Went to see 'the Goodies Still Rule OK' at the oxford playhouse last night.
Was good but short. Basically Tim and Graham reminicing over the history of the Goodies with some video clips from Bill ...

Had a couple of beers - but best thing was that [livejournal.com profile] nickeyb took me here beforehand:

Now i'm a huge sausage fan anyway ... these were bloody marvelous..

I did the 'Big Bang' a choice of 3 of any of the sausages off the menu or specials board (they have around 12 different ones at any time)

Did Cumberland, Linconshire and Pork and Apple ...

It doesn't stop there - they do around 10 different bottled Chiltern Brewery beers AND Jam Roly Poly (or Crumble of the day) with custard for desert - What more could you ask ...

The manager also gave us a bottle of Chiltern Wheat beer to try as he had some samples and is thinking of adding them to the menu - they were nice but a little bland, unlike the Haymaker Pale which was lovely ..

The manager also claims that everything is produce within 10 miles of the resturant, which is quite possible ...

Anyway - I recomend this place - and if your going let me know ..

Oh - and he even does four types of veggie sausage for the one or two non carnivores that wander through the door ..

LOTR ...

I've just managed to purloin a couple of tickets (face value £50 each (grand circle G13 & 14) for a total of £64 including postage so almost half price) for the opening preview of Lord Of The Rings on May 9th ...

To say reviews have been mixed is an understatement from these

to this from the new york times ..

I guess the point is the critics were always gonna slag it off anyway - and opening it in Canada first always seemed weird..

Anyway - I always ignore critics and fans seem to like it - which are usually good signs to me as i'm easy to please, and i also suspect some tweaking has been done between Toronto and here ... So [livejournal.com profile] nickeyb and I will be there in a couple of weeks ... I'm quite excited in fact ;)
