She'll be along later to confirm or deny this rumour.

 

You are not (or ever have been) an EHO have you?

Test question:
How do you keep flies out of the kitchen?

Not entirely true. I want a Gixer thou, I just don't think I would get
away with it.

Confirmed. At least, I enjoyed it.

 

Good attempt, but I await Pip's answer.

Come to think of it I should have remembered the 'wells' discussion.

NAHAY? 20 years' worth, which I'm afraid comes back to haunt me
repeatedly.

Make the fuckers eat roodles.

 

Good answer - for, as any fule (should) kno - there's precious little
commonality of riding experience 'twixt a 600 and a proper bike.

"Get away with" in what context?

 

Fairly, also inattentive. Same here + a fair few, but I am cured now.

Heh.

Definitive answer: put a pile of shit in the dining room.

You /thiink/ you're cured - but a couple of days in the freezer and it
all breaks out again. In any case, you never really lose the
metaphorical white hat - you'll always take the opportunity to stab a
glance into the kitchen as the door swings open ... or sit in a bar,
playing "Spot the cobweb".

OTOH - why should you never moan too much about the pile of shit in
the store room? It keeps the flies out of the kitchen.

 

I specialised in AP and noise for most of my stretch (well almost
exclusively noise towards the end). Swapped my white hat for a hard hat,
ear plugs and safety shoes (and perilously close to being issued with a
'stab jacket' in recent years), so I am, thankfully, fairly relaxed in
catering establishments.

Definition - Expert: someone who knows more and more about less and
less.

Much more elegant.

I have packs of bacon in the bottom of the freezer that've been there
for at least 2 years and the oldest one was quite edible. I eat them in
rotation, but there's always one that gets missed. The record is a 5
year old packet of smoked salmon which was fine on thawing out.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Grimly Curmudgeon belched forth and ejected the
following:

I've got a frozen turkey in mine I won at bingo 3 years ago.

I'm not sure the eat-by date is still in code but it takes up space and
therefore costs less to run the freezer ;-)

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Pip belched forth and ejected the following:

Mr. Pip,

Would you care for a phone call?

I may have a little project and would get the smuggest satisfaction if
it worked out.

I won't be reading the group after about half five so I'll either take
the liberty of phoning you or...

Actually, I'll just take the liberty of phoning )

 

'sfunny - i thought you'd keep the Voxan in the garage.

The wine cellar. Speaking entirely personally, of course...

The the French dried sossiges that I bought at the French market in
Swindon at the weekend you mean? The ones that don't require any
cooling[1] at all because they are cured? The ones that we have eaten
several of so far and not died of salmonella from?

And very nice they are too. Especially in the beef stew that we did at
the weekend. In fact - much nicer in the stew than 'raw' with pickles
and a jar or two of wine. Mind you the stew was consumed with muc^H^H
some wine too.

That sort of curing?

Phil.

[1] Well - they are actually hung up in my (air-conditioned) computer
room at home but thats more of an attempt to make sure that the flies
don't get at them.

 

And it's important to note that sometimes killing the bugs won't stop
you getting food posioning - especially if the bugs have had time to
breed and infuse the meat with their by-products..

Do you think being ginga started you off?

 

I see what you did there.
