Yes, I had a similar feeling in Croydon the other night, when I snaffled what was probably the last free hotel room in the town. Quite why the armpit of south London exurbia was so popular that night I’ve no idea. Perhaps there was a conference about roundabouts, or something.

It was good fun, but a bit of a route march towards the end of each day. We were something of a “mixed ability” group, which meant that there were some of us for whom 100km a day was fine, and some of us for whom 100km a day was a real stretch. Hence the pace kept going slow enough that at around 4pm each day we started to panic we wouldn’t make it in time.

I also recommend booking B&Bs in advance, especially given that a single event in Dundalk apparently fills up the whole of, er, Dundalk.

Midges – why do they cling to the Celtic fringe?

Hope you had a great time doing that cycle ride – I had a similar notion to cycle from Larne to Galway. Unlike you, my trip remained on the planning table.

When I was cycling from Belfast to Dublin recently, we didn’t get bedbugs in any of the B&Bs, but by gum! we got midges, which I don’t think they even ask about on that thread.

Do Americans even have the word “midge"? “Well, it’s kind of like a tiny mosquito that spends its time mooching around heather and drinking Irn Bru.”

When we had the floods in December, and all the electricity and therefore mobile networks went down, there was a total of two phone boxes in the centre of Lancaster still working. A youngster was seen swiping the small screen which tells you how much money you’ve put in. They were absolutely bereft, and there are stories of mummy and daddy driving up from Devon – I kid you not – to rescue the poor internetless lambs.

The George Formby thing has reminded me that we didn’t have 3 pin, 13 amp sockets at uni - well, only in communal areas. Combined with 4 phone boxes between 200 students, Millenials would swoon. And that was only 1995!

That thread’s a model of division by a common language and cross-cultural misunderstanding. ("Should we expect bed bugs in Ireland?")

And good idea J-P – bit of Varèse would sound well in the underpass!

I’m never convinced it’s worth advising twits about anything. They only mess it up in new and inventive ways, like smearing jam on the bedspread, or smuggling George Foreman grills into Travelodges.

I love the wilfully (and suitably) literal thinking that might go into performing Musique Concrète in a Passage Concrète.
