Hi All well another update in stardate xxxxx











Hi blog readers , seagulls and very hungry ones to start




Been a busy week for Mr Pimms



Out to the US of A for a week just before the big day




Seen a few friends who I have not seen for a few years as we went for vendor A in the last company , it was all about money not about the Aircraft as thats what talks in big numbers and believe me it was BIG numbers when you buy over a hundred at millions each. I will not publish but you could ask in person for a fee!!!






Well what did Mr Blenders have in Seattle this time?



New yorker Steak , yum yum and about 16oz with it, all protein so ok with that on the lets get heavier whilst in the UK





Must eat more pulses and less fatty stuffs as not much more to go , well for Mr Blenders at least , Mrs Pimms is on a report with the cruel Mr Gym man when she gets back!!!




Meanwhile , what goes on in life as we know it!



Well managed to get a free pass for this place whilst walking past on the other side of the street, honest we did?



I think someone I know would like one as he has been before



No names as he knows who he is???




Just never try to claim on exes , as you never know who might take advantage of the situation!!




Sorry @@@@@








Seattle is a really nice place , loads of fantastic eateries, good people and a really good trip for anyone to take, top of my list of what cities in the world wide wish list everyone whould visit




You can even see the fish throwing if you want to on Pike street market but will let you imagine that one till you visit





Namaste freinds

Blogging update

Hi its Mr B again for the update on India's 60th

Was nice to see all the kids putting on a show at the complex to celebrate the start of their countries 60th year of independence.






We all celebrated the day before with veggie food for lunch and a best T shirt day at work, a couple of prizes given out by the HR department to people from the office, yep you are being blogged people!






There was even another gorra, who didn't make it to being first in line on the free food.
I didn't get there first for a change this time!
A least it meant no breakfast bar and bananas for lunch today
I wonder how heavy I am now?

Ah , the Police story
Can you guess why I had to visit the police Station on Sunday by these two piccies?







Of course you can, can't you?
Well its so obvious that I would get the car towed from outside the railway station where they was no notices about parking , everyone knows that, don't they?
I think India might have a way to go yet?

The picture with the parking sign above it cost me 10rps, car was parked by the attendant and only 500 metres away from the other picture.
We were visiting an excellent market but we all got very moist due to the heat and humidity

The picture without any parking signs cost me 830rps
600rps for the challan
200rps for the tow
30rps for the rickshaw ride
And its not claimable on expenses!

All I can say is that it was a good job the driver was there, or I would of been a bit lost as to where the car was and how to retrieve it?
As I have not mastered Hindi and the Police not mastered English it was very funny showing them my international driving licence to record on the form for the challan ( fine)
But heh dad the police know all about you now, address, age, what you had for tea and inside leg measurment. Just avoid the taylors when you visit Indian forms are very strange but you do have it in Hindi and English
Needless to say they took the money
Never mind as its all part of the adventure and "asda price or cheap as chips" as they say in Goa

Last, a little bit of meanwhile
I think this was the french embassy before they moved to more palacial rooms in the Embassy Enclave

feel free to enlarge the piccie by clicking on it , its worth it but e-mail/speak to Denis C first for the excellent french accent as he has used it in the past in Seattle. Another "lifes like that" tale to tell


Namaste

Mr Royal Challenge as no blenders left this week

13 Aug 2007

Yippee its monday


Hi Blogger readers

Mr B here once again now that the visitors have gone back to join the real world, 250rps a night rooms, with running water ( hot at 0715 for 1 minute only) so they told me .
Luxury

Still they enjoyed their moist days in Delhi , albet short it was.
There is always a next time in the Gurgaon Hotel

We all managed to catch the easy recruits on thier long way to Luton
Lots of orange walking/running people on their pilgramage with
water from the ganges on thier shoulders.

Outside the closed red fort with this one , closed as its India's Birthday this week.
Independence celebrates 60 years of home rule, will Scotland ever get that far?
Mufty day in the office tomorrow so jeans and T Shirts , wild, national or just whacky for the day.


Meanwhile Ben celebrates with a decent glass of Royal Challenge
A well earned cold beer and is waiting for it to be not quite so decent, he just had to keep filling it up with more cold beer.
Ok its a man thing or can you tell by the smile??
Well Mrs P is away at the moment so its allowed



Mr B managed to have two days at
the pain giver and must be working
as another 1lb has vanished
somewhere? It's not the two and a
half pack following all the sit ups yet
but he does feel good and you can
see just how he was a wee while back.


Well at least he wont be asking "does my bum look big in this" at the wedding!





Meanwhile
Managed to catch our little chewi , he's been destroying the
kitchen door trying to get in or was it out , was very surprised
we had one on the sixth floor. He was a little upset denting the cage as it rattled around the balcony
He's got his freedom now, away from the gorras and only has to worry about the buzzards circling overhead!
That just leaves the gecko's to make friends with the cockroaches.

