Be Excellent To Each Other

now stuck in traffic... Only 100 miles to go... Today is great

You *are* traffic.

oh I have moved half a mile....

had to rebuild my laptop on friday. I am sure somebody does not want me to work...

edit: 2 ambulances have been past. I hope the crash is not too bad..

You really shouldn't be on your phone

I am not moving

Looks a lot like cheese & marmite... I R SUSPICIOUS!

So... what did it taste like? And, perhaps more importantly, why?

T-Minus 7 days until America. C'mon, time.

Firstly, I wouldn't put marmite on anything, it's fucking horrid stuff.

It was really quite nice. I'm gonna do it again later in the week and add baked apple chunks under the custard.

I was having a conversation with a couple of people on Facebook about custard (yes, my life is that exciting), I had a thought that if you froze a carton of custard, you could slice it quite easily. So as I was bored, I placed a carton in the freezer overnight.

You can see the custard (pre-sliced) in this picture.

Wow, interesting combo. You'll be at the Duncan and Prince of Wales next.

Things can largely only get better, pub-wise, from the Ship. As long as you don't go to the Three Legs.

Ace.

Go via Derbyshire

I quite like the Scarborough. Good beers there. I've been told to check out Doctor Okells, Whitelocks, North Bar, Palace,Town Hall Tavern (where the lawyers hang out), and the Victoria.

What is the black stuff, then?

Caramelised sugar I'm guessing.

First week of diet finished and I lost 3lbs. Might go into hermit mode 'til Christmas. Disappear as a big lazy caterpillar, reappear at Christmas in a sparkly dress as a sexy slim social butterfly!

Was thinking about investigating when the practice night is at the local bell tower. Stepped outside to put the rubbish out and heard the distinct sound of rounds in the distance. I think that answers my question.

Not been ringing in ages, so I know that if I do start up again, my hands will be ripped to shreds by the bell ropes.

Not if they have a big, fat sally.

I always give 'em a big tug

In other bell news, the White Chapel foundry told us that 1634 tenor they've recently retuned wasn't 13cwt as we always thought, but now weighs 14 cwt! As I was usually following on the tenor whilst the band did more advanced methods (hey, I just have to count to 8, and they have to fall behind me!), I felt so much more awesome knowing I could steadily ring something that big. They should be re-installed in November, in time for Remembrance Day.

Optical illusion of the day: it's the British Isles, but not as we know them!

(Took me a while to see it!)

Whitelocks is pretty good, especially as you seem to be the traditional sort. People speak highly of North Bar, but I've never rated it, other than as a narrow, dingy venue for people who think they're cooler than they are. North's neighbour, Sela, is far more like it. Similar clientèle, but the place itself (and atmosphere) are miles better.

My favourite place at the moment (especially with the Swan in a seemingly endless state of dormancy) is Art's. Lovely food, the nicest atmosphere, and I'm told the beer is good too (I'm not a pint man, I must confess). Norman and Oporto are fantastic during the day, but transform into hellholes as night falls. Be warned.

Victoria is another good place for the traditional pub setting. I've never been in the Town Hall Tavern.

That's excellent.

Yup. I sprinkled on some brown sugar prior to grilling.

That also works well with bacon.

Bacon & custard?

Er...

I pasted some maple syrup onto some bacon and grilled it a couple of weeks ago, that was rather nice.

I now have to start organising the laborious process of moving house.

I'm already not looking forward to it. Although the fact that I'm moving into a house along with two women might change my mind!

Pointless and insignificant annoyance of the day:



Fucking iTunes, those aren't the symbols for "Previous Track" and "Next Track", you bellend.

The guy's dead, dude, cut him some slack.

Now I'm not normally one for celebrity gossip but Christina Aguilera, holy shit. http://www.tmz.com/2011/10/10/christina ... pNqvLIR-So

although at least she looks better than when she went through that skelator thing a few years back.

Awesome, sounds like creme brulee on toast to me

You guys do know about putting pancake mix into yorkshire pudding bowels and then filling them with melted milk or white chocolate/golden syrup while they are still warm don't you?

No, but go on...

It seems that the Beex mobile site is the only site that will work properly with a 3DS.

ok

*time travels

Gaaaaaaaahhh! Can I just leave that there for posterity? Thanks.

You'd think Nintendo would put that on the box. 'Browser only compatible with Beex'

They'll probably release an add on for it.

You are Tubgirl AICMFP.

4 hours I was stuck in that traffic Jam for!! Looked like a few HGVs were involved...

Bastard.

That's a smug bustard.

edit @ Craster.

Eh?
Why are you posting pictures of Malaboobs Emo chums?

Que?

Portmanteau, innit.

Wisdom tooth making a break for freedom. Again. It hurts quite a bit, but generally only lasts a few days before stopping again. It seems to only do it once a year or so. I should proabbly see the dentist, but then s/he might wish to take them out.

Ha. So it is.

No.

Hence the follow on pics of a Bustard and Busted.
