Jesus Christ,the big dog has arrived lol.I can knock up a very nice stir fry,learnt how to do so while living in HK BUT……..We are going out to lunch,and I am only eating once a day,I might do it one day next week (or I might not) I will certainly show you how to cook a salmon in September,how’s that?
-
The kitchen hasn’t been used in a while,far too complex,dishwashing and all that jazz,what are you eating today,owt nice?
-
Where’s Mrs Charts been,anywhere nice?You meeting up with LDR?
-
You know that beautiful garden you worked on a few weeks ago,why didn’t the owner maintain it himself?I can’t cook Michelin star scran,but I can afford to pay someone to serve me a plate up,there endeth the sermon.
-
Just remembering people mate,no more no less.People who ventured abroad with dreams and aspirations that didn’t pan out for whatever reasons,met lots of them along the road.
-
Sometimes have avocado on toast with a drizzle of honey.I only eat once a day now so normally have a substantial mid day meal and always try and include olives,if you pay the piper you call the tune,olives for the win.
-
Olives with everything,I mean EVERYTHING.
-
f***ing hell,that’s high praise from you,you feeling alright?What about the olives?Steak is Kobe A5 melt in the mouth succulent,that 15% off sealed the deal.

I remember reading about French indochina while still at school,the entire continent of Asia fascinated me as a small boy.

I spent time in that buffer zone,good times.

I stayed in the old Russian embassy turned into a hotel in Kashgar,the great game played out in that general region.

Your not going to make money renting,last two years since getting the keys on a place abroad we have made a pound or two on it and spent six months of each year living in it.

I was hospitalised once with amoebic dysentry,I can empathise.
-
Thank you Mel,I get the feeling your a man of taste,style and good breeding.Fear not for me good sir,for I have found a solution to my problems,I shall not starve.

I ain’t inventing nothing lol,an ex immigration officer told me that in his last year working at Heathrow he met two asylum seekers he genuinely thought were legit but the rest were shaky,you don’t believe,that’s your prerogative,cool with me.
-
That’s quite naive to be honest.
-
How and where do you return someone to who has no passport?Do you genuinely understand how difficult it is?Have you seen how many immigration offices are close to Heathrow or why Eaton house the big immigration centre is right under the flight path?Your simplifying it.
-
I know exactly where I am going to start and finish the trek.
-
No problem if you find it hard to believe,I think it’s 70+% lose their passport between their departure country and arriving at Heathrow?Look how many are still in the UK after several appeals.It’s wet feet dry feet,when your in your in.
-
I don’t think I can take a chef with me,and my lady is worried,but I will struggle manfully on ‘Arry I won’t complain.

20+ years ago a hijacked plane filled with passengers landed at stanstead,about a dozen years back one of the Afghan hijacker’s was found working in Heathrow with an airside pass. I live exceptionally close to Heathrow airport and know a lot of airport staff,I chatted to a retired immigration officer recently,he told me in his final year working at Heathrow he met TWO asylum seekers he were genuine,only two,he said the system is FUBAR.
-
Sad times eh?I am going to be eating trail mix and granola bars soon (though I do know a restaurant in Chamonix that serves fresh lobster and oysters)so trying to wean myself off nice food,fasting for the rest of the day.
