The XYY Man Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Upex pies Monkeyman? If we're talking steak and kidney, then yes indeed 007. But if the subject is pork pies, then it's Morrells of Hartlepool every time. Is your LL hot and prone to walking around nude with the curtains open? If Mrs XYY is reading this then no, of course not. But if it's just between us...? Well let's just say that I certainly wouldn't climb over her to get to you mate...!!!

spyguy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 When I was still eating meat, it used to be Pork Pies from Ruswarp only. Each to their own Id guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The XYY Man Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 When I was still eating meat, it used to be Pork Pies from Ruswarp only. Each to their own Id guess. I will try and sample these Ruswarpian pies at my earliest convenience. Hopefully they are Yorkshire/North-Eastern style porkers with the light pastry and plenty of jelly between the meat and the pastry. Can't stand any of that lardy brown Melton Mowbray shite...!

spyguy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Oh they are proper. You're lucky. You can hop on a train, change at 'boro, trundle down the EskValley, stop off, get hammered, go to butchers, then be back home. They've done a good job on opening up the path at the side of railway. Easy walk from Ruswarp down to Whitby. Best bit of town is under the old viaduct - Look at my brick arch, ye mighty, and despair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could simply steer the yacht youve just stolen from Scaramanga into Hartlepool marina and make the 10 minute walk/pilgrimage to their shop in York Road. The home of a truly exceptional Northern-style pork pie - and guaranteed to put any veggie poofter secret-agent back on the right path...

spyguy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Best pies Henry Ford's in Glaisdale. Absolutely stunning. Their own meat too. Found a short documentary on them.... https://vimeo.com/17687313 Ha! Marra makes the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyguy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 That is quite a coincidence because I'm walking along there this week with a couple of mates. Starting at Clay Bank Top staying at the Red Lion at Blakey before coming down to the valley and ending up at Whitby. Going along the Esk is the best way into Whitby. Top of the moors is pretty desolate - and you have to watch out for morons on the Guisboro Rd. The Esk Valley, from Castleton down, has its own micro-climate. When its sunny the place is like a Rain forest - incredibly green. From Grosmont down, the Esk is wide and slow, its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porca misèria Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Our landlady is going through a divorce, and needs to move back into the house we've rented off her since 2012. She gave us notice to quit in March. Just realised. You're well out of order there. That is not inconsequential. Even if you only have to move next door!

It's a fair cop you got me with there porky - the amount of "computer says no" shit that moving next-door has thrown-up while changing my address with various utility companies has certainly not been inconsequential. Mind you - the bonus of not paying for a removal-van, and the lack of any requirement to re-direct the post have just about made it worth the hassle...!

The XYY Man Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 While watching a documentary about the history of boxing today, I learned an inconsequential thing that pleased me mildly. Joe Frazier fancied himself as a singer as well as a boxer, and when he wasn't getting brayed in the ring by George Foreman, he fronted the legendary turn "Joe Frazier And The Knockouts". Featuring an all-female group of backing-singers no less...! XYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CunningPlan Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Barry McGuigan fancied himself as a bit of a singer. Went to a charity function years ago. We were on the table nearest the stage. The whole thing had over-run by an hour or more so just as Barry came on stage we had to depart to get the last train home. He had probably sung the first three lines of a song when I had to get up and leave the room. Proper scary. Can't say if he was any good as a warbler.
