He's using that dodgy Train drivers time piece. Bet his train was always late. Needs that Bentley watch back from the service centre to get back on track (intentional pun).

I think you're going stir crazy. ☺

Or maybe not? If you were you"d have got rid of that ? mark and the fish!

[olduns]

Scorchio again and it's a religious Friday so OH insists on Fish...I did tell you I f***** hate fish didn't I?  😋

 

Salady things with feta cubes, prawns, Salmon fillet and homemade Garlic mayo...OH forgot how strong the garlic is here compared to her own grown. No vampires I suppose!

 

[mac11irl]

square fish, mash, wedges and veg with @Lady Elanore s fav fish accompaniment... grey-veh and ketchup.

Lady E -you missed out cakes from Pontefract  and ones from Eccles , and Scotch pies ( a misnomer as there's no liqueur of life in them). But most of all the Chieftain of the pudding race =haggis.

Most likely one from before time was universal in the UK and we had several time zones in the UK. But then AG will insist that we all go Down to Edinburgh.  ( Old rail joke)

How can that be square fish ?    It's oblong fish................I had pork casserole, sliced onions, whole onions, carrots, mushrooms, marrow fat peas and buttered lurkpak mash

I only allowed Counties as puddings 😛 and there are several Blackpuddings, so Lancashire can't claim that one so a double 😛 😛

its a colloquialism for frozen fish in chippies here - rather than the fresh battered/crumbed option

a typical exchange -

 

"its 3 in the morning, weve no fresh fish left."

"ah jaysus, throw's out an auld square cod n chips so."

[Lady Elanore]

A colleague of mine and me were walking back from a pub around midnight (many years ago when i did such things of course) and he popped his head into a chippy 'en route' and asked

 

"Have you got any chips left?" 

"Yes loads!" came the reply

"well you shouldn't have cooked so many then should you!" he drunkenly quipped

 

I walked very quickly away from the scene of conflict...

Currently deciding on choice of drink to go with tonight's offering....

Your local off licence/supermarket is going to miss you if you are ever allowed home.

[olduns]

I"ll tally up later.....

[olduns]

1 box 24 dumpies

2 x 75cl cider

2 x 75cl cheap sparkling - and I mean cheap, less than 2€ each

5 x 75cl blonde beers of varying strengths, 6+

8 x bottles of red

 

Probably between 35-40€ total?

So I'm only a casual buyer. 😋

[olduns]

Been rather warm again today so usual green stuff and a burger

During the 3 week UK lockdown SWMBO and myself haven't even had a beer let alone a glass of wine (despite having 14 bottles of red in the rack). Think we've become monk and nun shy.Also rather warm here in the sunny Midlands still 23C at 5pm.

I'm worried, I feel fine but don't want any tea. Am I losing my Northerness? 

[Lady Elanore]

UPDATE Re POSSIBLE LOSS OF NORTHERNESS...

 

 

I think I might be OK. Making monster soup (not literally as the crocodiles have sunk I think AG). Bit of chicken, ham, leek, onion, carrot, shallot, garlic, parsley, sweetcorn and probably some other stuff 

[VWD]

To cure the "lack of Northern ness" , you now need either lamb ( if from south of the Wall as sold at market) or Mutton ( from sheep found north of the wall and looked on as fair game by those turfed off of the land) , to be added to the pot.

For a Kir Royale

you need Casssis if you like pretty pink stuff (and blackcurrant) just put a dash in a flute and top up.

OR for a Cherry Bakewell

15ml (TBsp) Kirch, 15ml Amerretto in a flute, top up with fizz and ideally 2 kirch soaked cherries (buy the plastic tub and drown them well in advance)

OR since you're in France

15ml Dry Gin, a squeeze or lemon and a tiny pinch of icing sugar in a flute (sugar will foam if added last!)

 

Edit for spelling
