    Xmas Parties

    Oh surprise surprise, when the heat is on and the parties are over Boz announces? A. Something nasty to do with immigration B. A spaff new pie in the sky project, like a high speed bullet train from Scotland to Ireland. https://apple.news/AXy2mZL2ESRilr2BR2Nq_tg

Back about 12 years ago my life hit that ?is this it? moment and my kids were old enough not to be so dependent on me always, and I had some energy to get out. I definitely didn?t want to do the ?lads out on a Friday nite? thing and a mate suggested I join him at the Hob on a Monday nite, for new acts. It was such a funny time, where at times it?d be single figures in the audience. But the real joy was watching people brave enough (and often funny enough) to get up there and risk failure, and that was inspiring. I?d say it pushed me to push myself in business with more confidence than I?d ever thought possible. I?m grateful that people like Emma put on these nights, and the jammed packed Saturdays where people like Micky Flannigan would compare and you?d get the likes of Eddie Izzard turning up. She knew you need both ends of the spectrum to give talent a chance. I?ve watched a lot of stand up over the years, it still makes the hairs stand up on my neck. RIP Emma 👏

    Xmas Parties

    I?m actually at my party now, in a bubble of one. Nobody else is here, so I?ve taken off my mask, which is great as my glasses were steaming up. However, the place across the road seems to be full of people, shirts unbuttoned and necking drinks. Obviously they?re following whatever?s they?ve decided on.

    Xmas Parties

    It?s all a lot clearer As long as the guidelines are followed, even if there is or isn?t an event, then I?m happy to attend. Or not as the case may be. I for one am glad Boris and his team are there to guide us clearly on matters like this. This and everything else they get involved with on our behalf. https://apple.news/AddJfxzqcSfe06RcTUPXF1Q

    Igel Farag does have a slight ?panto? vibe about his style And I wouldn?t put it past him to say ?Oooo errr Matron? either. I wonder when Jim Davidson start his tenure on GB News?

    Xmas Parties

    I was planning on attending my Xmas Party this year, on my own But I?m not sure now, in case it?s unsafe to do so. Nobody else will be there, so without me that?s one less person I?ll not possibly infect or get infected by. I was looking forward to it, but I think I?ll still not go, what the heck. I?m looking forward to seeing myself there as usual. I?ve taken my guidance from Number 10, as they?re really good at this kind of ?guidance? make up your own mind thing. Only what to wear? I hope you have fun. I?m really looking forward to it this year. https://apple.news/AqrgSIFSoTFiRngXa6c1z0A

    Nigel Farag interviews Don Trump for this world exclusive on GB NEWS https://apple.news/AJMdK5johTZy-sXNGjjgCJA Utterly fascinating journalism. On a side note. Has DT actually got a real tan now, from the Florida sun?
  9. Ads for The Yeovil sheepskin Centre, they were brilliant If you lived in Sussex in the eighties, and you were up past 11:00 pm, you got to see & hear them in all their glory.

I like him very much. He?s also got this channel on in his study (where he runs his empire from mostly) and last week I went in to see him in there. ?Oh GB NEWS, it?s still going then?? ?Very much so, yes!? was his crisp assertion. ?But it?s got a hammering no? And AN left and now says it?s the worst experience of his career.? ?Thats basically the left wing press and the biased BBC giving it as much bad coverage as possible.? I left it there, but yes, there?s still hardliners that no matter what and how crap something is, they won?t give in or give it up. Which explains a lot, and explains why BJ seems to be forgiven, even tho he is obviously crap too.
  13. If there?s Ms then what?s the male equal to that We get Mr across the board, such an insult to not even be considered. Who?s idea was that?
  14. C4 is either dire or diamond, so much so it?s not on my regular radar now. I thinks some formats, Bb BGT & X Factor/ The Voice all suffered of late so the host channel suffered with it. I?m much more into program?s rather than shows now, if that makes sense
  15. Oh dear? that?s quite an old mindset not watching the other BBC channels as some kind of snobbery I know it is, because I used to be the same. But stretch yourself, there?s some gems in there and in BBC3 even The new music show with DJ Target, very good and current. It basically follows the Jools Holland template for a show. If it ain?t broke and all that ? What?s the name of the the new Peckham show?

    What happens if you take your number plates off? That?ll make it harder for them. And take the windows out too, that way nobody can stick a ticket on your Windscreen.

