Sending one large portion of virtual hugs...

 

What an enormous turn-out, ladies and gents! Golly, there was Lammy, Black Hornet, Mikey, Rosie, Lisa Lou, Stars 'n Stripes and his good lady Caroline, GaryA and Nikki and Fergy - and probably several others too. Of course, yet more were sorely missed, esp Roadie and Shrimpee. (Get better soon, Sue). ps. Lisa Lou ate your Tiger Prawns

I arrived too late to sample the stew, although judging by Lammy's concentration upon removing all the solid bits from her portion, it must have been not at all bad. Obviously it wasn't filling enough, or she is still in massive food debt after her Boot Camp exertions because she nicked Tom's mushroom and was gazing longingly at the (excellent) chips on surrounding plates. But happily the pub had laid in industrial supplies of Tiger Prawns in preparation for the SECB monthly event, so there were some left for my starter. I should mention at this point two important things: Thing One - they were only of ok quality. The batter just wasn't up to usual standards. But the accompanying rabbit food made up for it ...just. Thing Two - Lisa Lou not only had Tiger Prawns for her starter but for her pudding as well! Clearly a fan. Among main courses, most folks seemed to have either chicken or a burger, and GaryA drew my attention to the ratio of burger to bun on his plate. In my view, a ratio of 1:2 is inadequate. It even didn't look that thick. He seemed to enjoy the taste but it obviously disappeared too quickly for a growing lad. Speaking of growing lads, I was willing Nikki to give up on her garlic bread, and it worked - I was ready when she offered it up. Jolly good it was too, thanks, Nikki!

Stars and Stripes announced he retired yesterday (Lucky B@r$t@rd) and celebrated by eating most of Caroline's dinner. Honestly that lady just doesn't eat enough to keep a sparrow alive. I enjoyed chatting about running to Fergy, who is quietly in training for something, since he only had a main course (chicken, I think). I began to notice that everyone seemed to be about to finish their main courses and my burger had not emerged. Just in case the order had escaped our lovely hostess, I inquired as delicately as possible. It arrived a few minutes later and I am happy to report a far more favourable burger/bun ratio . Pretty much 1:1, I'd say, augmented with cheese and bacon, so this was a serious item, to which I paid due attention for the next five minutes. Sorry, everyone, that I was not social for that time, but I am a simple soul, capable of a maximum of one thing at a time. Glorious! I'd so much have liked a second pint of Harveys, but that would have been tempting fate. But my evening was completed by a serving of apple pie, custard and a big piece of Cheddar on the side. She remembered .


Thanks to Stars and Stripes for the coffee and to all of you, both for turning up and for being so ...normal

 

Thanks all it was a good night
Nikki is still looking for some sky hooks lol

 

Yes a really good night, and nice to see everybody, hopefully next month will be warm enough to arrive on the bike???????
