What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Indeed. I'll just stick with the ones that I pick up at the butchers.

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, I can tell you what I'll be eating tomorrow evening

• Morecambe Bay Potted Shrimps with Blade Mace Butter & Toasted Muffin
• Ribble Valley Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Horseradish Mash & Seasonal Vegetables
• Steamed Chocolate & Orange Pudding with Chocolate Sauce
• Coffee & Mints

I'd ask LK what 'blade mace butter' is, if he wasn't just some random bloke on a footie forum.

[Lord Kangana]

Mace is normally one of the spices you put in butter for potting shrimp (usually also includes orange, and some other stuff i can't remember).

No idea what Blade Mace is, unless its unground?

I googled it:

Turns out I actually have some of this in my possesion. Methinks its just a poncey way of saying mace. A bit like that chemist down in London pronouncing Pulmo Bailly. You had to be there (say it like its French) I nearly cried.....

Cheers, LK, although I hadn't bargained on having tear gas for dinner. Still, it is in Blackburn.

this lunchtime I was mostly eating a rather fantastic winter root vegetable and pearl barley soup that I made last night.... yum!

This lunchtime I had the remains of my wife's home made Meat and Potato pie.

This is what I first skimmed from your post.


Look on the bright side, that would easily have challenged sir nut for post of the century.

Behave. I've posted some rubbish before but even I'm not in his class.

is that your wife's half-eaten pie - or the remains of a pie that your wife made? (either sounds good!)

It's the pie my wife made, the remains of which I consumed readily, having ingested a goodly proportion two days hence.

you have consumed a goodly portion in two days time? are you Doc Brown?

One definition of hence is: 'From this place; away from here: Get you hence!'

It could be argued it doesn't state in which direction. So ''two days hence'' could mean two days ago too.

I am of course clutching at grammatical straws, but I know I'm already losing the battle. You S.O.B.

[thebish]

I prefer the Doc Brown solution - with the magic car - than the slightly tenuous grammatical one!

I'll consider that a concession.

Kind off, Boris. We (work team) are at a Chamber of Commerce awards dinner being held at Ewood - Northcote are doing the catering. I thinks it's possibly the first time ever that I've spent the week looking forward to going there.

Delighted to hear it (seriously).
