Dinner for Picky’s birthday was great. First, I treated myself to a pint of Abbott’s Ale in the nearby Wetherspoons (pub chain for tightar$es), while waiting for the others to arrive – Hammersmith is on the District Line so it only takes me 30min to get there from work in Richmond.<\/p>\n

It didn’t let me down. “Alu Ghobi” accompanied by a HUGE “poori\/puri” (puffed bread thing almost the size of my head!) called a “Batura”. Washed it down with 660ml of Cobra<\/a> – a light Indian lager.<\/p>\n Also sampled some of Nelsie’s “Tali” options which were also really nice – I might just have<\/i> to order a Tali next time.. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n My bro is looking at road bikes!<\/b><\/p>\n How embarassment.
