The herald of a new age


Wednesday is becoming something of an unofficial "we have no work to do so let's go to the pub for lunch" day instead of the OFFICIAL Pub Lunch Friday (with which it co-exists peacefully).

So we went to the Old House at Home (pictured! Though I'm pilfering somebody else's flickr photo of it. Thanks random flickr guy!)

Thinking I would go for something slightly healthier than the standard bhurgher (not always in a fake Irish accent), I ordered a chicken burger from the fancy new menu (we were expecting soon-to-be-axed Barleycorn prices, but alas). However the surprisingly attractive waitressette (sorry, no pics) told me there were no burger buns! DISASTER! They did, however, offer to put the chicken burger on a baguette. Which I thought would be interesting so I said it was fine. "That's fine" I said. But also when we were sat outside she also said there were no chicken burgers/fillets/meat products! Double disasteroni! So I said I'd have a beef burger instead if that was ok. "That's fine" she said. Anyway, the point of all this rambling is that when it did actually come to the table, it was a burger... on a baguette... and so it was the birth of -

THE BURGETTE!

Brilliantly I didn't take any photos of it, so here's a video of my truly awful parking I did as we got there. I am the king of rubbish parking.

I can't believe you didn't move the car.

The food was calling. I almost felt guilty for a second.

Only one other person came in the car park and sat there for an hour WITH HIS ENGINE RUNNING and then drove off again! So while I do rubbish parking pretty much all the time, I don't KILL THE PLANET like some people.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a green and don't actually care that much)
