I have an announcement to make.

You might want to make sure you're sitting down for this.

that very same pub is having an "all-you-can-eat-sausage-and-mash" evening in a couple of weeks.

vdf, for the sake of the economy of the brewery, don't go.

It's a bit of a bombshell.

I like them too much to ruin their business.

This evening, I skipped dinner.

Right, that should buy me enough stunned silence to solo drivel to the millennium and beyond.

Is she up the stick again?

My favourite local has Broadside, and today I was told that very same pub is having an "all-you-can-eat-sausage-and-mash" evening in a couple of weeks.

Actually, tat sounds like a damned good venue for a TPD or CUK meet-up.

Decent beer and loads of good British manfood.

Any chance of some more details?

[RichardCranium]

I just made a couple of rather splendid "hot toddys" for me and the missus (who appears to have picked up whatever I have).

They do that, don't they? They don't like giving out all the sympathy and missing out themselves.

Hot water, brandy, honey, lemon, cinnamon, ginger. Yumski.

SO long as there's plenty of lemon. And honey. And brandy and/or Scotch. Or, better still, replace the water with port.
