Disconnected!











Monday
We do not have an internet connection at home at the moment. I took these photies on Thursday whilst up the allotment and after doing a training session in the evening. The full Beer Monster Reduction Vehicle was laid on the floor so I could take the photie dressed in my pants and socks, but maybe you don't really want to know that.

I tried hard to meditate and meditate and meditate from Wednesday on, but had the evenings off for drinking wine and spent most of yesterday socialising.

I discovered that you can buy a bottle of plonko collapso from Scotmid near where I stay for £3:49. The year after I left uni, you could buy a bottle of Spanish sauterne in Bellshill for £1. You could buy seven pints of beer for £1 in 1973. A pint of beer in the Traverse last week cost me more than the plonko collapso: £3:80.

Is it time to give up the Erdinger (£1:99 a bottle from Peckhams) for the plonko collapso, Jack? Hmmmm? You should stop drinking, Hotboy. But you can't buy soapbar in this town for love nor money. If I stop drinking, that would be no soapbar, no drinking, no nothing. So be it, Hotboy. So be it.

Quite a coincidence that your connection failed just as I posted a writerly vodcast at my place for people with broadband.

Excellent pics. In the BMRV shot, the black thing between the trouser legs has to be a "protector" in case of a sudden urge to play cricket.

I had half a bottle of Paulaner last night before resealing the cap to prolong the pleasure. Based on distance travelled by the bottles, you should surely be paying less than me for your weissbier. If you moved to Bavaria, you could get Lidl's own brand weissbier for almost nothing, which would surely help.

PS did the homebrew weissbier taste right? I might try making one.

Scottish strawberries! What a fortunate creature you are.

Hotboy said...

Albert? Your video doesn't work. The taste of strawberries last night straight from the plant was something else. The homebrew weissbeir tasted surprisingly good! Hotboy

rob said...

It did but now it doesn't. The basturns have taken it down.

PS - the video is working again here, but maybe only within New South Caledonian borders. Is your broadband on again?

Hotboy said...

Albert? The Dom Bliss has got the broadband working on this machine, but the other one has lost this world and can't recognise the beepy thing! Dearie me! Bollocks! Hotboy p.s. If you as a computery genius can't get it to work .. at least, your horrible bourgeois public school upbringing left you being able to spel!

rob said...

Okay, but more importantly did the homebrew weissbier taste like weissbier or just like homebrew?

Hotboy said...

Albert? It did taste quite like weissbeir. After a wee bit, I didn't remember the difference, but I couldn't remember anything by then. Hope this helps. Send me some of your drugs, please. That would help. Stuffed up inside a toy koala. I bet no one's ever tried this before. Could you post about your brother and the dating website thing? People need that kind of info here. Hotboy

Sashy! How did you get here? The photies were taken with the cheapest mobile phone. They probably don't have allotments where you come from. Hotboy
