OK temporary accomodation for us ex-pats of Spacie's coffee house that is sadly now boarded up and in memory of Goldie's old pad the tearooms.

No fancy stuff, as this is temporary until we find a nice new place but it's warm down here with the fire and aga and I've organised a daily guinness, lager and wine delivery. There is a small kitchen in the corner and a few comfy cosy armchairs.

So feel free to take refuge when you need a break - self-service generally I'm afraid but when I can I'll rustle up a meal :>)

He's a good looking chap, what?

I wonder what spurred him on?

(Uncorks the whisky.) (Squeak, pop.) (Slides bottle down the bar.) (Swoosh.)

I forgot I was in the bar.

(quick exit)

(Squeak, squeak. Re-corks the whisky.) (Slam!) (Puts it gently back on the shelf.)

Is it summer yet?

It is here, until tomorrow!

Any Guinness?

Oh yes, and it's coming out with force. Watch out for the dark side though.

Alec Guinness. Do you like Guinness? :o)

Legs crossed!

Alec whisky too.

That's a sexy glass!

That guinness has gone straight tomy head!

Heston Blumenthal is set to serve up a £207,000 "test-tube" burger later this year.
The tasty meal will be the first beef patty ever created in the laboratory thanks to the efforts of Dutch stem cell scientist Dr Mark Post, from the University of Maastricht.


Ha! They are a bit behind the times. I've been growing a stem cell burger in a jam jar in the fridge for three months! Time to take a look at it. Here we go............er, hmmm; maybe I used the wrong type of flower?

I was a donor for a stem cell translant, not a most pleasant exerience but could have been rewarding.

Well done Socs! Blood cells or bone marrow?

Kim - Stem cells extracted from blood after lots of injections to stimulate production of stem cells. A bit like dialysis, 5 hours or more on the machine. Not too much fun, more of an inconvenience really.

Good on you Socrates.

Time well spent Socs, hats off to you!

Where there is tea there is hope.
