What and chips?

Looking back, I think Tony called out "Wan' any chips?"
I responded "Egg and chips?" 🤔
He approached from the kitchen with a bowl of chips: "Got too many"
I tried one. I assumed they'd be from the White Hart: "Oh! These are from the Chinese!"
"Yeah. Thought I'd go for something different. Omelette and chips."
"Oh! So it IS egg and chips!"
...
..
"No. It's omelette."

Tour de Luck

Jorgenson launched an outrageous attack at the front of stage 19, on a 7% climb with 13.5km of climbing till the end of the stage.

Me: No way mate! That's outrageous. That's never going to stick! 
Tony: Wass 'appened?

I explained

Tony: He got lucky then...

We watched as Jorgenson opened a 10 second gap.

Tony: ...unless he's been practising.
Me: Of course he has! 
Tony: I dunno. 🤷
Me: You don't just jump on a bike and do the Tour de France! 😄
Tony: ....no? 🤷
