Early morning challenge

[Smudger]

Here you go.

You've got a Brompton (L6 if you like).

You've got £75 in your pocket.

An asteroid will hit the Earth in ninety-three minutes and you're going to
die.

It's a Thurdsay this coming July. Warm but raining. 6:37PM.

You're in Tottenham Court Road.

What do you do?

Ride to the British Museum, nick the Sutton Hoo hoard and cycle to Buck Palace clad in the
grave-goods of Raedwald to reclaim England and challenge Phil the Greek to single combat.

Then buy a cycling helmet, secure in the knowledge that it'll protect me from all head injuries. The
asteroid will bounce of my lid and I can usher in a new era of peace and prosperity as saviour of
the earth.

Oh, wait a minute. You said it was raining. In which case I'll head to the nearest pub and get
bladdered.

Give the bike to an old man and use the £75 to buy a better one? Dave.

Smudger, Either :-
a). You've had a hell of a premonition there, young man OR -
b). You're in competition for the -strangest- query ever put out on an ng, including tenuous link to
ng subject.

Dave. ;-)

p.s. in answer to your query, spend 93 minutes wondering how the hell I ended up in Tottenham Court
Road, on a Brompton with £75 in my pocket at
6:37pm on a warm yet wet rainy Thursday this coming July.....
