I've just bought three 26" x 1.75 Marathon plus tyres.

Woah. Dude... Live on the edge.

That's the way I roll

A proper sausage or one of those plastic wiener things?

Strangely, in Germany we call those "Wiener Würst" or "Vienna sausages", but the Austrians call them "Frankfurter Würst".

It seems neither country wants to take responsibility.

And the trike will be bought "next time"?

My word, the pace of your lifestyle is astonishing: How do you do it?

Having moved North I find the pace of life so slow I have to do something.

What do you mean?

Oh, wait...

Franks,Frankfurters, weiners, or hot dogs, hot dogs referring to the sandwich and bun together. The wurst itself is often a mix of chicken, beef , veal, and pork, unless marked otherwise, either as all beef, or kosher.

I kind of think of a frankfurter as a pork sausage, and a wiener as a mix of beef and pork. I think a guy ook them from Frankfurt to Wien, so the blame is all on Frankfurt. The whole roll thing came about maybe at St. Louis about turn of the century, some guy was selling frankfurters, and giving people gloves to eat them with. When people did not return the gloves, he was losing money, so he added the roll as a part of the meal. So wikipedia tells me. In this area, and farther north, hot dogs start looking like a salad, with the addition of numerous additions and condiments. Chicago -style hot dog.

Try sticking a fork in them then 'toasting' them over a gas burner,

In college, we used a bucket with a burning piece of newspaper. The grease from the sausage kept the fire going. Years before the swanniebrai thing marketed on Tv. I often wonder at the resiliency of GAgf 3 in putting up with such malarkey.

Thank you for the Zappa, @raleighnut . Great music, that.

Quiet day here today so far. It's rather with and so did a little bit of bike fettling aka fitting the rear light to the Chartres.

Typical "four seasons in one day" kind of thing. If Lexi doesn't want to go out, you know it's not great.

So sat here in the company of the furry girls watching the snooker. Might go to Tesco later to YS.

And in Poland we call them parowki or serdelki... (Although serdelki are generally shorter and fatter)

They are made from pork though. Actually, if you are looking for decent hot dogs, then the polish ones are the ones to try. So much nicer than a majority of the other offerings.
