Tea? (Part 1)

[marinyork]

I think marketing in Coniston was fairly circumspect compared to the other places, seemed to be a really well designed and run village (apart from cycle parking). The pub I went to did a mean pot of tea, so went back twice in the same day , third time to sample some of the microbrewery down the road's offerings.

Always a good idea to support local commerce.
Anyway, beer's made from grain and hops, so a pint counts as two portions of vegetables. I think...

Just seen 4 raf tornados fly over in formation oooh ahh.

Plus yeast, although I think that's technically not a veg but a class all of its own... (As if we're really being rigorously scientific here)

Mind you, if you have a bag of crisps or nuts with it, that's another portion...

Well, yeast is a fungus, which (I suppose) is a very small mushroom, and mushrooms're in the veggie section of Tescos, so...beer is 3 portions. Add the crisps and some nuts and you're in with the 5 portions!

 

[Landslide]

Add some pork scratchings and you've meat and two veg...

Back from my lunchtime jaunt to the local (regular viewers may detect a theme here) where they're hosting "Brian Fest" - Brian Moore (local CAMRA-ish chap) is celebrating having supped 40,000 different ales! Even allowing for his starting in 1980 (or thereabouts) and drinking halves, that equates to roughly 4 different ales per day!!!

And a pint of cider.

Eat all the salad in your donor kebab afterwards, and you've exceeded your quota for the day!

Is there a brew on? Just got back from a farmer-taming expedition.

They're particularly wild at the moment. You can never please farmers with the weather, so they're particularly displeased just now.

However, today's company was a pushover, and my german colleagues are very pleased. They even gave me a little present.

By gum it's wet, though. (The weather, not the present).

The phantom sprocket-dropper of olde Yorke Towne? I think I'll make that my signature....

You had to do it! I've got a good kebab shop just up the road from me, and I've so far withstood temptation for a couple of months, but now...
I might have to get one on the way back from Morissons. If it'll fit on the rack along with the folding bike.

 

[Landslide]

Word of warning - the folders come in a rather large and heavy box. I'd recommend a trailer, rather than a rack.

On the upside, once built, the folder has a rack that I reckon would be a good size for a kebab and some fruit juice (possibly the fermented variety).

 

[TheDoctor]

If I had a trailer, that would be helpful. Hmmm.
I once managed to carry 36 liters of french lager and 6 bottles of wine on a mountain bike, so I'll give it a go. If all else fails I'll get a taxi. Assuming I get one. I don't really need another bike...

Great, I have a mental image now of a kebab bungied to a bike rack, spilling onion and sauce and bits of donor meat as you ride over bumps...

Doc, maybe you should walk to Morrisons with some tools, assemble the bike there and ride it back?

Uncle Phil it's very mean to push farmers over, especially in all this mud....

Apparently, you do need a trailer....
