They have just abolished Vehicle Tax Discs. What does The RAC send me after 12 years of membership. A Tax Disc Holder. Ain't it Just Typical. DulwichFox

It's the last one so I cannot sell it to you in case someone else needs one.

On the contrary, I have never suggested so. I'm a reasonable cook when I set my mind to it. My latest inventory of my 'flavourings' as you put it. Indian Spices:- Green Cardamon, Black Cardamon, Fennel Seed Cumin Seed, Klowunji Seed (Black Onion), Brown Mustard Seed Ground Cumin, Ground Corriander, Elaichi Powder (Ground Cardamon), Asafoetida, Fenugreek., Termeric, Chilli Powder, Cayenne Pepper Methi Leaves Dried Red Chilli Saffron Strands Star Anise Garam Masala, Tandoori Masala, Pav Bhaji Masala Herbs:- Dry:- Rosemary, Thyme , Sage, Dill, Oregano, Basil, Mint, Bay Leaves Spices Misc. Paprika (various), Mace, Ginger, Cloves, Black Pepper, Sea Salt (various) Other: Balsamic Vinegar (various) White/Red Wine Vinegar I buy fresh ingredients as I need them. Freezer is full of usual junk we all have. Burgers, Fish Fingers. That never get eaten Plus selection of frozen veg. Not sure how log most of that has been there. Don't actually eat much veg. But can put together a decent Curry , Pasta dish of roast dinner. I go to restaurants when I feel lazy. :) Foxy

TODAY ONLY :- Free bread with every sandwich filling.

Have to admit my Prawn Jalfresi was poor and lacked ??prawns. Peshwari naan was poor and uncooked. I Have had 2 excellent meals there in the past 2-3 weeks but last night was more than just disappointing. Could become a victim of its own success. Foxy.

Why.. Think about it. There are millions of people dying because they do not have enough food to do just that. We here live in a society of Buy one, Throw one away. People just need to think more and show respect for the food we eat all eat. Not just gloat about how stuffed they were and how much it cost. After all the real necessity to eat food IS to stay alive. Every single creature on Earth Foxy

All day breakfast 6.00am - 6.30am

I had completely forgot about tonight. Will still be there. I too prefer Thursday. Foxy

Only PM me if you are genuine. No time wasters please.

If you like bottled beers you should visit 't Brugs Beertje, Kemelstraat 5, Brugge http://beerpubmap.belgianbeerboard.com/bb4.jpg http://beerpubmap.belgianbeerboard.com/bbe2.jpg Named "Bruges' Little Bear" the pub was opened in 1983 and has been a mecca for good beers ever since. This is another small building with tight, or intimate, seating. They offer 300 beers in bottle, with about 4 on tap. Tap beer is just not a big thing in Belgium. Foxy

Me.

Had a great evening. Food was good. Decent wine. Staff were polite and helpful. Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. complimentary drinks. Won't be going back. Prefer to remember it when was good.

I sort of like the early stages with all the bad auditions. :) The rest just drags on too long. but is done to make 10s X 1000's ?s ?M's in fact in phone call votes. I believe watching it whilst undergoing Root-Canal Treatment makes the programme more bearable. Problem is 12 weeks of root-canal treatment is very expensive. So I just go to the pub. Foxy

Not really a fan but did watch last night. It was indeed a farce. Do not remember in the past the selection system with the seats. ?? Simon Cowell seems to run the show. Understand the judges do not wear ear-pieces and do not get directions from the shows producers. Yeah ?? .. oh and the Pope is not a Catholic. DulwichFox

More Cycle lanes mean more congestion for other road users. Congestion + 20 MPH limit means vehicles travelling closer together = more pollution. No easy solution. DulwichFox

Monks .. Monks .. Monks

They usually close that line when Millwall (Sth Bermondsey)are playing at home. Millwall are away to Huddersfield today. Network rail obviously got their dates mixed up. :) DulwichFox

I do not begrudge the existence of any new / old establishment. I just don't share the enthusiasm and hysteria. Do not feel the 'Must give it a go' element. I tend to eat as a necessity to stay alive. Although I do eat a lot of Indian food in restaurants, I tend to be in and out within 30-40 mins. I do not much like sitting around in them for hours. I prefer to drink in a pub. Foxy.

The thing is KK not about loyalty on my behalf.. although I do tend to stick with one pub. EDT in my case. I think many people do the same. Its just that every time a new outlet opens up, everyone here (EDF) goes on about how they will use it and give their support to help it survive. ..Until another outlet opens up. Its just that we have reached saturation point. How many outlets can we keep afloat. I know that there are people here who seem by their comments to try every new outlet that opens up. They seem to exist a diet of Coffee and Croissants. As for leaving the house. Well I'm retired so I am at home at lot but I'm out and about a lot too. I walk a lot. Go shopping most days to stock up with provisions. I do get the sun on my face. I was in Turkey in July and will back there in October. Plenty of sun there. I'm out socializing every night and meeting new people in ED and further afield. I eat out 3-4 nights a week but during the day I cook breakfast lunch afternoon snack. I'm busy housekeeping during the day. Washing, cooking, Cleaning. Don't have time to sit in cafes. Foxy.

A handful have been save by co-operatives buying their pub. I don't think that could ever be the case for the Crown & Greyhound (Formerly two separate pubs I believe) DulwichFox

There are times when they are all full. Apart from Swadesh which does not sell or allow alcohol. Most people simply cannot make an authentic curry. Certainly do not even have the necessary spices in their cupboard. Cannot see the many Pop-Up cafes lasting that long. The old cafes used to. That's when they were full of builders standing their spoons up in a mug of tea... .. and the bloke / woman behind the counter, fag in mouth, could butter a whole loaf of bread without having to recharge the knife. Not to mention the obligatory Pin-Ball machine in the corner. Foxy

I don't go to cafes. Hardly ever. I have Tea and Coffee at home. I have Bread at Home. I have bacon and sausages at home. I have Eggs and Beans at home. I have crumpets, croissants and a range of jams and marmalade at home. I make my own breakfast and its a lot better than any Caf? can knock up. DulwichFox
