A lady in Lincoln said I should start now before it become too big a task, but not sure where to start anyway! I loved this Beds day for just the reasons you say, no one was talking about these places and such hidden gems. And friendly people. And hood skittles galore, much nicer than the pretentious Bar Billiards craze hitting York at present. <br /><br />Good point, it is rather flat. I saw a horse once eating some grass, that was the highlight of my Beds sight seeing.<br /><br />Another good point, it was almost smashed avocado by the time I got back into Bedford!

I read Beer in Beds when I see it and get no sense that the Branch visits plain pubs like that. I hope the Interweb man can find some way of preserving this stuff beyond the end of time.<br /><br />I never knew Bedford got proper walkers. I've never seen one on my walk. What would you see ?<br /><br />And as for avocado in pubs, where you from ?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-64463580802232305182015-10-26T22:13:52.118+00:002015-10-26T22:13:52.118+00:00So Nastro Azurro is some form of Italian alcoholic...So Nastro Azurro is some form of Italian alcoholic beverage. My initial guess was coffee. I'm not sure how that affects my expectations of John.<br /><br />I lived in student halls with a girl from Milton Keynes. She could be quite scary, though my one stand out memory of her was her saying 'I was so proud' in a very southern, non proud way when commenting on the franchise scum beating some jumped up Premier League outfit, possible West Ham, in a tin pot cup competition.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-73141715406003686402015-10-26T22:00:14.936+00:002015-10-26T22:00:14.936+00:00I have read Antonia Fraser's impossible book ...I have read Antonia Fraser's impossible book so will be ready for quiz question.<br /><br />You don't drink alcohol and Italy is very southern so I'll give you that.<br /><br />It was tongue in cheek, the wise compliment, more wise than Denis though.<br /><br />Rots Hole! Scarier than MK if boring concrete cows and angelic Christina from work is all they have to offer for trying to spook me on Oct 31st!

I didn't buy a hat but I did see a 99p shop. Stuff that you overpriced southerners. <br /><br />I presume that Nastro Azurro is some posh southern thing that doesn't concern me.<br /><br />If you are implying that I am wise, I take the compliment gratefully but I'm not sure that I agree with it.<br /><br />Surely you're Halloween special will be Milton Keynes. Quite apt really. Last time we had a game billed a Halloween Horror Show was I believe the 3-2 win at Roots Hall. Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
