Default Off to Blighty in the morning!

...for 10 days.

Mainly a work trip (in and around London) but also doing a cheeky 3-day weekend to Scotland to visit Britain's most remote pub! (We're actually chartering a boat to get to it!)

Happy days!

I wish!

It was a Bombay Bad Boy actually, apparently they couldn't find the 'spicy curry' that I asked for.

While you're at it, head on down to sea-brooks in Bradford and smash the windows for refusing to ship me a 48 pack.
