If you need any help down this way just let us know. I'm sure with your connections to the upper echelons of Power here in Altona we can get whatever you need accomplished.
Thanks Swatty. We'll be in touch. Jonny S has been doing a lot of work so far. And the upper echelons seem pumped.
nice wheels.
requesting vernika and farmer sausage post altona-cross. don't forget the schmonefat (sp?)
Schmauntfat
Actually Hal, the pre-race meal will contain Veriniki and Varscht (farmer sausage). This will help make the race a little more interesting. Winners receive Kielke (with Schmauntfat) and Schinke Fleisch while the rest feast on Jhrapschpare and Crackles!
Swatty, my mouth is watering. You should apply to be the food writer for the Echo.
I ate a huge gravy smothered plate of biscuits and sausage last year before the race in Minneapolis. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time, but not exactly a wise choice for a pre-race meal. It's not exactly the same as vereniki, varscht and schmauntfat, but I have to think the combination of gustatory delight and digestive distress would be similar. I can only assume that if everyone else in the field had eaten similarly, I would have done better than 40th out of 80. At least that's what I've been telling myself.
