What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Not tonight. Next home game though definately. Maybe a run in the morning around the Jumbles to justify it.

Is the Dyson still in the hallway by the gents?

Brilliant. Cardiff on the 3rd Nov. A run around the Jumbles would be ace. Narr then, the hallway's gone; I've no idea where they keep it now

Sounds good - will PM nearer the time. Perhaps we can get the sardine muncher out too.

We'll get him out for a pint, for sure; but not for the run.

We tend to use them for other things to be honest. You'll find, rightly or wrongly, that fine dining mantra dictates that they are looked down upon as not being refined enough. And lots of people don't like them. And they cook at different rates. So the most expedient course, after weighing all that up, is to leave them off.

Number 2 is correct. Have a Little Chef lolly.

why, thankyou sir! don't mind if I do!

[boltonboris]

Is the roe the pinky orange bit?

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Had a bottle of Three Choirs Annum (made in Gloucestershire) on friday night with some scallops and Merguez sausage. Top stuff.

Also had the pleasure of few Tim Taylor's Landlord over the weekend at the No Name. Beltin.

Chef - tell me now. I love scallops to be served with their roe. Why is this no longer an option in restaurants?

Just been in the No Name for a few TT Landlord. As you say, beltin'.

I shall be trying that shortly. How's the refurb?

The refurb's OK. There's only so much that they can do with the place though. They really need to put an extractor in the gents though. They've bricked up the windows and tiled over them, so they fecking stink. What time are you going in? There's a bird singing tonight. I'm tempted to meet you for a pint but I'm half cut.

That stink got worse after you left Bruce...didnt help there was piss all over the floor, either leaking toilet or bad aiming...but its not good is it!

[Bruce Rioja]

Dear me. Well I'd hate to go in after someone's nipped in for a Barry White.

[William the White]

Tonight turned out to be - on the basis of what was in the fridge... Asparagus soup... mixed root veg roasted (in this case: one turnip, four little past it carrots, half a swede and two parsnips). wife bought two bream on the way home from yoga. I cooked all... It was all right really... Nowt more...

[thebish]

another whole packet of butterscotch angel delight... heaven!

(bit bloated now as I scoffed a Veg Thali first!)

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Big bowl of chilli & rice, and some red wine, last night.

Perfect nearly-winter tea

all you need is the butterscotch angel delight for pudding - and it'd be perfect!!

Hey dont bring me down to your level, fatty

[thebish]

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Pudding? I never ever ever have pudding !

[thebish]

Pudding? I never ever ever have pudding !

not really a proper tea then! that's only half a tea!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Should i make a starter too, maybe some hors 'douevres and sorbet in between courses ??

Hmm well as a man appraoching 40 and carrying a little bit extra timber these days, i'm not sure introducing daily puddings into my diet is the way forward

I can tell you from experience that dropping a few extra pounds is not easy. It took me months to drop from eleven to ten stone and I celebrated with extra soup (repeat: extra SOUP - Heinz cream of tomato, 1 can thereof). This led to the downward slippery slope of little extras such as horse's hoofs and withinin days [might even have been hours] I'm now back up to 10st 4½lb. Beware the oodles of pud.

Whats your ideal weight? 10st would seem a bit light to me but depends on your shape and height i suppose.
