This third edition of the Place Names that Made Us Chuckle was completely unplanned. Matt and I were on our End to End 2008 training ride, and suddenly I spotted a Shingay cum Wendy sign! Of course, riddle with excitement I applied the brakes and suggested we turned round and travelled to Shingay to take a picture.
No, it’s not what you think
As Matt and I were sitting on the train today, (we were on the train because Jonny ran away when Matt asked for a lift (and we mean run, he ran like a headless chicken)) Matt said to me: “Woolie, there’s a pigeon on this train.” I was like: “Wow, for sure?” and he was like: “No shit!”. Anyway, as I looked back, sure enough there was a pigeon under the seat. We filmed it for hilarity.
I’ve been bugged to put these videos on the internet, and to remove anything “incriminating”. Anyway, I think I’ve done so. This video was from our Six Mile Bottom adventure.
On Fridays, we have adopted a new ritual. During lesson two (around 10am) we wander across to Subway, and baffle them with our weird and wonderful sandwich requests. I figured that all the best rituals need to be written in stone somewhere, so I will do the same!
