B*stard pears

[RosieH]

Promise so much.

Then break your teeth.

[Salsaboy]

I've never trusted them. Always looked a bit shifty to me.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

You are supposed to take them out the tin RosieH...

Nectarines are good now by the way.

[RosieH]

Mmm, tinned pears with chocolate sauce. Nice one Help-Ma.

And Salsaboy, you're so right. Even now, in spite of knowing that it's rock solid and so bitter it will give you a poorly tummy, it looks golden and plump and enticing, and I'm almost tempted to try again in case the other side's better.

The other side is not better.

Conference pears are not so mendacious.

Much like the grilled ribs in Brixton Village

(wot-did literally break my teeth)

:))

(smile less one tooth here)

But, they were so worth it

Unlike your pears

[RosieH]

Ooh, where, where? I need me some ribs. Wanted ribs on Eat Street but then a bally meeting got in the way.

I once broke a tooth on a sugared almond.

No one has ever broken a tooth on my pears.

Badoom-tish.

[david_carnell]

Oooh what a lovely pear.

[RosieH]

Ayyyy, D_C (tu)

[giggirl]

So sorry Rosie.

Eddie Izzard....

Pears can just f*u*ck off too. 'Cause they're gorgeous little beasts, but they're ripe for half an hour, and you're never there. They're like a rock or they're mush. In the supermarket, people banging in nails. "I'll just put these shelves up, mate, then you can have the pear." ? So you think, "I'll take them home and they'll ripen up." But you put them in the bowl at home, and they sit there, going, "No! No! Don't ripen yet, don't ripen yet. Wait til he goes out the room! Ripen! Now now now!"

[RosieH]

Eddie's right about everything, isn't he?

When's he going to be our mayor? Then he can ban the duplicitous pears.

[giggirl]

Eddie's absolutely right about everything and I would.

I have a thing for Eddies (Izzard / Vedder).

[Moos]

I so would. Cake or death.

[giggirl]

Cake please.

[RosieH]

Me too.

[RosieH]

Damn, too slow.

The "me too" was in response to having a thing for Eddies.

But yes, I'm with you ladies. Did I tell you he sat on my desk once? I nearly fell on the floor. I didn't speak to him, obviously.

[giggirl]

How to avoid speaking with Eddie Izzard when he's sat at your desk? No, I give up. Were you on drugs? Shamefull.

[RosieH]

I was overcome. He was talking to someone else and perched on my desk. I simply gazed up, mute, hyperventilating, in wonder and adoration.

[karter]

A nice bit of melon goes down well, in this lovely weather.;-)

[maxxi]

There are some very large apples (can't remember the name) in Pretty's atm with quite a pear-like taste and texture - by which I mean sweet not sharp and with a porous rather than a tight texture - my OH is a pear fanatic and she loved 'em.

OK-doh-kay

Ribs of Joy

If you're in Brixton Village and you're heading out of Honest Burger.

Walk down toward Brixton Cornucopia, which will be on the left corner. Stop there and look across right. There's a place across the way, with darkwood windows and about 10 or so small tables.

That's the utterly-delicious-ribs-place (where I broke said tooth), I think they're Columbian/Brazilian, maybe

Friggin lovely it is though

Netts(tu)

(inset toothless smile here)

P.s. it might be called Elsantafereno

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Just had a Pink Lady - Recommended.

[giggirl]

Isn't that a cocktail. Bit early isn't it? Slippery slope.

[Brendan]

No, no I'm sure the cocktail is a slippery nipple. Altough what would I know I've always been more of an imperial leather man myself.

I don't think that's a jubilee joke.

HMB has started the bank holiday weekend early...
