Not taking you for granted thenI attended today - and found that my drink was already on the bar by the time I got in from the car-park and a correct assessment of what I was going to choose from the remaining items on the Specials Menu had already been entered on the Kitchen Order Slip.
My favourite establishment.I do like the place there...always friendly and really decent food too.
Well, I cycled out here today and endured several life-threatening situations on the way - incipient hypothermia from the freezing gale, dehydration from the amount of fluids leaving my eyes and nostrils and being hit by an Audi - but, I had guessed right and the liver and onions was on, so I have nearly recovered now. Well worth the risks.
I also seem not to have received a puncture from all the hedge-flailings scattered all over the lanes.
I'm as OK as I was before - it was just being driven in an Audi-style, straight out of an entrance in the expectation that there would be nobody there.Hit by an Audi? Are you okay?
I meant to reply to @db a while ago, but forgot.well, seeing as all the other greyhounds seem to be getting an airing of late, i thought i might as well mention another one!
went to the greyhound inn at burston on saturday for my ol' dear's birthday.. without question one of the finest meals i have had in a long, long time!
i had steak & ale pie, which came with the obligatory chips and peas.. the pie was divine - more like a stew with a puff pastry lid on top, rather than a stodgy shortcrust pastry effort.. everything about it was gorgeous - even the peas! lol.. i've never had peas that tasted so.. well.. pea-ey! lol..
the variety on offer was impressive.. there were 10 of us in total, having things like chicken tikka, ribs, lasagne, duck, etc.. every single one of us cleaned our plates and all commented on the unusually high standard of food.. really can't recommend it enough!
Pippa - we are friends now, but I think that's just part of their scheming...Well I think you should befriend it. I want to.
The biscuit stage was bypassed, I think - some of my sausage seemed to disappear whilst everything went a bit hazy...Carefull, he'll have you fetching him biscuits by giving you "The look"
Was Pippa actually serving the whisky?It has come to my attention that I am under regular, almost constant, surveillance by an organisation of Spaniels.

Yes - and offering tasting notes, whilst scrutinising new customers from a security angle.Was Pippa actually serving the whisky?
I know someone who would be very interested in the possibility of training a spaniel to pour a whisky.
