Run is cancelled again.
Weather is poor, but it's the fog that's done it.

Just trying to find somewhere more local to eat.

Nah food was great. Was sh*t ability to stick to the system that was the problem.

[pat]

Some of us did

[ChrisHolmes]

What happened folks?

[pat]

The pub had a deal called the weekend treat which was 3 courses and 2 drinks from a separate menu for £25, so Caren said if you stick to the system and have the £25 menu the final bill would be easy to work out. John decided to have the weekend treat menu but messed up the system by having some non menu drinks thereby making the bill very complicated

[brix79]

Did I mention 2 free beers?

[KJB]

I think they were probably scratching their heads and wondering if Derren Brown had visited this morning...

[ChrisHolmes]

Love it, typical monthly meet bill fun and games.

As it happens I'm just re-reading Life the Universe and Everything . It explains that bistromathics is a revolutionary new way of understanding the behaviour of numbers. Just as time and space are not absolute nor are numbers.

[ChrisHolmes]

“Bistromathics” sound as if it describes the science of dividing a restaurant bill!

[Ainmhidh]

Never read the Hitchhikers trilogy Chris? That's pretty much what it's talking about, and why it's never simple to work out at the end!

[ChrisHolmes]

Yep, never read it and never watched an episode on TV either!

[johnbb99]

Chris, it was originally written as a radio series and that is its purest form but it's also very good reading in a series of books.
In my view Douglas Adams' flights of imagination are incapable of being depicted on the screen.

[stewartm]

Radio series = deffo the only way to go. Was available on CD so maybe made it as far as the usual streaming suspects.

[Shagrington]

it was the original radio series I listened to and it was excellent, the books are good too. The TV series didn't do a bad job (they used most of the original radio cast), the film really wasn't great.

[johnbb99]

I'd just like to say a big 'hi!' to all the hoopy froods who really know where their towel is.
