That's advisable. I used to regularly travel all the way to Leicester for a curry (well, actually it was an Indian grill) so I'm not adverse to travelling good distance for the perfect Ruby Murray.

Brackley's finest under the spotlight.....

Tunnie, I have no work to be done...but would be happy to help (clearly by making the tea)  ;D

Is the "plan" to meet up at "Tiffins" just prior to eating .. or some other venue for a beer .. or something entirely different ... I have no work needed but would be willing to help others if required? ... just need to plan journey times and pre-warn Mrs E of intentions .....  :)

Tunnie and I were planning some tinkering at his during the day.

The Crown's bar does Old Hookey IIRC, for those that like treacle beers, and Stella for lager (I have a rule not to drink Stella on draft, so can't comment). Red Lion is opposite, Fosters and Carling for lager, and I don't think any hand pull ales.  Head up the hill, and you have the lively kids pub at the traffic lights (can't remember its name, Rose & Crown?), but does tend to get overrun by (very) young lads who get rawdy after half a weak shandy. Entertaining though. Further along are the Greyhound and the Bell, again quite lively, and some years just before Xmas, the Greyhound bargirls dress up as Santas little helpers...  ...and I order anything from the bottom shelf in the fridges ;D

The Locomotive back down towards Mercedes GP/Tesco is a bit, errr, inbred, best avoided, and I think the Fox is currently shut. My local, The Chequered Flag, is a typical estate pub, but I was barred years ago, so obviously can't comment  :-X

Its not a bad place to spend a Saturday evening, as we rarely get trouble or things out of hand, unlike many towns.


In essence, I'll easy what peeps what to do - suspect I'll be tinkering until such time as light fades, but happy to go out for a swift one after, before curry. Depends what people have in mind.

Which one? For a correct control sample and scientific results, I've had a few ::). Not had a sit-in one for a while, must be 2 weeks now. ;D

I hope the weather is dry, currently long range forecast is not looking good.  :'(

Going to be difficult jacking both sides of the rear, with the bullets arse in the garage. It is also very full of junk in there  :-[

I should add no more QC testing until Saturday, as unfortunately all my stupid, gay allergies have made be a bit poorly.
