West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

FYI - So everyone knows - Dancing James is not a fencer. He's gets touchy about that - he is an 'epeeist' (which is much funnier when you write it out)

He may challenge you to a duel for this insolence.

mowgster looked like he thought the bacon chocolate was his induction, and he didn't look too happy about it!

was lovely to see all ye westies.

i've eaten a chocolate covered scorpion before, but bacon? that's too weird...

Yeah but I'll expect a formal challenge with the glove slap, obligatory "offended honour" speech, the challenge, the time, the place, the choosing of seconds, blah blah blah.

PS - Bacon chocolate is like those strange local yeast and meat extracts that people are prone to ruining bread with. Love it or hate it. Personally, bacon chocolate FTW!!!!

Thanks for the warmwelcome last night, enjoyed it and will definetly be going again.

Speaking of warmth Mowgster where did you say sold that icebreaker gear ? I was certain i'd lost a gonad last night on the way home, going over a bump on the way home so i definitely need me some winter warmers.

Another icebreaker convert...

Snow and Rock in Covent Garden has the 3rd floor dedicated to merino goodness

Yes well its that or the inability to have more children..Icebreaker wins on this point although...no more children means more money to spend on bikes....what a dilema!

Nah bollocks to that after 33 years i kinda grown attached to them. Cheers i'll pop down there over the weekend.

had streaky bacon this morning. followed it up with some dark choc just to reproduce last night's treats...

...yep, still wrong

but thanks for the experience, chris :)

bows head in shame

i was bloody freezing and tried to instigate a movement inside but noone was up for it so went for a bit of a ride, when i hit camden i realised i should pobably start heading home.

eventually made it about and hour and a half after leaving the pub!

bacon = good
chocolate = good

bacon + chocolate = wrong

cheers for the goodies from Americaland Chris!

No No No! Bacon + Chocolate = Delicious! C'mon BDW your a man with delicate discerning taste buds. Anyway, it's mine now!

Good point! What the hell is up with marmite?! F'in Blech!

apols guys, I was all set to come then a friend sms'd me - she was having birthday drinks at my local (the reliance, old st). I would have brought the BMC too....:-(

@Hippy, I've just weighed it (for your blog). 7.200kg. I reckon there's 200g of stickers on it....

stoopid 'mericans…

what next, bacon with maple syrup, sheeesh!

And corn bread? Oh Wayne - you're making me all nostalgic for home

Umm lucky for me I did not partake in the delights of the baco choco thing ...... and reckon it is one of those marmite moments you love it or you hate it !
Good to see all again and always a very warm welcome till next week :)

I need a seat post to finish off my build before saturday (tweed run), only after something for a week or two til I find exactly what I'm looking for. Does any of the West crew have something I could borrow ? Needs to be 27.2mm

ta

I have one but it's carbon aero, not at all tweed! Unless you disguise it in wool.

Seat post now sorted thanks to ebay, does anyone have a front brake caliper for sale with 45mm ish drop for sale?

will take a look with a ruler tomorrow, I've got an ancient old weinman job, something no name and a spangly new campag, not sure what the depth are on any off the top of my head...

any westies fancy meeting up for beverages early??

about the tweed ride, how bout this location (a 'gentleman's club' that everyone on my road when I grew up was a member of- easy to get in too :)
