Deutschland Veggie Special ! German Tour Blog

Glauben ist alles meine freunden !

How's it goin' ? I'm very well, thank you. Couple of nights down in Germany, let's see how we did.

It was fantastic to return to Zeven, great to see a couple down for soundcheck in their Peace, Love & Tea-shirts, and a bunch of local press for some interviews and photos, good to feel welcome in the north west of Germany before I'd even played a note. You Beautiful Souls !

So we had to wait for Hertha Berlin vs. Schalke 04 to finish on the big screen before I could play my show, first of the Glaben Ist Alles tour, and 'Belief Is All' went down extremely well, much much much singing along and a great mix of people.

On the political front, most folks were in agreement that Britain would be better off "out" of the EU, and one chap told me that, in as many words, "he may not have done everything right, but Adolf Hitler did build great stadiums!" ... I have little to no opinion on these things, just thought it would be humorous to bring to your attention ! It reminds you of the joke "you f*ck one goat!!?!!" ...

Anyways, top times, the staff remembered my preference for tea with "the cow's milk" in abundance, and I enjoyed a mind blowing veggie pizza, broccoli, sweetcorn, fresh tomato and fresh made pizza dough, Ja ! So, onto Cuxhaven, by the seaside in the very north of the country, as in the North Seas, as in, the same one we have in Skeg and Grimsby ...

It was nice to climb a dune and see the sea, hit some top speeds on the autobahn, Fatboy Slim, Derek & The Dominoes, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones really work well flying down there, and one you might want to Google search Reverend Cleatus' 'The Slip' ... thank me later !

The show itself was great, lovely seaside folks, an encore that turned into a 45 minute soulmuzik session ! 'Play The Game' provided a particularly enjoyable sing-a-along.

The night's veggie option - pictured below - an extremely weak perfumed tea mitt milch (cafe cream) a small bowl of peanuts, and a glass of bread sticks, apologies I didn't try the local beer and wurst Janja, I'm sure they're both fabulous.

Transmission End. Live Long. Thanks for reading ...

Things I Like ... McVitie's Biscuits



So, I'm home for one more day, and it's raining. So I'm sat inside with a cup of Yorkshire Tea and a selection of McVitie's biscuits, really getting back to my youth. Like everything I write about on this 'ere Things I Like ... feature on my blog, McVities ties in with the formative years of my life, hold keys to the nature of the universe and I love the company, their products and their history.

As with the LEGO and Yorkshire Tea, there's a tiny part of me that believes I shouldn't be all for advertising companies but, what can I say? They're engrained in my lifestyle, my culture, my history and my narrative, and I don't think they do any harm on the grand scale. So, let's have a look shall we, McVities is a British company, if that means anything to you, still based in Britain, and whilst they're now a subsidiary of United Biscuits the company, their products haven't changed. I've always admired the fact that the Milk Chocolate Digestives come in a brown packet ... brown?? And they still sell, that's a quality product right there !

The staple products have been a staple part of my life and diet since I was a little 'un - Mini Cheddars, Rich Tea, Milk Chocolate Digestives, Jaffa Cakes, Hob Nobs and Penguins - the only real newcomer to suitably impress is the Milk Chocolate Caramel biscuit, although I think that can't be a healthy biscuit, I just admire it's capacity to sustain it's rigid internal and external structure after dipping in your tea for upwards of 20 minutes, me and my best mate Chris have tested it, maybe not scientifically but we eat a lot of biscuits and drink a lot of tea !

Also, every one of their products is suitable for vegetarians so they're a great compliment to all the fruit and veg I get through, and it's nice to know that you don't have to search the packet for a little V logo to know, you just instinctively know.



And whilst I don't own a TV, I happened across the latest adverts, and they are the cutest things I've ever seen, you had me at cats ...

And I guess I'll leave you on a McVities biscuit related bit of music trivia, Noel and Liam Gallagher's mum Peggy used to work in the McVities factory in Manchester, and bring home all the broken biscuits and reject to the boys, which Noel would then take into school. It did make him very popular, but also earned him the nickname "Gallagher The Biscuit" ...

Peace, Love & Tea, MHx

PS. Don't blame it on the biscuits ...
