This weekend and cheese

For those going to France, I finally did get some manchego - 1.5kg. This was
after I'd already spent 28 euros on some other stuff. Cheese are us.

 

Manchego, serrano ham, virgin olive oil and chilled white Port.
"I may be some time"

 

You'll have nightmares!

 

Despite having just bstarted on a trying to avoid dairy regime I'll be
interested to try that. All being well I shall arrive at the do with a
couple of lumps of Limousin local stuff. Nothing remarkable, but quite
edible.

 

Ham and me will appear on saturday evening.

 

Excellent. I might see if I can get a bit of local wild boar saucisson
for the BBQ and/or some Limousin beef steaks.

I had an Obelix moment and NEEDS to know whether BBQ is planned for lunc or
dinner.

 

Paul Carmichael wibbled forthrightly:

That reminds me. I need to drop Jen a line. Won't be able to make it.

I might see if I can eat at least 4 different types of burger when
we're camping on an airfield in Somerset at the weekend.

The things we do to watch bike racing.

 

You can use your finger as a skewer!!

Bonwicks rotisserie....

 

I intend to drink at least four differed types of beer.

There's bike racing? Well, that makes the camping-and-drinking weekend
even more worthwhile.

 

Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter & E.Coli?

 

Don't forget the port, it's important that we drink a bottle of port
between us each night.

I'm not sure how much of it we'll actually watch because if it rains
I'm heading straight for the nearest pub.

 

^^^^^^^^^^

You appear to have misspelt "each".

Sensible policies, etc.

 

Yup, dirt bikes on the beach over specially bulldozed dunes. Mass starts
in the hundreds and much predictable hilarity.

BBC weather says it wont rain so bring wellies and prepare to get
ratarsed.

 

I'm rather worried about getting there as I just arrived home to
discover there's no fuel in any of the local filling stations.

 

Is that really true though? I know there are rumours and resulting
queues at the pumps, but anything we can find seems to show that
there's plenty of the stuff to go round.

 

Is this because of the general strike they've decided to call over the
retirement age?

I can see there being uproar over here once government cuts start to
bite but I don't think we'll see a call for a general strike because
too many people don't care until something directly affects their
lifestyle.

 

I think it's part of the same thing, yes, although not actually a
'general strike' as such.

More to the point, the UK has effectively lost the right to strike
anyway, AIUI. And certainly lost the will.

 

I think the will is still there but only in a minority of workers so a
call for anything even resembling a general strike would be doomed to
failure.
