is a daily 15 minute radio soap that's been on the go for about a million years. in fact i think it started an infinite number of eternities before the dawn of time itself...
but seriously...started in the 1940's i think, best described as ordinary tales of country folk. much misunderstood by non-listeners. it's about as bbc as it's possible to get...

will be poached (yeah!) very gently for 2-3hrs with cinnamon, star annise, fennel seeds, celeriac, allspice, carrot, onion and garlic. allowed to cool a wee bit then trim off most of the fat, spike all over with cloves and pour over the glaze (redcurrant jelly melted with a dash of red-wine vinager and a nice big spoon of smoked paprika).

I am now on a train using my iPhone with the onboard wifi.
As usual, the bash was a collection of oddballs sitting round a table. While many of the b3ta legends didn't make it, I got to meet some of the up and coming legends. The small-is turnout (about 7) meant we could all be part of the same conversation. Only took 3 pics but will post them when back. Am still a bit hungover, but wandering around York seems to have helped.

Go ahead and write whatever you want and don't give a fuck about what everyone else thinks. BTW what is couchsurfing?
Anyway. The trainjourney from NY to Niagara will give you an introduction to North-American trainjourneys which are a lot better than the rubbish we get over here.

saying hello to all food service people and sledge maniacs.
vampyrecat: I worked as a bar-back, bus-boy (cleaning off tables and empties) and finally a waitress for years as I went to college. the money was good. but some people are cunts, aren't they.
"I want a diet coke. With lemon and ice on the side in a separate glass." I heard this many times. Once a girl accused me of spitting in her drink - she was jealous that her date had smiled at me. "You aren't getting a tip, you fucking bitch!" shouted at me in the midst of dinner. All my other tables were aghast.
My last night waitressing I took off my apron, slashed it up with scissors and went to the corner and burned the fucking thing in a garbage can.
For the record: people should always tip. Always. If you can't afford it, stay home! Grr.
