tales from an ordinary world

1999-03-27

Since we were in the town that's home to Mars (at least around these parts), I succumbed to childhood fantasies and tried a deep-fried Mars Bar. It was...well...oddly satisfying, but I think I can cope without having another one for a while. Gooey chocolatey stuff encased in greasy batter. Hrm.

Tried another pub, but ended up returning to the Bridge Mall Inn, where the door guy recognized us from last night, so we didn't have to pay the cover charge - regulars after 24 hours ! I could get to enjoy it here ;) A Bob-Dylan sing-a-like (you couldn't understand a word he said) preceded rockabilly (and such) band the Turkey Slappers, who had some new song about the Loch Ness monster.
