    Sungod doesn't actually exist. He's metaphysical.
    He's been either sent to spy on us or it's an experiment in AI or both.
    Although Sungod started life in a Petri dish and (unlike Stevo), 'he' (it) has evolved.

    What's puzzling me, is he is not a product of M15, M16, the KGB, the Stasi, the HVA or even the CIA, I think he's a product of Del Monte.

    I dunno, my wrinkles seem to be evolving.

    My mission for the summer, once I resemble a heavyish tester again rather than just a fat censored , is to meet sg for an eggs benedict and bubbly brunch at one of his cafés. I can then confirm whether or not he exists on this plane, or whether he is a glitch in the matrix, with shares in Lanzarote property and LVMH.

    Yes, please report back. Will there be Beethoven's moonlight sonata playing ethereally in the background?

    On a different tack, I have just eaten a cheap, bog standard Lidl Tiramisu and actually, it was quite good.
    A whole one?

    Evening folks,
    Knackered after ACOAD. I was in the office so bought the cakes given that I'm not one to shirk my responsibilities. People were amazed at how many cakes I could carry on a bicycle.
    Good news Ben, glad it worked out in the end. I'd raise a glass if I could face it 😂


    Still hanging? 🤣

    Erm, scroll back and read 'Loons posts. You know, actually read them. Boring I know but necessary.

    Could be that. Didn't realise he was being sent off so soon. They must be trying to get rid of him or something.

    They should hit him with a hammer, set fire to him and Chuck him over the fence

    i reckon i'd carry off the vintage look rather well

    but his insinuation that i'd dine at a wetherspoons is unforgivable

    Unlike SG, I have extensive experience of Wetherspoons, being a lover of cheap alcohol. I have never seen eggs benedict on the menu. Cheap burgers and curries, and a not disgusting breakfast.

    Oh yes. You could get a pint of Thornbridge Jaipur for 2.95 in my local.

    After long and extensive experience though, it matters little whether you are drinking Dom Perignon or special brew. It's all Ethanol/C2H5OH.

    Surely it's better to enjoy it on the way down, rather than for it to be shit at both ends? If not, what's the point of existence?

    Brick maker engineery bloke/Finance bloke.

    Therein lies the difference.

    Soz Oxo, it has to taste good. If you want to simply get drunk - drink Vodka*.

    *Preferably neat and stone cold.

    Or spesh. Or scrumpy Jack. Or Karpackie.

    Ice cold vodka is a treat with sausage, rollmop herrings, potato salad, caviar, gherkins, smoked salmon with blinis.

    Obvs it'll turn to piss and shit, but so will fosters and doritos.

    I know where I'd rather be.

    It's all about the enjoyment. I just had a few pints of Harvey's Sussex Best with 5 mates outside a local pub. Really good and well kept beer, unlike most 'spoons. I'll happily pay a premium to have well kept beer in pleasant surroundings, not lining the pockets of that twunt Martin is always a good thing.

    I miss that ^.
    I also must get around to making Jansson's frestelse.
    If I don't tell Shorty that it has Sprats in it, I might just get her to eat it.
