a pint in notting hill with gerry

i went over to notting hill on friday to meet up with my old mate gerry.

as i've explained previously, gerry is a well respected time-traveller and

is usually to be found on the kings road during the swinging sixties.

he also has a strange affect on cameras and always appears in black and white.

here gerry eyes my digital camera with suspicion.

i ordered up some food at the bar and sat down with gerry to discuss

what sellers is up to and to hear the latest gossip from the 'blow-up' film set.

as ever when ordering food in a strange pub, i had a feeling of impending doom.

so when the barmaid approached our table with a tray of food, this is what she saw...

poor thing... no wonder she looked nervous.

gerry was laughing. his burger was spot-on. 

he picked up his fighting irons and tucked in.

alas, somewhat predictably, my food was a disaster and i had to send it back.

if i'd have wanted salad with my eggs benedict i'd have asked for it.

what ?
