    Devon is the best place for fish and chips

    Nope...you are incorrect

    The hole in the wa' chippy in Anstruther (east neuk of Fife) is the best chippy...fishmonger......pffff why involve a middle man...

    those fish come off the boat and delivered straight ot the chippy
    Well if we are talking Scotland then Isle of Arran at Brodick port, the fish and chippy there is particularly awesome. Still not the Trinity Street Fisherie though.

    So what were you doing in Town? and when?

    and yes I agree.

    Despite the assertion on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares last night that Brighton doesn't have any decent fresh fish, it was there that I had the best fish and chips I can remember a few weeks ago.

    Hang - wtf am I talking about? I was in Eastbourne, not Brighton? Ah well, they're all the same down there...
  • My Turkish wife can't decide between "Manti" (Turkish ravioli with fresh yoghurt and seasoned with dried red pepper and mint) or Kofte (hand-made Turkish meatballs) with a side dish of Kisi (Bulgar wheat with lemon juice and spring onions). Changed days! The only culinary decision I used to make as a single man was between red or brown sauce on my chips.

    Steady on! Brighton & Eastbourne are two very different towns I'll have you know. The finest chippy in Brighton, nay the world*, is Bardsleys on Baker Street. It's won awards and everything...

    I have eaten all the carbohydrates in Dorset for the last two days, so dinner will be a large piece of meat.......

    And I've barely ridden my steeds all week (half-term, children moan moan) so obviously I have now gained a stone or three and lost ALL my fitness :cry:

    Jaysus! You live in Wimbledon and what? You must be 29 - 35 yrs old. Put a dress/skirt/leggings/jeans and top on go over to the Terrace or Jim Beans, drink yourself merry and put yourself out there to been seen girl.

    Life isn't over yet. It only begins when you loose your inhibitions and stop caring what others think! As I said before "liberated soul!"

    I almost feel like dragging you out myself and finding you a man! (Probably one of my friends: he works for channel 4, 25 and he's funny but not a clown, good looking but not pretty, hairy but not chewbacca, caring but not stifling, strong but not intimidating, tall but not lanky etc - he may need training though..... :wink: )

    Noooooo! I was telling linsen to do that, seeing as she's put on forty stone this week and is now more unfit than a 20yr comatose veteran ;)

    And for what it's worth I have a man spending the weekend with me (or half of it at least) so neerrrrrr.

    Your friend sounds a bit, um, indistinct...

    But hey, I'm not ruling anything out...

    As for my friend, yes, I think that might just be his problem...

  • We're having chilli con carne, with a bottle of red

    Mr B - it was actually spaghetti bolognese

    (and no, my cooking's not that bad that it wasn't easily recognisable!)

    Hey, Greg66, how come you've got 2 near identical bikes?

    Aluminium for wet days. Carbon for dry. Although over winter, unless I'm sure it will stay dry all day, I'll stick to the alu bike; it's what I'm on today and have been all this wee, for example.

    I wanted to have exactly the same geometry on both of them, so same manufacturer, same geometry, same size stem/bars, same set up. The alu one has cheaper components.

    So, how's the OCD treatment coming along? :twisted:

    The "*mostly* single" would be"not single" if you were prepared to put your foot in his mouth... :roll:

    A delicacy, I'm sure, but only if it has been properly marinated in its own sauces for at least 45mins!

    I'm binging, tomorrow is the start of 1 month of 'detox diet' arrgghh

    No meat, wheat, dairy, caffeine or alcohol...!!!! just tiny portions of unpronounceable beans and veg.

    I'd be really depressed if it wasn't for the fact that it really does makes you feel so much healthier and more alert, no where did I put that bottle opener...
