  Don't know why those 11 miles home felt so tough, but it was slightly uphill overall.

  Express Tavern Kew +/-20:00
  Watch out for the road works at the junction with Kew Bridge,
  there will probably be some out-of-patience drivers fuming in slow moving traffic.
  Securish bike parking down the left hand side entrance to the Beer Garden,
  (you'll really need a cable to secure the frame).
  Wide selection of guest beers. They had some tasty stouts & porters back in December.
  For the carnivores amongst us, Thursday night is 'Rib Night'.

  Hi,
  If they are still available,
  I would like to buy the Mavics.
  Perhaps by pm you could advise a suitable time for the collection?
  (The Rolf's look cool,
  but at 90kg I'm guessing I'm over their weight limit).

  I'ld vote for Sibley, in just his 4th Test.
  It's one thing being told by everyone from selectors, coaches, Captain, even Micahel Vaughan,
  that 'England need to bat long'. It's quite another thing to actually do it.
  The concentration and self-restraint required was phenomenal.

  It's always a strong choice,
  but it does invoke an @Sifta veto.

  I popped into a Brewdog on the 30th Dec and was very taken by the
  Biere de Coupage 5.9% Saison Ale they had in the Paddington branch.

  Still a fan of those (niche Japanese) brewers at Fullers,
  but the Red Lion didn't have any notable seasonal beers this Winter.

  Would ShepBush BrewDog gain favour?
  ( @Regal even saw a Gousto ad on the Tube in late December.
  May not be news to others as I am an infrequent Tube user).
