Tv chefs who go on tour, discover a fabulous previously undiscovered chef in some country or the other and rather than showing that chef cooking so we can learn from them, the tv chef insists on cooking something mediocre for the said chef... Grrrrr the tv chefs have a whole program about them but I want to see more by the undiscovered chef

Posters that are so full of themselves that they have to post on every thread going. No matter what the subject they have to get in. They cannot shut up. Over 13000 posts! Non-stop. Give it a rest. Take a break like O did, be discerning. Know what I mean j?

I'd sooner read 13,000 of Jeremy's posts than 13 of yours, which are almost without exception simply spiteful and trollish. Do you get off on just being as unpleasant as you can to people? The evidence would certainly seem to point that way.

That's causing me irrational giggles. Especially since English-speakers often over-egg the "oo" sound, like when people intend to say merci beaucoup! but turn it into merci beau cul! (that's "thanks, nice arse!")


"So you see darling, I simply had to deliver the cul de gras!" - the good old 'arse of fat' :D

Finding, at last, good condition Mervyn Peake paperbacks to replace mine foolishly lent, years ago, in a charity shop, Titus Groan and Titus Alone, with a space in between them. sigh. Probably only ten minutes too late.

Hi Sue.

I've always got Popadoms in the cupboard.

I deep fry them in Sunflower oil. 190 deg c and they come out crisp and dry. Just stand upright for 20 seconds.

They tend to go hard not crisp in the micromave.


Do use Micro wave I'm in a hurry. but they do not swell up like they do when deep Fried.

Waiting in all day for something to arrive that you have ordered.

Someone phones you. You answer to find that the caller isn't paying attention and engaged in a conversation with someone else while waiting for me to answer. Well I did answer and as you couldn't be arsed to listen I put the phone down on you. Timewasters.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
