There are odds I'll be on that side of the water at some point, when,
it's hard to tell.

Got in himmel, the place abounds with it. Either great riding roads or
amazing views. OK a fair bit of it is 'Motard territory granted.

Oh aye, I'm well aware of this. Both together is also fairly common.
The only bits I've really ridden much are parts of the Jura to the
south of where I live, criss-crossing the French/Swiss border, but
some of the places I've driven to for skiing, plus some of the roads
that become part of the resorts themselves, leave me in no doubt as to
the quality and quantity available.

>OK a fair bit of it is 'Motard territory granted.

Eh? not with you there, old chap, unless you mean 'supermoto'
territory? "Motard" just means "biker".

Just what I meant, I was thinking of endless hairpin bends and single
track covered in landslide. I had a mental picture of a Flook type
entity.

Were you responsible for that peach vodka/acetone stuff that magically
appeared in the car park hours?

I had a sniff of it and I want the rights to sell it as panel wipe.

Probably, yes. It's a bit early for a 'Summer trip', mind, but if
you're over this way it'd be good to see you.

Well my announced 'promotion' is only on paper, and is worth about
..5%, so don't hold your breath. And my as yet unannounced new role
(Global lead, Projects) probably won't be worthy of a grade increase,
as I'm already a higher grade than anyone else here, so as likely as
not there won't be any money in that either...

Yes yes yes. But I understand that your wife is now a director of
vice, or something/.
