  1. Nice bit of ham, pease puddin' and a stottie. Proper nom nom in my book. I need to calm down now, starting to think non-dull thoughts of pease puddin'.
  2. I went out for tea tonight, to the Motorist about 20 miles from Leeds. Fish and chips (pre seasoned chips, or more accurately, fries) and a sort of Bakewell tart with Bourbon custard On the way out, I bought some of Top Gear's very own, Mr Clonkson's, Hawkstone IPA. Well, why not, I thought, he needs the money. ...and on the way home I found my Jaaaag was quicker in a straight line than a Taycan with the big, faster battery (not the full Turbo S though). Although, the Taycan driver said he could not only hear my car, but could smell the unburnt fuel too Anyhoo, if anyone is in the area and fancies a cuppa, pastry, or even a meal I can recommend it. Nice venue. Some interesting cars inside and masses of gifts for petrol heads (could sort out a lot of Christmas presents for the right types) and a lot of booze. Even James May's 'Asian Parsnip Gin' is stocked Lots of hot wheels and such like too. In the car park there were a couple of Lambos, a Ferrari, a Bently, several Porsches and a rather nice Jaaaaaag F Type it was only a wet Wednesday night, so not a proper 'meet' as such. They open Weekends and Wednesday night as a rule, but check their events calendar for other times and specific events. Oh and it's not the sort of place where stupid brain-dead morons go and rev the nuts of their engines with 'pops and bangs' remaps, quite the opposite in fact. Lots of signs saying slow down and other grown up things like that Disclaimer: acceleration testing was done nowhere near the venue 😛
  3. I like Pease Pudding
  4. I misunderstood your post I now realise you were talking about the impact (only a small spoiler)
  5. Oh, there will be Lurpak, plenty of Lurpak
  6. Wow, dull and a bit complacent. Top redemption post after your borderline interesting stuff a few days ago. Welcome back (but not in a too enthusiastic way) I am already thinking about having crumpets and jam for breakfast tomorrow
  7. I don't own a slash hook
  8. I've enjoyed the show, but it dragged in places, I felt. Still, it is a massive tale to tell and easily rivals 'Foundation' and the 'Dune trilogy' in its scope. It will be interesting to see if Netflix continues with the 2nd and 3rd books, as they cost a small fortune to make into a tv show if they wish to do the trilogy justice.
  9. It was OK. It didn't shock me and certainly didn't have the 'horror' vibe the ship and the nanotubes had, at least to my eyes. The ship scene was pretty gratuitous and graphic for a streaming show, I thought. Overall, the episodes have been a bit hit and miss. Sometimes exciting, sometimes just introspective naval gazing, I felt.
  10. I made a mistake. I wasn't on episode 8, I will try to catch up now and see it before bebos
  11. Not had pud yet. Will update later when I can move easily again
  12. I keep forgetting to take a photo before diving into my nosebag and nom nom nom nomming. I could take a photo of the plate after the meal, but I've done such a good job of clearing it, I didn't even need moping up bread. Anyhoo the plan was to have posh lamb burgers with spicy fries, suedy/carrot mash, various veg and a spot of mint sauce. But I had frozen the veg previously and forgot to take them out in time for my tea. .. Doh! So I had beanz with my burger and fries I feel great too. (probably better make sure I have some statins on standby and a phone nearby, just in case of heart failure) I should add, I allowed myself this junk treat as I've done some proper exercise today (as if I needed an excuse )
  13. Ooh, I'm just about to make my (rather late) tea and plan on watching that episode while I eat it
  14. I'm confused as to which reaction emoji I need for that one
  15. If the headlines simply said "More rain expected and it will never end" they would be much more factually correct
  16. I'm 75% through it, as I took a break after one of the characters met an unexpended end. I've enjoyed it, but I think they could have made it a couple of episodes shorter to tighten things up. I love Liam Cunningham chewing the scenery, he is a wonderful actor. I'm also fed up with why the brilliant scientist (if female) has to be stunningly beautiful. I'm surprised she would have all that extra time to perfect her coiffeur. Anyhoo the episode with the ship (you know what I mean if you have seen the episode) is very interesting. Reminds me of the movie Ghost Ship.
  17. I gave up on photobucket and moved to Flickr. I even pay for membership as I don't want the site to go full advertising or collapse. Photobucket just became a pain for my needs sadly
  18. As we live in an era of 0% trust, I wondered if the Nike trainers were photoshopped or Ai? He is an obnoxious excuse for a human being of course, that much even Ai can't fix.
  19. England. Lot of hoo haa over new logo
