The all new Nick, Miss C and Mr C go out for lunch thread

[Darwins Selection]

Countdown to departure

Indeed, we are counting down here too.  Mr C will tie my best napkin around my throat and I am under strict instruction not to throw my cutlery about.

I have to escape the Nottingham roadworks festival first

  I knew that you had been loitering in the shrubbery but I didn't know that you had a camera.

Not too close, I have a real whopper.

You are so much younger and far more handsome than I had thought.  Or is it that you have to have a serf to carry your 'whopper' for you?

Ummmm either way are you free for luncheon next week?

What an adventure (if you don't get out much).  Decided that a visit to a cash point was a good idea. There were four people in front of us two of whom had quite obviously entered a  'Mini Statement Woman of the Year competition. 

Two sets of unexpected roadworks and a very slow digger later I decide to call Mr Nick to tell him that we would be a tad late.  Call went straight to voicemail.  Ten minutes later we were somewhat geographically challenged.    Google came to the rescue and within minutes I saw a signpost telling us that we were three miles from or destination, or at least the village in which the hostelry was. Calling Mr Nick seemed like the polite thing to do. It went straight to voicemail.

We arrived somewhat late. Fantastic menu excellent wines, not sure about the beer, not my department. We were able to sit in a fairly secluded room and I managed not to throw cutlery anywhere or at anyone.

I would not hesitate to recommend  the place.  We will certainly be going back if we can ever find it again.

We left in bright sunshine the scenery was stunning.  Nick was going to Bakewell to pick up a tart or two.

Dat old trowt got lost 

Only thing on the menu we all had was pan fried 

Got a tart and a small bird in Bakewell both of which I shall enjoy later

Stopped in Matlock Bath and bought Miss D an chocolate icecream, but as she wasn't there I kindly ate it myself 

Only just got back cos the only non roadwerks route into Nottingham was blocked

As expected...

Oh yes.

We are in training for and building up to that much talked about, much coveted, even revered in certain circles accolade, the Not Meeting Meeting Award.

As many will know it was our own loved and still much missed Malcolm who last challenged and won the award and as a token of our respect this will, from now on, be know as the Snoopy Cup Challenge.

The challenge, as many on here will know, is to find a rural location with no phone signal and no internet access.  The location  must have two hostelries with the same name or names so similar as to be easily confused.  A meeting must then be arranged (well in advance) between the challenger/s and Nick.

To win the cup the challenger must sit in a hostelry not occupied by Nick for at least two hours. Nick meanwhile must sit in the same village/hamlet in the pub with the same name (or name so similar as to be easily confused) for a corresponding number of hours.

The challenger and Nick must then berate each other for a period of at least two weeks, unless they are judged to have been berating each other for at least 18 hours a day in which case the adjudicators may decide that a one week period will suffice.

Only when the berating has reached level 10 on the official VP Beratatron (standardised measuring system) will a new winner be declared.

Extra points may be awarded if the challenger remains in the comfort of their own home whilst Nick sits in a pub, however there must still be two hostelries with the same name (or name so similar as to be easily confused) Nick must be sitting in one for an undisclosed length of time, the other within a three mile radius unless there is snow on the ground. Should that be the case Pub Laws apply.  See terms and conditions for details.















Terms and conditions not only apply but may be subject to change without prior notice or arrangement.

Makes sense to me
