bagels

(no subject)

I like Bagels. Beautiful, beautiful bagels. For I, in my hasty let's-just-chuck-stuff-in-backpack-half-an-hour-before-leaving-fae-the-train packing plan, forget one or two important things for uni and thus have popped home to get 'em. I am not here for the Internets, oh no. But bagels, yes! I like food when travelling. It is Nice. And I used to buy a baguette, but Ye Olde Bagueete Shop (um, Upper Crust, I think) shut for refurbishment in Teh Edinburger and thus I had to find another seller of foodstuffs. Bagels! They make the bagel! And toast it. And so many bagelly type bagels. And the staff are so much more lovely. They smile! And give you a wee card so that when you have bought ten bagels they give you a Free Bagel. Which will be the Bestest Bagel Ever. Cause it'll be free. I chose an Exciting New Variety of Bafel today with tuna and chilis and did not pick out the vegetables (am far too proud of this fact) and hot chocolate and it was delicious and lovely and a fabulous train trip. Until I got trainsick for the tuna mad me a bit nauseous but am attempting to overlook this fact and celebrate the yumminess of the bagel, yes. Bagel!

This was a post about Bagels.

Or, it was, one of the things I'd forgotten was me BBC Radio Collection o missing DW episodes. Got a couple more at Christmas and hadn't had a chance to listen to em yet. But, yes, I have a Good Feeling about this year, when I will Finally Complete the Collection, oh yes. Just The Chase and Planet of the Daleks left to find and then onto Radio Collecting, hurrah!

But, yes, so far on CD have Marco Polo, Galaxy Four, Myth Makers, Power of the Daleks, Enemy of the World and Dalek Masterplan. I know I've asked for recs before but should anyone wish to advise that any of the remainder are truly fabulous (um, again) please do. So far Myth Makers, and Power are winning as being Teh Best. Still.

I celebrate the bagel with you, because the coffeeshop where I like to lurk and write is, in fact, a coffee-and-bagel shop, and I had a lovely garlic bagel for lunch, with spinach and smoked turkey and tomato in it.

MMmm, bagelly goodness indeed!

...

I do not believe they have at Bagel Factory garlic bagels, forshame.

There is also that slightly amusing joke about bagels and seagulls. Sadly, I can't remember it.

Why are seagulls named after the sea?
Because otherwise they'd be called bay-gulls!

A-ha.

That's the one. I die laughing now.

Eee! A joke in me Inbox! It is as Joy! :D

Man walks into a bar and orders a pint and a packet of helicopter flavoured crisps.
Sorry, says the bartender, we only do plane.

He! It is a worser joke! ::JOY::

Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love, and get married. The
ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was brilliant.

I feel it only fair to warn you that I see no end in sight.

I have been away from my inbox and did not until this moment see this COMEDY GOLD. Dude. :D:D

I keep a word doc of all the wonderful jokes I come across. I adore silly jokes.

Oh noes! :(

"So far Myth Makers, and Power are winning as being Teh Best. Still."

Hurrah! Told you! And I'm extra happy as the first was Christmassy Gift, hurrah! :-D

What did you think of "Galaxy 4"? Out of the ones you've got it's the only one I didn't love. In fact, it's pretty dull. And childish without being childlike. And dull. And a bit duller.

Um, recommendations? "Macra Terror" is a good Troughton story. "The Massacre" (again) is a decent dramatic type one, and Steven gets a lot to do in it. Um... They're probably the best ones left.

Galaxy 4 is one o the ones I have not yet heard, yes. The Macra Terror it is next then! Want more Troughton.

Oh, and The Web of Fear, though it falls apart completely in episode 6, is rather good if you're listening to it in the dark. And it's the first story with Lethbridge Stewart, y'know.

I was going to get you Macra Terror for Xmas prezzie, but decided to go for mini Troughton instead... :-)

Yup, a second on The Macra Terror. The little jingles are worth the rest of the audio combined. :-)

I love Myth Makers and Power!

They are Squeeful Goodness, yes! :D

"To Europa, you appeared as a bull. To Leda, as a swan. To me, in the guise of an old beggar."

"I beg your pardon!"

:-D

I love on bagels too! They are truly a wonder of nature.

But I especially love the fact that you are Elaine about bagels and the free-tenth-bagel. You cannot comprehend how very Elaine you are because you do not have the Obsessive Elainelove but it is true. And it amuses me muchly.

But, yes. Bagels are shiny great. And not-picking-out-vegetables is an Achievement.

Ooh, is that Elaine-ish? I shall attempt to watch an episode of this 'Seinfield,' yes.

Yes! There is a whole episode where Elaine is on a mission to find her lost bagel card to get a free bagel! It makes me think of you whenever I see it.

OMG! I understand her PAIN!!

One of the famous local shops where I live is called Bagel Brothers, and they have every possible kind of bagel baked fresh right in front of you. Ah, bliss.

Joy, indeed! :D

they do not make the bagels in front of me in Edinburger, forshame.

Now I want bagels. It was all part of your evil plot, wasn't it?

Yes. Yes, it was. Please sned me one. Thank you. :p

I like cinnamon and raisin bagels. THe nicest one I ever had was a plain one bought from a really rather nasty looking curbside stall in New York.

Ooh, cinnamon! ::mad coveting::

They sell 'em in bags in Sainsburys. Good eating. Toast them and smother them in butter, and perhaps some honey.

...

...

I have no idea where there is a Sainsbury's in Edinburger. :frets: :(

you have the best icons evar!!

I can only conclude that you have not searched LJ hard enough. :p

But thank you kindly. :D

I've only ever had a bagel from Tesco. It was heavy and strange. I think there are better ways to be introduced to bagels. I might repeat the experiment.

Tescos, eh?

They are heavy, I think. For bread.

Oh, and I only need The Underwater Menace to complete my Original Series collection. You shall not win!!! Ahahhahahahaha!!!

....

If I can bring myself to fork out £12 for that rubbishy story.

...

I got the CD of "The Crusade" as an Xmas present. That's nice isn't it? And it's not as pointless as it seems (given that all four episodes are on the Lost in Time set) because now I have episodes 2 and 4 with *narration*! And "The Crusade" is a radio play, dammit! Like The Myth Makers and Marco Polo! It just *is*!

Yes, but the real competition is "Who has the biggest Dalek army?"

In other news, I, sadly, did not buy you an Inflatable Dalek but am also home so I can post what I did get you since I have stopped being useless and can now Do Stuff, yes. Joy! :D

Blimey! Stuff, eh?

I don't suppose you're sending yourself through the post? That'd be a nice surprise. ;-)

Pfft! I think not. I'd get all damaged.

Not if you go Premium Class!

And then I can open a box and you'll pop out and go "HALLO!!!" and we could watch Peter Cushing in a Hammer telly series being serious with Demholm Elliot and you could eat all my Christmas chocolate.
