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 :>)

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.

Well in that case, I hope we have some tea.

Tea from a coffee pot? That's hopeless! ;o)

You can tell by his raised little finger that Mr President usually drinks tea. From a china teacup.

Or iced tea.

I don't think that the word 'iced' should be used around a President of the USA! ;o)

That could be OIL in that glass :-))

Or Texas tea!

I will take a PUNT and say it is oil in that glass. :-))

Your out of my RANGE now kimoldfield.

You'll have to look to your RESOURCES then DC!
