    Forgive me for stating the obvious but if you actually bothered to read the section where I posted you will see that it falls under 'General Talk'. That's why I'm posting here. And as far as I can make out, it's set a good topic of discussion, even if there are some whom think they know better than the rest. Ok, I lied, there's only one. And sorry my old mate, it ain't you.

    But do you know what language it is written in? Sadly, this is only apocryphal. It was his reply when asked in an interview, what he would like his headstone to say. Brilliantly displays his fabulous wit, mind ! It really does say it that on hs headstone. It's written it Gaelic. Doh! For anyone who has the inclination to see it for themselves he's buried in Winchelsea church yard. And it's hard to make out the inscription as the lettering is failry small for the style. I went to check it out when I was down there the other year.

    Over the years ive often observed from a distance people who will eat in a posh restaurant dressed up to the nines,talking down to staff,engaging in " look how well im doing " conversations so anyone in earshot can be so impressed,picking holes in everything........................then leave and get into their crappy Ford Mondeo leaving everyone in the restaurant whispering about what a shower of c**ts they were. Its a way for them to " rise above " their usual level even if just for a short time before returning to the norm. Alternatively,a bunch of roughly spoken,slightly loud and aggre

    Who's scrutinising the bill? Do you never check to make sure that you are paying for what you've ordered and eaten/drank? There's been many a time when I've found soething on the bill that shouldn't be on there. I am polite and I know how to behave in a classy restaurant but this wasn't a classy restaurant. It's a pub that's climbed up its own backside and pretending to be something it's not. You're not only paying for the food, you do also pay for the service. The tip is meant to make up their wages but if I'm eating in a joint that says 'We are shit hot come and eat here!' then I would exp

    Aye but when you've got more money than a "coo can shite" you tend not to worry about it,,,,,,, Nothing to do with money its about manners................if you have to scrutinise a bill you should of gone to Mcdonalds where the prices are on the wall !....If you dont like it dont go back............ Going to a brass is a service but you still have to pay the agreed price even if its shit..........you just dont go back....apparently Just so I'm understanding this correctly, please humour me here for a moment. Going by your logic, and it sounds like you eat out a lot, you never ever loo

    Mrs M's youngest and eldest called by yesterday morning to do the dutifuls. They also said they were taking her out to a nice restaurant (one we haven't been to before) and I was welcome to tag along (thanks for the invite and making me feel welcome). We were delighted to see that wild boar was on the mains. Mrs M chose it for her main. I asked the waiter how it was served as it wasn't detailed on the menu which I thought was strange. Thinking it would be either a loin which was seared and sliced or even a few slices from a roasted leg but was surprised to learn that it was shredded. I

    you should see my spotted dick I'm sure that should be my line. Anyhow, perhaps you'll permit me to grace it with a little of my own custard? Does that sound wrong?

    A current favourite of mine has got to be from JFK's moon speech - 'We choose to do these things, not because they are easy but because they are hard! Because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because the challenge is one we are willing to accept.' That's my Crossfit mantra. There are plenty of good one liners from the Dirty Harry films as well. Too many to quote on here though.

    I have to say that is some damn fine looking cooking you got there Mrs. I just hope my wife doesn't find out I've been ogling another womans Victoria sponge and millionaire's shortbread

    I don't tend to bother either. Too much of a hassle and seeds are fairly cheap if you look around. The other thing is the seeds you're buying have been treated or selected so as to minimise things like pests and diseases and other things like bolting (going to seed early) or as a previous post said you can get cross pollination which can really mess things up. I know you can't or rather shouldn't bother with saving seeds from a plant that you've harvest which is an F1 hybrid as the seed won't be like the parent plant. The parent plant is the hybrid and it's 'offspring' will be like the gran

    This is meant to be a scaled down quotation but it didn't quite work. I'll look in to it but in the meantime please carry on as normal. A quote from I LOVE KENT - This won't happen over night but this is the root we are taking and we hope over a few years we can push this Show back to where it should be, with the support of the trade and public alike! - End quote. Ok, this may come across as a bit of bashing but I need to have answers to these questions, seeing as you're putting yourself up there. So, here's my beef. I don't suppose you'll be doing the same with entrance fees? I'm curi

    Eh? So you're the bugger that's been spying on me through the crack in the fence down my back passage are you? I'll be keeping my eye on you, so you just watch it! And what do you know about my tuber collection that that look like various body parts? Have you been fumbling around in my shed too? You cheeky blighter, I'll set the dogs on you. And pop a cap in your ass with my blunderbuss! (By the way, did you see that Dahlia tuber that looks like a small pair of monkey bollocks? PMSL when I saw that one.). (That should irk the mods) Lol.

    got chicken house in back of van,but may have another lined up that has a run with it. tumble dryer sheared its drum off this morning so after i went an bought another,i pulled the drum out the old one,and will drill a few holes in it,to make a fire pit/waste incinerator. you can tell im getting into this cant you That's a novel ideal. I'll keep an eye out for an old washing machine. I don't think Mrs M would be too happy if I sabotaged her washing machine. For the record, I have in my potting shed the following seeds sown. Broad beans, peas, red onion (a variety I haven't seen before

    You should try growing from seed. Mrs M & I always grow ours from seed. They crop just as good as sets do, possibly better. They seem to store better too. We only grow red onions and until this year we've always goe for Red Baron. This year we're trying a different variety, some Italian seed, can't remember the name of them off the top of my head but I put them into seed trays nearly 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for them to germinate. Trouble is it's been so freakin' cold, nothing wants to grow yet. Same with my broad beans, peas, leeks and other bits. I'm hoping they wont rot i

    Thank you for the warm welcome guys. I can see that Cliff Ray and I are on a similar wave length. The only question is are we at polar opposites or are we sinnging from the same hymn sheet? On that note, I torn between doing paperwork ready for when the book keeper comes in on Monday or going to the cinema on my own like a proper Billy No-Mates and see a flick? I actually like the latter as you don't get any kids ponving around. Christ, I must be getting old!

    My favourite dish is a rabbit & chorizo risotto. I generally use the loins and meat off the back legs and cut them into neat little chunks. Get some chorizo sausage, any kind as you'll dice it up into smallish chunks. Heat some oil in a pan and cook the rabbit and chorizo together (hot and fast) until the rabbit takes on some colour. You can add a little sherry or other fortified wine for a bit of Spanish authenticity.. Reduce and remove from the pan to rest. Add a little more oil to the pan, enough to cover the bottom. Take a large onion, half it and slice it finely. Sweat

    :stupid: Just how I do them. I can't be arsed to mess around with the little bit of meat you get off the front legs. And the price of gas these days...? 2 - 2.5 hours boiling? It would be cheaper to get the chicken fillets. I digressed and watched the 'Bear Grylls kills a rabbit like a Boss' videon after that one. He might be good but I'll bet my bile duct that rabbit was tethered. Either that or it had mixie. ;yes:

    Have a look here - http://wildesyde.co.uk/?cat=110 They have a list of wild/exotic meat dealers. I thought for a moment it was a place in Stonegate, East Sussex but it's not. I wouldn't mind trying Alligator or something of that ilke. I like Conger. Nice and meaty, and pretty tasty too.

    G'day Folks, I've just registered after completeing a somewhat tedious registration process. After being asked 'What colour is the sky?' I looked outside and then entered grey, as it's raining here. The system didn't like that so it prompted for another question. This time it asked me 'What colour are most trees leaves?' Tempted to put red or gold, I refrained and put green even though its the chlorophyll that is green and not the leaves themselves. Maybe I should get out more and not be so pedantic. Or maybe the questions should just be worded better. That aside, I'd like to intro
