what NF said!

Also did you drink plenty of fluids?

They make you drink a pint of water before donating.

But the bottle of wine when I got home possibly wasn't the most sensible idea!

The lot of a Yorkshireman in London is not a happy one. £6 for a beer (of highly dubious quality) and a bag of cheese and onion makes I sad.

Mate, you should have said which area you were going, plenty of goodness if you know where to look?

If you are an ale drinker and coming via Euston, you could do far worse than here:-
I bet their beer is not £6 a pint, even these days and the pub fare may not be gastro, but it is proper gear (even for a Yorkshireman)

The Bree Louise, Euston > Home

Anyway happy to advise on the right places to go in London

I ought to eat more oily fish, and this bacon-wrapping concept sounds like a step in the right direction

Aldi does some nice tinned Mackerel in sauces Curry etc.

Also Mackerel in Tomato sauce from B&M.

The tinned stuff counts.

I was going to suggest Alcohol had something to do with it but I was too polite!

If you like Pate, Mackerel is a really good choice.

The fillets that you can get, buy the more expensive naturally smoked, non dyed ones can actually be quite nice for breakfast, you just grill or stick in the oven

Loads of good stuff in there and you know I love my bacon, sausages, pies....droooool .

I know it's a cheaper way to get out of it but you are not a student anymore...

The War on Cholesterol got off to a pretty pathetic start this evening, due to there being two pork spare rib steaks from M&S in the fridge that needed eating

I suppose I ought to have a look at the piscine options when I go shopping tomorrow

In other news, Richer Sounds have got an excellent deal on a Yamaha sound bar that I quite fancy - £300 off for Black Friday, or more accurately for the week of a holiday in another country that really has no relevance to British retailers but if they want to virtually give the stuff away…

It's buy-in-store only and I'll probably find they don't have any in stock, but I'll try phoning for one on the off chance tomorrow as they're not far away

Bin day tomorrow! Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Up early to unlock the back gate for the greater good of the community

Although the main bin folk tend to come around lunchtime now, the recycling ones must come earlier, as last week none of the recycling bins were emptied. As the other occupants of the neighbourhood are clearly a bunch of lazy bums, it seems that if I want to leave the gate locked overnight it then falls to me to open it in time for the arrival of the Wombles
