Pasta is cheap. You can cook basics on a budget.
She could drink me under the table. I was also introduced to Vodka - stone cold, in a shot glass out of the freezer.

Trouble being that it is the same in pretty much every pub. There is a reason they can do food at cheap to reasonable prices and it's not a creative chef.ddraver said:
I wouldnt be going back to the pub...pblakeney said:
Interesting. If you go to an average pub for an average pub meal would you know the difference between their usual fare and an M&S ready meal? I always think it's the same.pinno said:
Agreed. M&S food is good but a ready meal? No ta.ddraver said:I just can't agree with you there RJ...
I want to know what I am eating.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I was once on a train near a loud lady who was on the phone recruiting microwave chefs for pubs. Not sure if the exact training requirements!0

I used to listen to Radio2 all the time whilst at work, his 'Serious jockin' was the final straw and I switched to Classic FM
Never could stand him, wherever he was. Hadn't even realised he was still going.0 -
It was like BBC Radio’s version of Top Gear. Same format for decades despite it being well beyond its sell by date.pinno said:Back OT:

Now if only they could do away with Jeremy Vine, Radio 2 is no place for a phone and especially not one hosted by a bloke who seems to find it so hard to understand the arguments the callers are making.0 -
He used to go on about 'serious jockin' for the entire week, giving a countdown in days to it. He really thought it was something special.
He once asked for people to write in, summing up what it meant to them. My email said...
"Self indulgent bag of w@nk"
I doubt he ever saw it but I hope it gave the control room a laugh.

Jeremy Vine tries to play devils advocate and tries to be provocative but fails miserably. Paxman was of the same ilk.Pross said:

Vine and Wright are the Daily Mail on the radio. In fact, R2 is very Daily Mailish given the sheer volume of banality.
When I hear "...factoids..." I always think haemorrhoids. It's so banal. Steve Wright was bearable years ago when he was on R1. He was a bit more risqué.
Give the slot to Craig Charles.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

That's my very local bike shop, in particular. I was devasted when they announced they were retiring, but very happy that they've found a young, local, cyclist buyer of it as a going concern. They are the sort of shop that will lend me a specific tool overnight, or apologise that they can't get round to a repair until tomorrow... and then give a 10% discount without my asking...0 -
Watching the rugby earlier and heard screeching from above. When I looked up there was a buzzard getting hassled by a crow but for once the crow had forgotten to bring its mates along and the buzzard gave it a right kicking.0
