Mission accomplished

Beer collected from Belgium: check
Pleasant dinner with pleasant company: check
Pilgrimage to Spa Francorchamps completed: check
Germany revisited at even higher speeds: check

UK border staff refusing to believe that I drove to Brussels and back
just to collect a single crate of beer: you betcha

 

Questioned with latex?

 

Not quite that bad, just a car search and a grilling.

"all that way? For one crate? One? Pull over there sir..."

 

Cunts, I'm riding 1200 miles just to have a drink of Kinnie and a
hobz-biz-zejt in Valletta.

BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite
they churn out)

 

Crates cost money

I just piled it into the back of the car - about 600euros worth

I got stopped on the way out

I had to get out of the car, walk through their airport style scanner,
back in the car and drive off

Stupid french customs official that had problems understanding that the
polypin of London Pride I was taking to germany wasn't wine