  19. I did deliberately meander on the Borough market (I?ve been in hospital, so maybe it?s the meds somewhat🤪) but? because ?someone? from Borough Market says something like they did, mainly because there?s thousands from BM who say nothing of the sort. My point being, you make your choices, you have your resources. I just cranked on about the gem that?s on our doorstep, which inspires so many other, which gives the whole farmers market scene a fixed focus point, or at least a point of reference. It leads into my comments about municipal markets, in some shape or other, down to day markets in car park?s too. Of which local boroughs and county councils should be encouraging and sponsoring, even legislating for. And be fair Malumbu, some of the things you post meander and drift all over the show often, so careful not to nudge others for drifting out of their lane a little. Sometimes I?ve heard people say ?I don?t go to Borough anymore? and when I ask when the last time they did, it?s often quite a time ago. So I?m duty bound to share the updates as I see them I think. I live in Sevenoaks mostly now, it?s possible to shop at a local butcher, much of it their own ( Coldbreath the butcher), we?ve a great farm shop, and much more. No real local baker, unless you include Gails. Great fish from Sussex. Lots more. Oh the full gamut here too. Sainsbury?s, Tesco, Aldi Lidl & Waitrose. Much of it depends how bothered you are to get out and find the stuff, no matter where you live.
  20. I was at the Market Porter last nite, the nite before and on the weekend just gone. The area has and is gone through a bit of a renaissance over time, specially since the night of the awful violence there. And I love the place to be fair, not all of it, but in general, it?s a hub that has a real buzz. It?s starting to remind me more and more of the markets in Madrid , Valencia & Barcelona, where if you watch them through the day, they change, shift and morph. The veg vendors now have wine bars and restaurants in them of an evening, so as you walk through the space that was earlier thonging with crowds of lunchtime tourists and office workers on breaks, you get pockets of people sitting in the part covered market, eating and chatting under the low atmospheric lighting. It?s quite magical. There?s also a number of new restaurants to open there , with Parrallian (like the outdoor bbq place in Kings X) part of Barafina group, and I think a BlackLock all due to open at some near point. There?s others too I?ve heard of in the pipeline, located on the development where Vinopolis was. It still feels like London used to in some ways, a bit like Covent Garden once did, way back. And I?m sure they?ve taken their cues from that area. And places like the Market Porter are thriving, beyond what most pubs are. It?s a wet boozer, with some food. And the beer offer is good, with a balance between craft & ale & lager. The place buzzes, and on Saturday we had an impromptu gathering there during the day, something I?d not done for a very long time, and having a chance to bump into old friends, and family. Super nice. On bread, you pay for what you get pretty much, bread being two components essentially. Flour & water. + time. Good bread from top quality flour cost money, because you can?t rush it. (My yard has the Snapery bakery in a unit opposite, so I buy a few loves and freeze them as required) The difference is poles apart from your supermarket ?loaf?. Real good sourdough is expensive often, but worth it. Look out for grain/flour from Shipton Mills or Wild Farmed, it?s all uk flour and excellent, as is British baking in general, we lead the field when it comes to bread making in my view. Try buying a good loaf like you get here in Spain. I know restaurant owners in Barcelona trying to get sourdough made like we do, but they can?t access the grain quality as we can here with the likes of Gillchesters etc. Ingredients wise, it?s expensive but convenient to shop at the market, (just like spain and France is, though spain as a municipality model, and even the likes of Lidl can be found right next to a super specialised vendor) though I often buy mushrooms in season, which lately I just have with steamed greens (lots of local Kent stuff this year here) to compliment a good piece of beef (I?m still firing up my bbq to cook that). And during the week a corn fed free range Lidl chicken is good, usually with a bunch of steamed vegetables again. Things have got way simpler in our household, and we use some supermarket and some farm shop and market provisions. That said, it?s often about time. I know I?m lucky as my job is the restaurant industry, so I?ve time to mooch Borough and such places, I can knit in a quick out of hours visit and grab stuff we want relatively easy during my week. And Borough is easy as my train comics in to London Bridge when I commute up. Living in ED and the surrounding are gives you good accessibility to the stuff you need, SMBS and such likes are little gems, and even though my life in Sevenoaks is immeasurably better than when I lived on the manor, I do miss some of it.
  21. Frost is a cutn as is Johnson. Oven ready? Shame we?re not on the old natural gas and we could shove this governments head in said cooking device. Lying, scheming cunts https://apple.news/AxtufJTDUQja0DRtHdQPwXg
