8 hour drive to hang with total strangers in a pub? Im in. What kind of pub is it? English, Irish, Scottish? Aww shit just remembered, my transmission only has 3 gears when it should have 4, I wont be able to make it. Maybe in 6 months or so when I can afford to get it fixed. But toss back a pint of Guiness for me anyways. ---

I do not belive that I have ever heard of scotch eggs before, please enlighten me. (about the eggs, I dont think that even a moderator could help me with the other type of enlightenment) ---

Mmmmm! Scotch eggs! I haven’t had those in years! A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat (with whatever fillers and seasonings you like) and fried or baked. See [http://www.britainexpress.com/articles/Food/scotch-eggs.htm](http://www.britainexpress.com/articles/Food/scotch-eggs.htm) for a recipe. ---

So, what would be a good day for a get-together of central left coasters? ---

We’re booked through the 7th of August, so if you hurry… But if it takes longer than that to get one organized, Mrs. B and I are probably in, otherwise, have one for us. ---
