Went to a pub in Crystal Palace for a beer festival.
Up this huge xxxx me hill.

Drank 9% A over T beer.

Then cycled back down the hill and on to Penge Station.

Don't you kids try that. Proffesionals only.

Now I can confirm that this particular beer festival has taken place - living, as I do, just down the road from the pub (The Grape & Grain) (Jazz every Suinday afternoon and Monday nights the Big Beer Band, lots of wind, ahem). If I were a beer drinker we might have met there, 3VS) And btw, that hill (Anerley Hill) has a sign reading 10% at the top (i.e. 1 in 10) I am quite certain that it is steeper; two other 1 in 10 gradients in the district I am able to cycle up without difficulty; not this one.

Calum...we had some very strong winds yesterday and apparently drove the sardines to shore.

Capricious creatures...just think of Cannery Row in Monterey...

Sardines always look overcrowded enough as it is, in tins!

too much fish man, too much

Wow! I was in SA land!
Have to meet at the next Grape and Vine Beer Festival.

(Look for the bloke in the pub writing 12 note pop tunes in a note book)

Mrs. 3rd Viennese School is going to Poetry School. On Monday she wrote a poem about cycling.

Doesn't sound very heartfelt to me!

Funny you should mention that.

On today's lunchtime news for London on BBC1 they showed the pub where our local montly jazz is put on; a man was murdered with a pickaxe, somewhat a la Leon trotsky, in 1987 (I think they said) - rumours have since circulated that it was an "inside job" as he was a private eye looking into possible informant connections; no one has ever been arrested, to the family's chagrin.

I park my bike there every time........

I know he seems to be everywhere sometimes and is a bit unctuous and oleaginous, but really, this is going too far I think.
