a yellow at least but this was his first real taste of english football!, Anyway Shall we set a date and an exact venue for us southerners? Quote
MonkeyKnuckle Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Shall we set a date and an exact venue for us southerners? I don't mind on the date as long as it's a weekend and Pompey aren't playing at home. I don't mind on the venue either, could stay with Loomies or try Portsdown hill? Quote
ade38 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Cool, got no idea where portsdown hill is but sounds good Quote
MonkeyKnuckle Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 The closest post code I can find is PO6 3LS. If you type that into google earth then move to the right a bit and you should see a fairly big car park, that's where people meet. Basically the hill just overlooks Portsmouth.There's also a few small twisty roads in the area as well. Quote
ade38 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Oh yea, i know a few people who've been there on wednesday nights, looks good to me tho Quote
