What are you eating and drinking tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Jim Beam Red Stag, on ice. Not a bourbon for the purist, but sweet Jesus I sleep well after a large one.

On the evening of Tuesday 1st October, the evening that we're away at Blackpool, I'll be taking one for the corporate team at Blackburn v Watford. As BWFC-I will doubtlessly attest, the nosebag will almost make it worth it. ;)
May the bridges I burn light your way

I didn't think Northcote were still doing the corporate stuff at Rovers?

Is that right? This is a disaster :shock:

I haven't been there on a corporate since the Alonso game.

Is it all Venky's processed chicken now? Have to say I was really surprised at Bob's comment because I know he can be a discerning fellow. Perhaps makes sense now.

I'll have to let you know how it goes. Dear me.

To be honest Bruce I'm not sure. I heard a while back that Nigel wasn't sure if they were still doing it, but perhaps that was resolved.

Says this on their site. Are they being purposely vague here?

It has stunning panoramic views of the pitch, and offers a warm welcome, mouth watering three course menu inspired by Michelin-starred chef Nigel Haworth and the extra touches that make every matchday special.

And that's the word that jumped out of that sentence like a line of Can Can dancers. Are you legally entitled to use the name of an individual in that context if he no longer has ties with the business? :?

He may well still be involved, if that is what they are saying. I mean I guess he was never actually cooking the food himself anyway!

I remember hearing that he did not know if the contract would be renewed but that was a year or two ago, so perhaps it was!

He may still be involved indeed. However, wouldn't you agree that the claim is at best a little ambiguous?

Well ... LAST night I ate at an Indian in Cardiff Bay and was astonished. Called Moksh, it offered high quality and many things I'd never seen before on a menu. Well worth searching out. It may be a chain as there are others around the country with the name ;

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Off out for a meal with the family to celebrate a birthday this evening, probably going to get a Carvery!

have pallied up the applewood smoke-flavoured cheddar with a few of those Hovis digestive crackers and a glass of red wine - awesome! perfect antidote to a mind-numbingly tedious and pointless meeting...

Went to Wetherspoons last night, well I am staying in a Wetherspoons hotel after all, and it turns out Wednesday nights are now Chicken Club! Have a roast chicken and chips w/ pint only £5.99. No discernable difference in quality between it and Nando's chicken, so good value really!
