Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

That's a great idea.

If only Paddington had a Wasabi or anything fucking decent for that matter.

Might have to get some sushi for lunch...

Y U No read my posts?

Pop into your local Specsavers or something? Bet they've got a few empty ones lying around ready for the bin.

Yeah, them. Too late to order now though, I'm off tomorrow morning.

I have seen them there.
Tesco pharmacy?

How about a chemist with eye-drops or similar, then just empty out whatever is in their & refill?

You could just use a teaspoon, and ride reaaaaally carefully.

Anyone know where I can get a tiny plastic oil-safe dropper bottle?

The shops that sell electric fags. Apparently they use them a lot. I got one off eBay, but obvs too late for that now.

You guys have never been to the desolate wasteland of fast food chains and tourist hotels that is Paddington have you?

Isn't there a sushi place in the station?

You might be onto something...

Nam Po? Not sure if they do sushi.

Oh, there was a conveyor sushi in the food court bit but that's all closed due to construction.

Would an lbs not have some small sample bottles of degrease/lube etc?

E.g.

I still think they're missing a trick not setting up their own tracking service, so that can put adds and sponsors around it. Would benefit their revenue.

I read something on the Facebook page that suggested that they might be doing that. Apparently the Trackleaders page has been set up as a back-up. Reading between the lines, they might be struggling to get theirs working, hence lack of announcement.

Now that makes sense. Everything does seem delayed this year.

I'm heading to Evans later so if the vape shops come up short, I'll ask there.

Anyone taking a list of greetings, pleasantries, etc. to use when ordering food and stuff?
Did anyone have language issues in the past? I mean, I've traveled before so pointing and doing the finger counting thing works well enough, just wondering.

Ooh, maybe I'll get to use Google Translate, if the phone is still working by the time I need it.

Nah don't bother. Everyone speaks english mostly.

If not, just point.

Be wary of using the phone in motenegro, it's fucking expensive.

Yeah, I got a new SIM with Three for this trip and it has the same kind of £6/MB bullshit that O2 does in eastern Europe. Not much I can do about that other than try to stop watching so much internet porn.

Might take a cheat sheet for currency conversions so I know how much a beer costs in wherever.

DO.......YOU.........SPEAK............... ENGLISH?!
