You're talking to someone here who'se evolved from Babycham so don't knock Prosecco. Actually I agree - it is a fad. Do you have something against fads though? What's not to like? It's cold and bubly and it goes down nice and smooth. If something better comes along then I say "bring it on mate, and let's party".
I hear you Quids, but I'm happy for now. It's coffee that gets me. Why can't you just go in to a coffee shop and order a cup of coffee? Sounds bloody obvious doesn't it but oh no, unless your coffee has at least six different elements to it, they look down on you. Me, I have an Americano, black, regular. That just about scrapes through as a credible order. Really it's just a cup of black coffee but you can't ask for that can you?

Prosecco isn't really a fad for me, I have to say. I don't like all Prosecco by any means but I really like that one. It's cold, bubbly, goes down a treat and is a whole pile cheaper than champagne. Don't knock it till you've tried it Quids. In fact I'll give you a free bottle, and if you hate it, you can come back on here and dis me. But if you like it you have to come back on here and play nicely!


Deal?


And yes it is domestic bliss over here giggirl!! Though mop head is now gone. We'd reached the stage where he needed a hairband to watch Thomas the Tank Engine, and after his father had had them for the weekend I could hear mutterings of "no son of mine......." etc etc. Shame, but probably for the best!

I know and these new five pee bits are so fiddly, and aren't the prices crool these day?

Fifty new pence for an apple I was charged the other day, that's two crowns in the old money.

And this weather doesn't suit me either, when I was a lass we had proper summer, not like this nonsense.

And whatever happened to proper newsreaders like Robert Dougall, nowadays you have these brassy trollops displaying themselves with no shame, sitting on the desk like I don't know what...


*Giggi Brady Old Lady continues in this vein until someone turns up with a bottle of Prosecco and a straw*

I do like Prosecco, honest I do. But after a while it starts to feel a bit soft and a bit bland and you do start to hanker after its big brother. And then you check your wallet and think again.


However, giggirl, didn't you know? Black coffee is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than white, and always will be. Just as whisky is cooler than vodka and red wine than white. Don't ask me why, I don't write the rules.

Of course, Giggi Bosie was a hit with all the gals.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Beagle - nobody's in the mood for a scrap. I've gone off topic on every thread I've been on but that's hardly hard-core is it? What's the forum coming to when there's not a wobbly lip in sight?
I know - it's really quite disappointing. Not a single rant? Not one heartfelt tirade? Not even the weeniest spot of self-righteous anger? It must be the weather. If we've all become well behaved and tolerant I shall cry. I may even stamp my foot.

    • Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks 
    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
