Terence Chipchase

This is one of a dying breed. A local one man band Pet Shop. Been there well over thirty years and has outlasted many of its brethren. Sharrowvale road, Sheffield. Surreal place

Dear @concept2 . Sensei @judith_packer tells me that one can get a t-shirt if one does a million metres. Ahem!

And we're over the line with a New Me PB for 20 min

One Megametre incoming on this morning's @ErgosZoom with @judith_packer and the Wednesday Warriors. The WW have been my rock in physical rehabilitation from spondylodiscitis over these past two years 💕🫳 and I thank them

Many congratulations, Sooty BEM! @david_biddulph

Kate @kosullivan2012 you legend ! Medal of Honour - WOW!!

Di @RowingFamily1 you legend - congratulations ! MM

Hi @jackie_bt I saw you on there

Thanks loads @richardphelpsie for the FH @ErgosZoom just now. A post-hospital PB split for a longer piece. That coxing helped so much. I actually looked up at H'smith Bridge. The thanks extends of course to all involved.

Chipchase Megabase has been locked down so no news has filtered out of late re. ergos. A press release this morning let this slip. Word has it that the subject subsequently could barely move and was wobbly of limb : @mulesee

Why was there a gold effigy of Margaret Thatcher in the opening ceremony ?

Moving into doing a bit more mileage. This from yesterday

Missed you on the Zoom erg this morning @JennyLivy

Hi, @flying_boatman @Stewieatb , we have a non-changeable and unwanted 2 degree +ve stern pitch on a pin and have used 6/2s to bodge it. How will that affect the action of the blade laterally (?) ?

Right, Rowing Family @DHLCourier7 @RowingFamily1 @WorldRowing @brokenoarspodc1 @matthewcpinsent @river_rowing @HenleyRegatta @henleystandard @HenleywRegatta @richardphelpsie Let's see if we can get a response from DHL about where our sodding riggers are eh?

⁦@syptweet⁩ this car has been here for at least three days. It’s parked as though someone got out and ran away. Also in terrible condition. Could you please check it out? Never seen it before too (Hunters Bar)

HWR ⁦@HenleywRegatta⁩ ⁦@NUBCBlueStar⁩ YouTube still cf. Bill Sayers book photo from over 30 years ago. “The essence of crew rowing is cohesion and good timing”

Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose. This photo ⁦@HenleywRegatta⁩ cf. the photo of ⁦@NUBCBlueStar⁩ on your YT feed. Who knows which book, Published 1991? My earliest mantra. “The essence of crew rowing is cohesion and good timing”

A massive thank you to all the members of the extended Rowing Family who came forward with offers of help for @SheffieldCityRC after the theft of our van of many things. We have managed to find workarounds for our issues surrounding no boats for any regattas. Again, thank you all
