Poor Snipe,

Ragweed allergy? Steroid shot may help. Max has that, this time of year.

They even think this is bacon:

Mrs. GA eats those, but she's vegetarian. Different brand, though.

I don't think so as she does it in the winter as well. I think something itches and then it gets compulsive: in this case, it's the hair growing back from the cannula site so couldn't be soothed in the usual way.

Dennys on International Drive in Florida was great.
What you couldnt get for breakfast was not worth mentioning. Thank goodness we don"t have them in the UK otherwise i would be dead by now.

Shoney's also good in Florida, at least the one on A1A near Palm Beach, and the one in Fort Lauderdale. Fort L has a lot of local good food options as well, esp. German.!?!

It's still better than Spanish bacon!

One thing the Merkins do excel at is baked beans. Boston baked beans, in particular, are sublime.

Take forever to make, though. I have made them with proper cod and brown bread, two days task.

Best baked beans we've ever had were in St Lucia, I assume they were imported Merican beans, very good. Still much prefer nice thick cut smoked back bacon to the skinny cremated belly stuff that gets served up as American style.

And sausages, don't get me started on American sausages, they are almost as bad as German sausages.

Depends where you are. Restaurants often bake their bacon. Folk at home fry it.

Poor thing! GWS, Snipe.

Now on the TER from Amiens to Lille Flandres.

Unlike the earlier Intercity train there is space for bikes - and, what's more, there is no kifting involved. One simply wheels ones bike onto the train and down the ramp to the parking area.

I thought there would be some signs expressly forbidding passengers kifting on a TER on a Saturday in September.

Can you believe it, I've got to the age of 50 and I've never kifted.

You'd better get practising if you want to enter the 19th Annual Independent Games Festival next year...

A man who has never been kifted is a sad individual. Go out tonight and make sure you get a good kifting. Reg probably knows the best clubs in your area, if not I'm sure Doug will be able give some advice.

But I don't even own a kifting iron

 

[potsy]

Home after my exhausting 6 hour shift, breakfast was so so, beans were a bit luke warm and there seemed to be a bacon shortage.
Now for a nap

Doug has a nice shiny polished one he'd be happy to share.

Reg has a nice one too, highly decorated and a good weight.

My Eurostar is booked. €138. Then I'll have to pay another €30 for the bike on Monday. But it will travel on the same train as me.

Champagne included ?
