What's Oppo eating?

Well it's 4:30am here in the U.K. but I work night shift and having one night off before going back in again isn't worth breaking the cycle (not that one exists even after 11 years) and so thought I'd grab something to eat and went with a slight American theme of mashed potato, black pepper onion rings Ribeye steak and peppercorn sauce washed down with a pint of ale (Old Speckled Hen, yep in a Guinness glass, yes I know how wrong that is to taint a Guinness glass with anything but Guinness).

Also a picture of my baby-girl, because why the hell not.

Not eating, but drinking. Also not my picture.

Just had two Cervelat hot dogs and some Badger Tangle Foot. She's looking good, I really wish we had Skodas here.

If you punch someone and knock them out, you must say "You've been Svended!!"

I made the mistake of taking a long nap in the early evening, so now it's almost 6 AM and I've yet to "go to bed". Just had a bowl of cereal and watched some youtube videos.

Wasabi Peas and a bottle of Dogfish Palo Santo Marron.

Cranberry and ginger sound interesting, though I'm not a fan of either but would try it to see what it was like.

That's a breakfast of champions right there. Also nice Skoda such a nice and simple design.

I had baked potato cheddar and bacon soup, biscuits, and homemade banana bread (with cranberries and butterscotch). Also some homemade chicken salad (the recipe on the Costco cans is actually excellent) and some veggie straws, which are addicting.

It's awesome. I've gone through three cases since it came out for the holiday season. I may have a problem.

Hot dogs and Badger Tangle Foot, great combo. I love my baby-girl but I think it'll be time in april to get the next one. Larger engine in the new facelifted style.

I had a 16 oz prime rib, loaded baked and a Caesar salad. Paired nicely with the Sam Adams Winter Lager. Now I'm enjoying a pipe and an Alaskan Winter Ale (srsly one of the better ales I've had) before stepping in to watch The Battle of the Five Armies

They are getting less and less simple design wise though. The Mk3 Superb is soon out and been seen testing.

You must of needed it though. Cereal and Youtube are good but you can get lost in time with Youtube and minutes can easily turn into hours.

I'm not much of a fighter and rarely even shout in anger. I hope I have the presence of mind to do that though should I ever get into a fight (and win) to say that though.

Yeah I've been exhausted from exams this week and not keeping a very good sleep schedule (although this definitely didn't help that). That's pretty much exactly what happened though, just kept frittering my time away with Oppo and youtube and other shit and all of a sudden it's the early morning. The sun should be coming out in a little while, but this city has so much damned light pollution it doesn't make much of a difference in terms of sleep.

That's quite a pallete right there. Good mix of vitamins and flavours.

Compared to a lot of things that is still a very clean design.

I'll have to see if I can find any this side of the pond to try.

I'll keep the C5 for a few more months, I don't mind the I4 and 4 speed auto, I do want a C6 if I can find one (there are 9 in the whole country). The C4 will be gone by january. Another Skoda?

Sounds legendary. I'd smoke a Henri Wintermans Deluxe Corona cigar but I don't smoke in the house and it's a tad nippy outside to stand for an hour.

If I can find Irn Bru here, you should be able to find some there.

Ye', another Skoda Superb estate. Wanting 1.8TSi (current is 1.4TSi), I'd like a 3.6V6 but they are only available in automatic and the way the U.K. government is starting to lean away from diesels, diesel is out also.

The Mk3 Superb disguised and semi un-disguised (though it'd have to be an estate rather then the hatchback for me).

Don't underestimate the love of Irn Bru drinkers to make sure they can get it everywhere.

I've still some Iron Brew WKD1 shots left on the table to drink.

They way Skoda's new styling cues goes the Mk3 Superb is going to look incredible. Skoda is my favorite of the VAG products, the lines are so clean.

They are looking quite a bit more Audi-esque to me.

They went from VW emulating Mk1 Superb.

Mk2 (Mercedes-esque).

Mk2 FL (Facelift) current model.

To leaning towards Audi for the Mk3. The Mk2 pre and post facelift are the best by far so I don't want them to go too far away from it.

I just really liked how the new Octavia looks, so sleek.

Audi has become a bit boring for me in recent years.

I will be looking for this at the store.

It's almost the end of the season, so you better hurry up!

The Octy looks good and the Superb is supposed to be leaning towards those looks.

The Rapid for me was a let down with it's tall rear end and small looking wheels that look a little too far forward and too small.

The Rapid Spaceback looks pretty good to me though but again looking a little too much Audi A3-ish.

I had a fairly mediocre takeout pizza, accompanied by some glass-bottled Coke, to compliment the night's three-man Star Wars marathon. It's now 06:46, I'm still awake, and I'm slightly concerned that tomorrow's follow-up McDonald's breakfast will be interrupted by my nose-diving into a McMuffin.

We generally do mediocre pizzas here unless you start adding to the toppings and adding extra cheese. Glass bottled coke is nice but our coke is too 'gassy' here where Italian, French and Spanish coke is just right.

I had a McMuffin a couple of weeks ago (okay, three of them) and each time I think never again, but then go for a while without and think 'I fancy a McMuffin this morning' and start the whole cycle again.

She's a 2013 registered Skoda Superb estate 1.4TSi petrol 6 speed manual.
