  1. In the interests of research I have just had lunch in The Good Earth in Esher high street,beloved by Chelsea football players and celebrities,very good English versions of Chinese food easily up to mC HULL standards.
  2. Story of my life,I loved that film.
  3. It sank two years ago. There's a much smaller floating Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam off to the left of central station near the doubletree Hotel, it's OK but not in the same league as the Hong Kong one was.
  4. Sounds like the one in Aberdeen that sank a few years ago.
  5. Interesting, what's the story behind the Geordie stag.......... You know?

    Fentanyl

    I chatted with a couple of fentanyl addicts earlier this year in LA,they call them zombies,Mexico is churning it out with precursors from China and shipping it north.
  7. First meal I ever ate in China, very first one.
  8. Uncle Alan? Probably manila, Boracay, and if they are exceptionally lucky el nido.
  9. Tell him to go to the gallera in mandaue on Sunday for the cockfighting.
  10. I know more about the Philippines,and have been to more of the islands than 99.9% of Filipinos,I have a magic changing room remember?
  11. Any idea where in Cebu mate, mactan? Moalboal? Decent enough island but a couple of hours away by boat is a place called bohol, some superb beaches just outside the main city tagbilaran,
  12. My mate did one in the carribean proved quite expensive as he lost £10k in the casino.
  13. Full month in the Philippines Dan? Manila is a total shithole,I am assuming they visited Boracay, maybe palawan, where else mate?
  14. Try some apps, I remember watching series 1 on Beetv? Slow burner, only a few good scenes that carry the film, watchable though.
  15. I would devour that,looks spot on.
  16. Is that “Birdseye potato waffles,waffle versatile,grill em,bake em,fry em,eat ‘em waffle versatile” under the beans?
  17. I am 20 minutes away from Wraysbury lake,that area and across to Iver used to have a load of purported black panther sightings,dubbed the beast of Berkshire.
  18. Sadly I am skint,normal fare is far more plebeian.
  19. Should have went in,on the bath road.Had some friends from Sunderland down once,they were working on construction sites in London,i said get whatever you want on the menu,one said “Do they have curry and chips?”.
  20. It’s Asian fusion,normally I judge an Asian resto in the UK by the amount of Asians eating in it,there’s a Chinese resto near Heathrow called London Hong Kong on the bath road,always packed with Chinese so you know the food is up to spec.Ivy Asia in Chelsea is a little different,not so many Asians but great ambiance and a place to people watch.
  21. It’s a bed,crumpled sheets,rubbish scattered around,that’s the “art”,the whole bed.
  22. Eggs royale for breakfast.
  23. Ivy Asia Chelsea,the food is perfect,but it’s about more than that,it’s the experience,where else will a samurai warrior greet you with “Konichiwa” as you piss in a urinal?
  24. One of my sons is up in ontario at the moment,his young lady sent me this pic of him.
