Sadly...

...we had to come back to the real world.

And it's asserting its presence a bit too hard.

I've got some pictures I mean to post from the weekend, but I don't think I'll get a chance to until I'm at the conference - when I'll welcome to excuse not to get pissed with a bunch of bitter old rozzers. So get onto Danger if you want photos sooner than that.


And it was a close run thing, but Black won the poll for the bike colour. Closely followed by grey (my favourite...with some reservations), and orange trailed in last (good).

Of course, if I chose to get the 2012 model, the colours are white, red and black...but I don't think it offers good value for money. Any suggestions of other bikes I should look at are welcomed. I'm biased toward the Triumph, because I had a Trident that I loved in the early 90s. So if you want to talk me around to at least test riding something else, do so.

The white sounds nice. I'll put up some pictures soon. Well. Soonish. I've been terribly lazy since we got back.

Greg Lestrade said...

I wish we could have been lazy together.

The white is nice. but I hate the front end. Give me a nice round lamp over the cats' eyes any day.

And I don't need the pictures - I was there with you. But your adoring public are quite demanding, I've noticed. On way to yours, by the way. Should be with you before ten.

John H. D. Watson said...

We'll be lazy when you get back. At least you won't get any death threats up there.

I know you don't need the pictures, I suppose I just feel guilty not having posted at all since we got back. Or done much of anything really, apart from corral your socks.

Greg Lestrade said...

My socks, stray socks....

At least your ridiculous poll has ended. FINALLY.

And no death threats...yeah, unless they hate my seminar. Then I might get a few.

John H. D. Watson said...

I made it extra long, just for you. Now I've got to come up with another one of course. You in uniform or in leather perhaps? Hm. I haven't got a picture of you in your jacket though.

I can still loan you Sherlock. You'd be a hit for sure.

Greg Lestrade said...

You saying you don't have a picture of me in leather suggests you do have a picture of me in my uniform, although I doubt even Nicky has anything like that.

But I am very worried.

I'd be a hit with Sherlock, at least.

John H. D. Watson said...

Does it? I'm sure I couldn't say. You didn't think Nicky could possibly have your old band flyer either though, I might point out.

Greg Lestrade said...

Oh...GOD.

I must just call my sister. And have her deported. Or at the least, her internet cut off for the rest of time.

Mycroft said...

I could show you how to do that. Then it wouldn't actually be me doing it and it wouldn't be my fault.

Greg Lestrade said...

It's a deal. Show me.

(I'm assuming you mean the internet thing. Not deportation - although I believe you could do that too.)

John H. D. Watson said...

...I know you are not both actually up in Mycroft's room doing illegal things to the internet. I'm quite sure. Because, being a policeman and all, you wouldn't do that. Right?

Mycroft said...

Lestrade says we have the right to remain silent.

Bronwyn said...

As an elder sister myself, I would like to point out that this can only result in blood and tears when she shows up IN PERSON dragging her children, pictures of you naked at various ages and/or in humiliating costumes you wore to formal events and possibly the stuffed animal you slept with until you turned fifteen.

Just FYI.

"come here and let me arrest you, John" is a spectacular arrangement of labels.

And Bronwyn, I think I'm doing the elder-sister thing incorrectly. I have no interest in naked pictures of either of my brothers, haha. Humiliating costumes... maybe.

John H. D. Watson said...

It's going to be "come here and let me arrest you, Lestrade" if he's not careful, and I won't be the one saying it.

@daluci, The naked pictures thing isn't about whether I want them, it's about how much my brothers don't want me to have them - or show them to their wives, girlfriends or respective significant others. It's just my little way of reminding them that I know where all the bodies are buried. And have photographic proof.

I think 'John, people pushing their luck' is a more accurate arrangement...

I don't think I can possibly be blamed for a glitch in BT's internet lines, Danger. You know technology, always going wrong.

Even Nicky, I'm fairly sure, doesn't have pictures of me naked. Other people in the world, perhaps, but not Nicky. Costumes etc., as you already know, she does. No stuffed animals for me. Although I do now have a very cuddly creature to sleep with...but that's not embarrassing.

I shall have to give Harry another call. Or very slightly abuse my powers and get his class lists from medical school and the Army, and put out an enquiry for pictures.
