- Which is still a bit FOREIGN

Bon Voyage, Professor Larrington
Professor Larrington departed this shores for an extended sojourn in Captain Cook's Mistake today. The good news is that she has consented to take Thomas with her, as bodyguard-cum-comedy foil. With the real Thomas having just returned from FOREIGN climes for a visit to .nl1, the opportunities for confusion are legion.
Also my parcel from MSI did arrive, but didn't contain any Stroopwafels chiz.

I thought Tesco stocked the Dutch treats?
ReplyDeleteThis may be the case but the nearest branch is a lot further away than my favoured Shopping Solution viz. Mr Sainsbury's House of Toothy Comestibles. As noted last week it is next door to IKEA so the next time I have a pressing need for small candles, picture frames or those curious Z-shaped Allen keys I will have a shufti.
DeleteActually the late and not-very-lamented Essex Arms[1] got turned into a Tesco Express but I doubt Stroopwafels would figure highly on the stock list.
1: An establishment frequented by amateur boxers, buyers and sellers of Controlled Substances and the Metropolitan Police, which also sold booze. As a sideline.
Hurrah to Professor Larrington for agreeing to take Thomas on further adventures.
ReplyDeleteI want to try stroopwafels too. They work just as well with coffee, don't they? There isn't a Tesco anywhere near-by. Do you have any left?
ReplyDeleteSee posts passim about approved Stroopwafel-softening techniques.
DeleteDo I have any left? What kind of a stupid question is THAT?
Prof. Larrington will not have to worry about Steve Irwin but may have to contend with other Irwins.
ReplyDeleteA new version of the map is under consideration, with improved geographical accuracy, Peter "Turbo" Teatoff, better spelling, Drop Bears and Gareth Hanks.
