Up North

After much sulking and berating Gobby's lack of CD player and his inability to subject all passengers to constant bombardment by the musical phenomenon that is 'The Lancashire Hotpots' on the journey to his homeland, Billy Idle, Spudgirl and Tubthumper shoehorned themselves into Gobby's (aka Dorf the Dwarf - see October 2007) unfeasibly small vehicle for the purpose as they set off across the Pennines for much beery merriment at the Manchester Winter Ales Festival.

Although secretly pleased at being spared the lyrical wonderment of "Chippy Tea" it transpired that this mirth was to be short-lived as Gobby & Billy made the fatal error of delegating Spudgirl and Tubthumper to purchase beer absorbing sustenance for them all only to find them cowering in a corner of the canteen claiming,

"There's a menu up there but it's all in northern!!"

However, after many more pints were consumed all such north-south divide barriers were broken down with the fabulous four stumbling back to the hotel singing,


"Bitter, Lager, Cider, Ale Stout
Designer drinks, I'd rather drink nowt!
You can keep your white wine spritzer
Babycham, that's for your sister
Order that in Lancashire, son, and you're out!"
