The Knotty Monk is lovely. The food seems to be of the same quality. The atmosphere is very nice, though a bit noisy and not as homey as the Yard. They also have Newcastle on tap, which is wonderful. All in all, it's appeal, it being so close to me, and Jer and Rie being right there.. it's gonna be trouble.
Also trouble; being able to do speeds like 100mph/160kph and not be phased or even realize you're going that fast. Now I need a car with good enough handling to do power slides at that speed.
