Colonel Mustard

Forgive me for stating the obvious but if you actually bothered to read the section where I posted you will see that it falls under 'General Talk'. That's why I'm posting here. And as far as I can make out, it's set a good topic of discussion, even if there are some whom think they know better than the rest. Ok, I lied, there's only one. And sorry my old mate, it ain't you.

But do you know what language it is written in? Sadly, this is only apocryphal. It was his reply when asked in an interview, what he would like his headstone to say. Brilliantly displays his fabulous wit, mind ! It really does say it that on hs headstone. It's written it Gaelic. Doh! For anyone who has the inclination to see it for themselves he's buried in Winchelsea church yard. And it's hard to make out the inscription as the lettering is failry small for the style. I went to check it out when I was down there the other year.

Over the years ive often observed from a distance people who will eat in a posh restaurant dressed up to the nines,talking down to staff,engaging in " look how well im doing " conversations so anyone in earshot can be so impressed,picking holes in everything........................then leave and get into their crappy Ford Mondeo leaving everyone in the restaurant whispering about what a shower of c**ts they were. Its a way for them to " rise above " their usual level even if just for a short time before returning to the norm. Alternatively,a bunch of roughly spoken,slightly loud and aggre

Who's scrutinising the bill? Do you never check to make sure that you are paying for what you've ordered and eaten/drank? There's been many a time when I've found soething on the bill that shouldn't be on there. I am polite and I know how to behave in a classy restaurant but this wasn't a classy restaurant. It's a pub that's climbed up its own backside and pretending to be something it's not. You're not only paying for the food, you do also pay for the service. The tip is meant to make up their wages but if I'm eating in a joint that says 'We are shit hot come and eat here!' then I would exp

Aye but when you've got more money than a "coo can shite" you tend not to worry about it,,,,,,, Nothing to do with money its about manners................if you have to scrutinise a bill you should of gone to Mcdonalds where the prices are on the wall !....If you dont like it dont go back............ Going to a brass is a service but you still have to pay the agreed price even if its shit..........you just dont go back....apparently Just so I'm understanding this correctly, please humour me here for a moment. Going by your logic, and it sounds like you eat out a lot, you never ever loo

Exactamundo!

Mrs M's youngest and eldest called by yesterday morning to do the dutifuls. They also said they were taking her out to a nice restaurant (one we haven't been to before) and I was welcome to tag along (thanks for the invite and making me feel welcome). We were delighted to see that wild boar was on the mains. Mrs M chose it for her main. I asked the waiter how it was served as it wasn't detailed on the menu which I thought was strange. Thinking it would be either a loin which was seared and sliced or even a few slices from a roasted leg but was surprised to learn that it was shredded. I

you should see my spotted dick I'm sure that should be my line. Anyhow, perhaps you'll permit me to grace it with a little of my own custard? Does that sound wrong?

That must be a Nothern thing. We stopped using coal down here centuries ago

A current favourite of mine has got to be from JFK's moon speech - 'We choose to do these things, not because they are easy but because they are hard! Because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because the challenge is one we are willing to accept.' That's my Crossfit mantra. There are plenty of good one liners from the Dirty Harry films as well. Too many to quote on here though.

I have to say that is some damn fine looking cooking you got there Mrs. I just hope my wife doesn't find out I've been ogling another womans Victoria sponge and millionaire's shortbread

I don't tend to bother either. Too much of a hassle and seeds are fairly cheap if you look around. The other thing is the seeds you're buying have been treated or selected so as to minimise things like pests and diseases and other things like bolting (going to seed early) or as a previous post said you can get cross pollination which can really mess things up. I know you can't or rather shouldn't bother with saving seeds from a plant that you've harvest which is an F1 hybrid as the seed won't be like the parent plant. The parent plant is the hybrid and it's 'offspring' will be like the gran

This is meant to be a scaled down quotation but it didn't quite work. I'll look in to it but in the meantime please carry on as normal. A quote from I LOVE KENT - This won't happen over night but this is the root we are taking and we hope over a few years we can push this Show back to where it should be, with the support of the trade and public alike! - End quote. Ok, this may come across as a bit of bashing but I need to have answers to these questions, seeing as you're putting yourself up there. So, here's my beef. I don't suppose you'll be doing the same with entrance fees? I'm curi
