Yet more, willfully evasive spin on a subject that you still maintain, via ignorant, deflective supposition, is no longer practiced. And you can't spend your entire life huddled over your keyboard arguing the toss over something you seem to know very little about. Have you thought about getting some fresh air yourself, perhaps?


Although I'd be a fool to not recognize the advantages of knowing how to source food in a post apocalyptic landscape, my hunting of large and small game has no alterior motive, such as preparing myself for what you're suggesting I'm looking forward to, *Bob*. But please, take all the time you need to find, or create, evidence that proves otherwise.



Yes, I understand that animals don't have the luxury of a fallout shelter, and thus wouldn't be around to hunt. But I was just trying to make a point, albeit a laughable one, I admit.


But please, fell free to continue in your reptitive, evasive exercise in distraction.

I think you've got me confused with some vegetarian four pages back.


If you want to jet-off to Bulgaria and creep around in the woods in camouflage paint with a bow and arrow whilst listening to Wagner on your iPod - and come home with a Tupperware container half-full of owl meat and a big smile on your face, you go for it.


I don't object to hunting (aka 'paintballing plus').. never have. Whatever turns you on (and it clearly does).



*Bob*, it seems that we've arrived at some resemblance of civilized discourse, except for a faint wiff of yet more baseless supposition on your behalf that you consistently fail or object to backing-up.


I don't "get off" on hunting in the erotic sense that you've childishly, not to mention evasively (yet again), implied. I won't deny that I enjoy the tracking aspect, but I don't spunk in my underwear once the animal I've shot/skewered draws its last breath. Nor do I hunt to such a dramatic soundtrack as Ride of the Valkyries on full blast on an ipod whilst I "creep around in the woods", I don't own one, and to do so would render the hunt futile, as I'm sure you already know. Or are you so dangerously naive that you didn't?

Actually hideously rude is being generous!

Would you care to add some evidence that would go towards backing-up that so-far baseless assertion



Immature, Pillock, Stupid oaf,

Imbecile, Dumbass, Childish,

Naive dreadlocked crusty,

Illiterate cretin,

F_cking idiot


All the above words, used by you Scribe, directed towards fellow posters on this one thread.

What exactly is your definition of 'rude'?

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
