Re: General Chit Chat
Haha! That’s fantastic Tango. Before we had children a neighbours kid knocked on the door and asked us if Milo could come out to play (Milo was our dog!)TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:34 amThere is some good left in the world that can raise a smile/laugh.
My wife is great with kids (we have half-a-dozen great grandchildren so she has had plenty practise) and all kids relate to her. Last night there was a knock on our door about 9-0'clock, and three of our neighbour's children from next door, and next door but one, were outside; two are seven and one six years old. The six year old girl asked if my wife wanted to go out and play. My wife is 76 and on a walking stick. At the time she was in dressing gown, pyjamas and slippers etc. Just then the little girls mother came to call them in and we all had a real good laugh at the beauty of innocence. I'm still grinning at the mental picture it provoked. Kids, don't you just love em..
My 6 year old woke me up this morning by telling me he would miss me when I die

Don’t dislike anyone enough to do that! What about the Arsenal ticket I gave you the other week? Did I ever tell you….?Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 12:13 pmJust don’t buy me Arsenal tickets at the moment.

When do you start as the new HH Sainsbury’s trolley collector?
Oof! Brutal! Remind me not to get on your wrong side again!
I’ll definitely not want to be on your wrong side when you get your ‘underwear for fatties’ on and have taken your viagra! I’ll want to be as far away as possible. Perhaps I’ll hide behind Mrs BP in her new women’s lingerie, complete with leather straps/chains leading to a collar and similar suspenders.
BP claims his Facebook ads are not linked to his internet viewing history…
We both know that you and Mr GG have been hacking my FB account. Birthday presents should be easier, now that I know what the pair of you are into.

Re: General Chit Chat
Did my good deed for the day this morning. Was on my way to work and there was a little elderly dog running about in the road near the school I work at. No sign of an owner. Another lady helped me catch him and I took him into school and the headteacher (big dog lover) was able to track down the owner who lived locally (he had escaped out of their house) and they were reunited! Love a happy ending!

Re: General Chit Chat
Had my flu-jab yesterday. No ill effects so far apart from feeling cold last night. Had both Covids already, so only a booster left then I'll be available for selection for the Whites and Strictly Come Dancing..

Re: General Chit Chat
Just stumbled across a restaurateur on twitter called Salt Bae. Serves massively overpriced steaks in some sort of bizarre performance art style dressed like a Bond villain.
Absolute nonsense and proper emperor's new clothes territory. Genuine congratulations to him for fleecing londoners with more money than sense. Man's a genius!

Re: General Chit Chat
Wraps cuts of meat (and other stuff) in gold leaf and charges hundreds, thousands even, of pounds for it. Some knobbers managed to spend something like £38K on a meal there, and if you're ordering three bottles of 2016 Petrus then you will do. Some of the indignation in the article I read was related to an £11 can of Red Bull. What kind of utter bellend drinks Red Bull with a meal?LeverEnd wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 12:47 pmJust stumbled across a restaurateur on twitter called Salt Bae.

Also, I've been wracking my brains, what was that drink called which used to leave bits of gold leaf in your pooh? I imagine that wrapping your steak in gold will have an identical effect.

Bruce, assuming you haven't seen it given LE mentioned that Salt Bae bell end, think you'll enjoy this...

Re: General Chit Chat
i nearly ended up in there in London the other week looking for somewhere to have a works meal out for a few of us. Menu had no prices on it, which was my cue to swerve it. Apparently the standard burger is 100 sheets, and if you so desire you can pay 1,500 english pounds for a gold-wrapped tomahawk steak.
Can't fault the guy for milking an audience that are happy to suck it up. Apparently its heaving all the time.....

That Nusr Et / Salt Bae guy has restaurants all over the gaff now. Worth about £100m!
As said previously; fair feck*

Had the Pfizer mRHA booster jab a few weeks ago, all's well except for this bloke called Bill who keeps whispering in my head bollocking me for using google not Microsoft.

Bloody hell I could have supplied a better one than that.
Is it some sort of message about climate change?
