Sound Off like you got a pair
Sitting on a picnic bench outside a cafe in Mudeford, Dorset yesterday on a bright and breezy Winters day when out comes the waitress with two plates of food for somebody...
I turned 'round to the bro-in-law, and in my best impression of (R) Lee Ermy (Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket) called out "Sound off like you got a pair"
Some people are too big for their fat egotistical boots, but for god's sake "little people" speak up please and "sound off like you got a pair".
Waitress: "Number 57?"
Everyone can hear.
Waitress again: "Number 57?"
Random family possibly with ticket 57: "mumble, murmur"
Waitress yet again: "Number 57?"
Random family with ticket 57: "Mumble, mumble, yeah that's sort of ours" index finger raised a bit to indicate "it's over here, please"

Happy New Year mate. dunno whats going on, I'm sure I checked your page a day or so ago and spotted nothing new for ages, then again today and whoa! loads of posts. I'm wondering if my ISP has some caching going on, gonna have to give that refresh button a bit of a seeing to.
Sorry to hear about your bug, didn't the cider help? I was completely put off the booze, it's a good job I didn't get that polypin in!
I can picture some of your cyling route being an occasional visitor to Farnborough. I will be back to the circuit training on Thursday but I also need to get in some other excersise, once a week is not enough!!
Can't help with the onion rings but have had similar experiences. The worst was an innocuous cheese and onion roll in a pub in South London. Should have been fairly organic but the taste haunted me for bloomin hours!

Hey, Brom-man :) - It could either be a caching thing going on with your ISP or it's me doing some belated posting - I seem to writing stuff of late and letting it sit until it's ready for consumption...
I went very carefully in the alcohol department this Christmas and the cider was/is still good/therapeutic. I have to thank the lovely Sammie for providing me with another barrel (yes, there are TWO now) so a big snog to her ;)
Biking's good. When you've had enough at least you can sit down. And the scenery can be miles better than 4x gym walls and MTV... If you get biking again, BM, then give me a shout when you're over this way. There's some nice MOD land trails and some surprisingly good single track too.
LOL - I'd be glad to have suffered the natural potency of REAL onions - the E numbers in the diet are becoming noticably detrimental - I think that's why Mr W's HoH cider is so good - ingredients: apples. That's it. It's when you have to go to a meeting after the cheese & onion lunch that you realise "damn, I shouldn't have eaten that" and the complex sets in that everyone can smell the onions as much as you... OMG that "last night someone ate a kebab in this house" syndrome !!!
