Yesterday, Emma and I headed out to check out a new pub that has opened in town. The Bishops Arms. They serve fish 'n' chips! So it is only natural that I go and check them out, given that they are totally in walking distance and they also have a selection of over 300 beers. Score!
We got seated, ordered and waited for our meals. Emma got the Angus beef burger, which was quite delicious.. on the second take! The first take, not so great. We were served a hockey puck. I know Emma likes her meat well done.. but that was more than well done! Who knows what they actually did to this hunk of meat but when I went to try it, it nearly broke my tooth! It was returned and a fresh one come out that just by looking at it you could tell it was much better. I'd eat it again, hopefully it wont take a second round to get it right next time. They were very lovely after and came and asked if it was better, which redeemed them a little.. unlike the morons at Lilla Torg who served us a fly and when we said something, just picked it out and gave it back to us.. without even an apology too.. but these things happen right? Just means I don't go back.. no loss to them I bet.
My meal, being fish 'n' chips.. was a little small to be honest, it felt like a handful of chips, Emma actually got more with her hearty burger.. luckily I got a quarter of her burger to help fill the gap.. and beer helps fill the gap too.. and of course I had a beer.. I was in a pub. You drink beer in those! Or is that just what I say as an excuse to drink beer? Anyways, there wasn't anything overly wrong with my meal.. perhaps a little small, I would have liked a few more chips but it was tasty enough.. they could do away with the fake newspaper in my opinion.. it didn't really add anything but disguise the amount of chips you actually get lol.
I enjoyed the décor too.. how could I not with pictures of my.. err one of my queens hanging around the joint. [picture of me and a queen, hot stuffs] I will go back and enjoy a meal and beer every now and then.
After our meals, we headed out into the cold wind and rain to check out the Christmas windows in town and the little market.. it was quite sad.. no wonder I never remember going. I thought I had never been.. but apparently I had.. o well! It was an experience, that's for sure.
The Christmas madness has begun tho.. people are out and about doing their Christmas shopping.. good for them! I am done.. although, we did come across the perfect gift to Hank.. for her birthday next year. We are planners. Hear us plan!
Sometimes however, plans can get a little skewed! Just recently we had a bit of a freak out moment, where SAS was heading to the cleaners and that would have meant our flights to Berlin would have gone POOF! After a couple of days of anxiousness.. we got the good news that SAS isn't going under just yet and we are safe to go and enjoy our little Berlin/Stockholm trip next month! Wooop wooop! So of course that has now meant a little more planning.. and for my birthday, Emma is taking me to see Cirque du Soleil Corteo in an actual big top! in Berlin! It is going to be EPIC! The Berlin trip is shaping up to be quite the little holiday.. we might just need a couple of days to recover from all the awesomeness of that week!
2 weeks and Pinko will be here.. I will be collecting her doped up ass from Copenhagen airport and trying to keep her stable and awake enough to get into the house routine of early rising! Pinko is obsessed with vikings, so I have wrapped one of her very awesome Christmas presents like so.. [link to awesomeness] I mades it all by myself.. coz I have way too much time on my hands! Hahahaha Actually it didn't take that long, I was impressed.
It is pretty hard to believe that there is little over a month left of this year.. it seems to have just chugged along like a fast train! It doesn't really feel all that long ago that Pinko decided she wanted to grace our humble abode in the land of cold.. yes, she is mental to want to come here in winter.. but you have to be a little mental to be friends with me.. right?