Its now official Mr B has become an Indian, got into Humayun's Tomb as a resident of India by showing my visa, 10 rps to get in instead of the 250 rps for the tourists. The guard just smiled
Will let you know why I decided to use the non tourist rates later , but for now all I can say is it involved a short rickshaw ride to the Police Station on a Sunday Lunchtime form a station in Delhi.
Only have to visit x more old relics to get my monies back.


Well Namaste for now

Leakage



Hi blogger readers Mr Blenders here

Well today managed ot find one tourist attraction that everyone should visit on a trip to Delhi??
An excermental visit and a really good movement had by all.
Effluential, non toxic, human waste treatment methods on display for all to see free of cost in Delhi.

As the bottom right says , it tastes like olives!!
Mr Blender is not eating olives any more!!
All schoolboy humour to be shown around a place full of

An International Museum , actually they do a fantastic job in converting many people to saving the planet and I was very impressed by their work, a very worthy visit

Its amazing what you can do with it , power lights , cooking, feeding fish and watering your veggies.
Some by natural gas , yes that' right natural!!
Some by liquid form, by treating the water and pouring it on your tomatoes, yuck!
I think I will always have two tomato plants, one for me and one for ...........
You have to leave it for 3 to 20 years ( depands on the size of the hole you dig ) and use it as fertilizer, now who wants some more potatoes with thier tomatoes ?
Unfortunately you do need to dig a few holes in the ground and wait a few years for the desired effect,

Was thinking of digging a couple of the 20 year pits and leaving my will in the bottom of one of them
I couldn't say which one , a bit like find the sixpence in the christmas pudding.


Someone ex easy poeple might know this person on the throne?
Ben is now designing one for his house in Luton.
Well if you have to go then do it in style







Mr Blender was shy and closed the door to the VIDP toilet
Very Important D? toilet , need some help as have not thought of the word yet for D but I am sure you can ? Nothing rude of course as I am very posh now and never repeat words like that


Followed this with a look around for a decent barber but got a little confused when we read the 3 signs in a market in Delhi .
Classic, but at least they tried.
Remember you can click and enlarge the piccies

Following morning
Just waiting for the guests to wake up having had a few last night in a jazz club in Gurgaon
Well, having been on the road for many months, Mr Marking and myself had to let them see the other side of India that we have to suffer from.
5 star treatment, great music , jacobs creek evaporating far too quickly in the air conditioned bar , seafood, chicken and veggies to fill our hungry bellies.
Its tough for some people and thought that they have to see just how hard it is for themselves
And as its now 1015 IST , I think they may of suffered


Namaste

Mr Blender and some easy guests

Yet another one

Hello says Mrs back in blighty now and what a busy week it was in India
Gym, shopping, eating out , more shopping and gym again followed by nails , shopping and gym and a bit more eating, dinner in the Raddison, more gym and nails , face massage , eyebrows plucked and a few more pluckings.
Just where does it stop this hectic life




Mr
left in India to earn the groats.

Leftover dinners in the tupperware boxes to make life easy.


For those that don't know Mr B, he is one of these new age travelers who is planning his journey to the islands soon to hug a barrel.
xxx gottles of Islay's finest after the angels share 2-3% he's told.
His has got the three numbers and honest, not yet into counting "days" as still on "years" to wait.
Meanwhile he is keeping a close eye via the webcam on his maturing barrel of 56% ish, non chill filtered.

Anyone goes near it and its an instant call to the distillery and the local constable to "nab the blaggers" as they would say in Delhi.

Apparently its lots of water on this one when it hits the whisky glass.
Well that will be better than the diet coke in blenders pride .
Now thats a party everyone will want an invite too, he just has to think of a decent name to decorate the bottles with.
Decent Whisky?
Mine's a half?
The long wait?
Nippie Sweetie?

Nothing much has happened to it yet apart from letting it take all the taste out of the barrel as seen on the webcams, you can check it out on yourself http://www.bruichladdich.com/

There is also another mixed case maturing that carries a bit of a health warning

Quadruple Distilled

In March 2006 the first ever Quadruple distilled single malt was made at 90% alcohol.X4 - PERILOUS WHISKY - A legendary quadruple distillation - usquebaugh-baul is the highest strength single malt spirit ever. From the oldest tasting note by Martin Martin in 1695: "…the first taste affects all the members of the body: two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; and if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.”.


So thats at least 2014, before the "teaspoon or a lot of water and a splash of this stuff party"
They used to call drinking sippers in the Navy , so it will be one of those parties

Where's Islay you ask, look up a map and find out yourself !
Do you want me to do all the work ?

On a last note and to make you smile
A VIP toilet here in India.





Namaste

Mr Blenders
