    So here I am stuck on the train with nothing to do but poke fun and I find one of my fellow train buddies (complete drunken stranger) in distress, here he is with a cold bottle of beer and now means to open said cool refreshing brev

    This poor chap looks over at me as I take another large lip smacking slurp of Guinness and asks with longing hope and a little despair

    "do you have a bottle opener?"

    Why yes my weary traveller friend, what sort? I reply

    Q much puzzled and slightly afraid looks as I produce an array of alcoholic enabling devices from my soggy bag :lol:

    He's happy now as he sips his beer but I detect I slight unrest - perhaps I should take my hand off his knee :shock:

    PS. Is it weird to be carrying an assortment of cocktail instruments in a saddle bag?

    So, I had a couple of beers with Mr Boffin and the PF, promiscuous lady that she is, conferred her affections upon me, leaving a present to find in the morning.

    that's what happens if you drink with itb, the PF will notice you

    that and it was sh!tting it down and that always increases the chance of getting deflated

    PS. Is it weird to be carrying an assortment of cocktail instruments in a saddle bag?

    Not weird, almost essential !
    I found myself in beer-deprived distress the other week, on the train back from Eastbourne. I'd just cycled the South Down's Way, and had procured a bottle of beer to make the long train journey home more bearable. I settled into my seat, produced my beer, opened my bag....and realised that rather than bring the usual bunch of keys that has my bottle-opener keyring on it, that comes *everywhere* with me, I'd saved weight by just bringing the essential keys :shock:

    No worries, I thought, I have a comprehensive toolkit....
    .
    .
    ...and then I remember that my multi-tool had escaped somewhere on the trail after I'd stupidly left my saddlebag open.

    I was starting to get worried now - I had the long-anticipated beer in my hand, but my teeth aren't up to chewing open bottles, nor could I devise a way to open it using duck tape, inner tubes and cable ties. I was thinking longingly about bike frames with bottle-opener dropouts, so went to my bike in search of inspiration, realised that the stiff, almost-unopenable seatclamp could be my salvation....and voila, beer opened 2 seconds later.

    Unfortunately I'd had to run for the train, so the beer was a bit lively - apologies to South West trains for the small spillage. It was *beer* so I obviously didn't spill it deliberately !

    It was a shocker out here in the sticks last night on top of the down pour one of my considerate local farmers choose yesterday to cut the bushes back along a 5 miles stretch of lane, now I don't know if you've ever seen one of those tractor attachments but I can tell you the resulting debris left on the road is enough to make the PF pee her pants.
