What? is that a train for vehicles? I've never seen that before.
Yes. For some reasons I can't fathom. It was decided that when they built the tunnel, it would not be for driving through. You have to drive onto a train and sit like a stuffed parrot for 40 minutes or so. I am sure there are longer tunnels in the world that one can drive through. The infrastructure on the Channel Tunnel is immense, mainly because of the bloody trains….
I thought it was to stop the driving on the wrong side of the road confusion. I often (sometimes) dream about arranging an 'every body all out, now on 3, you go left, I go right, we criss-cross and hey, we're now on the other side of the road'.

Not if you're from the UK, Stella is not even a choice…..ever. I would rather drink just about anything other than Stella.

Says a man who I would bet has never had "Brewed in the UK, under license" Stella before :o
Basically, I can never recall trying Orvall, so either I haven't, or it didn't make an impression on me at all. UK brewed Stella is basically battery acid, over here it's nick name is "wife beater", as it is the chosen drink of the mono brain celled beings who inhabit our town and city centres. It (along with Carling and Fosters) is the beer choice of the hooligan, the uneducated, and criminally insane. It is piss.

And beer buying had to be done. I had a "firm" budget of Euro300, so was not surprised that we managed to get away with Euro550….Space in car being the limiting factor.
Seuls beer place is amazing and I can't wait to go back...
Needed a beer to recover…
The bill in that pic is the first of two bills we managed to win in the beer place. We filled the trolley up, so went and paid and then went back for more….

Giles, when you post stuff like that, I can't help but get all cliche and think "only in my dreams!"
