You know what, I think I will, well, maybe battered sausage and chips.
Back in a couple of mins (we live that close to the chippy that if I jog I can get to the chippy whilst holding my breath, don't know why I felt the need to check that once, but I did 🙂 )

Oh, I've just put my lock in my camelbak so I can pick up a bar of chocolate on the way back from my ride . . . hmmmm, fish and chips sounds a much better post-ride snack though 😛 .

Our canteen does them but they are awful - far to greasy! And I am going on a ride straight from work at 2 so dont think they would have sat well on a ride!

Yes. You've been watching too much TV, we don't run it causes panic amongst the bystanders and the patient as they think "I must be dying". It also increases the risk of self injury.

I can't deny it but then again I'll eat my nice portion of Fish and Chips with no risk of getting fat.

Got some in the freezer but it just isn't the same, oh and for the record I don't always run to the chippy.
I just sometimes wonder how far/long/can I finish/something whilst holding my breath.
Occasionally think that it's a bit odd but am sure it isn't.

Very nice fish & chips in our canteen as well. Not quite as cheap as stonemonkey's but £3.20 isn't bad. 🙂

That's after the fish n chips if you play your cards right with the missus 😆

On a serious note, I now don't know whether to stick with the original curry plan, or whether to live life in the fast lane and just go for fish n chips. Decisions decisions...

and they use only the finest bits of fish, naturally.
The more crap in a sausage, the better it tastes. FACT.

fish and chips! At lunchtime? are you mad?

Friday lunchtimes are about chicken tikka kebabs, on naan, loads of salad, yoghurt and chilli sauce. Washed down with a few pints of Star.

I need a doze now. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Our chippy does lightly battered fish.
One has to watch one's waistline afterall.

Mmmmmmm, fish and chips, seeing as I drive right past a very good chippy, I might just have to pick up a chip supper for MrsMomo and myself on the way home from work tonight.

Bunnyhop
lightly battered fish absorbs more of the fat it is cooked in.
thick batter helps the fish to steam far healthier.
a bloke you met in a carpark in scotland gave me that advice. 😉

I had soup for lunch. No bread, as I had a root canal yesterday and my face feels like a football and it hurts to chew 🙁 Weetabix for tea, I think

Yes. You've been watching too much TV, we don't run it causes panic amongst the bystanders and the patient as they think "I must be dying". It also increases the risk of self injury.

Well, everyday is a school day!

Yep, the f*ckers'll have to go around the front if they want to steal anything else. I missed out on a Two Steps on Friday due to rushing about trying to get in front of a tv to see Wednesday's mauling. Wish I hadn't bothered
