10 golden fresh donuts for new fixed gear riders

Queensgate shopping centre in Peterborough

Blimey, I used to go there before/after going Ice Skating (the only reason we ever went to Pooborough). It was shit 25 years ago, can't imagine what it'd be like now.

Don't eat doughnuts now. They bypass the off switch; one leads to many which leads to corpulence.

You should get to Edinburgh. Red lights are a breeze to jump through. Usually nothing at the junction wherever you are.

The doughies are pretty rad.

Ice skating and last-minute passport applications...

Don't tell me you never went to Laserquest, out in one of the (many) industrial estates?! Nice to see some fenlanders representing!

They have those warm pretzels at buchanan galleries in glasgow which are pretty good. Warm and covered in cinnamon and sugar. I would buy more if they had a furry mascot to tempt me in though.

Queensgate shopping centre in Peterborough...

Went to a Northern Soul all-nighter but was arrested for criminal damage and missed it: squirting washing-up liquid in one of the centre's fountains.

Impressive bubbles though...

It's cool when a thread takes a turn and becomes awesome. This thread totally did a pivot and then disrupted.

Good clean fun

Yep, 4 years bumming about doing photography, growing my hair, 80p pints, Blue Note, shopping at Jacksons and farm foods, many pubs whose names I've forgotten, getting beaten up by the 'DLF', Cycling my £20 BSA and of course eating Dinky Donuts. Made some smashing friends there, mind.

I have no doughnut memories to contribute, but when I was growing up we did have a covered market with a tripe stall where you could buy, by weight, the best pork scratchings the world has ever seen. Inches long with a quarter-inch of artery destroying deliciousness along the underside, nothing like the pale imitation you get in plastic sachets in pubs.

Alas the market is now a shadow of what it was, the tripe shop is long gone, and I am a vegetarian.

Also, custard slices > doughnuts

Not sure if they still do them since it's now a hipster real ale pizza joint, but for a while the Pembury Tavern did large bags of homemade pork scratchings that were a little pricey (£2.50 I think) but excellent.

cast your eyes upon the delicious refuge of broke, drunk new englanders and the orange trispoke and wheep

My local sells pork scratchings by the half pint.

After some experimentation, I have found that two pints of crisp Porter per half pint of scratchings is about right.

#ymmv

is a pork scratching like a chicharrón? If so, I would go for a light lager instead.


I'd risk a ballsy IPA, but you and I clearly differ in what we consider decent behaviour.

That's a really small bag close-up, no?

Pork Scratching Ride?

Would need to be at least 300k to negate scratching calories

Pork Scratching Ride?

Plz.

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking of a situation where I wouldn't TBH.

Hmm. I don't remember anything in particular, but I believe you. I am pretty cool in gen, but could stand to improve in the "decent behavior," "use of shitty abbreviations like 'in gen,'" "making unsubstantiated claims," and a lot of other departments.

I also rode through the rain and did not wash my bike afterward nor do basic chain maintenance even though it was rusty and loose. I was shocked when I slipped a chain today. I guess I could add 'foresight' to the list.

I've cashed in my donut credits til 2017 :(

Like your thinking.

You were there so you can't talk about it.
