I'm posting whilst on holiday thread

[Mick Mac]

Ps. Don't like to lose touch and it was tricky following the golf at the weekend but managed it with

Frequently buffering disjointed radio 5 coverage

Graphics on the PGA mobile site

live Betfair odds (you know something has happened but you don't know what)

Text updates from Quids on how his fancies were faring

Van Rouge.

[????]

One of my fancies won.

Is Van Rouge, Van Morrisons' french equivalent?

[Mick Mac]

Well done. Every dog has his day!

Van Rouge is a popular label, with a picture of a red van on the front. Not that I was really drinking that one, of course.

[Loz]

I didn't post (nor read any posts) while I was on holiday. I considered two weeks away from the forum as part of the holiday!

Plus I was stuck with the missus's iPad. Give me a decent laptop any day.

[Seabag]

I'm back now just so you know

One thing about france though, it's all a bit regional innit

There's only so much Foie Gras and duck based products I can handle, someone should open a Tandoori chain there

Oh and oh yeah, they love a pizza in SW France, fekkin cheese/bread based snacks everywhere

You should try the Arepas in Colombia.

(Yes, that was a shameless way to insert my recent destination. :) )

[Louisa]

I'm just back from a two week break in Skegness. I lived in a caravan and ate slops from a dustbin.

Anymore gloating BS about poncing off abroad to some fancy pants location and I'll vom in my mouth.

Snobby tossers!

Louisa.

yeah, I bet you also had that pretentious dish they call... 'omelette'. Just a posh way of serving eggs. FFS.

Please don't say you had it with a glass of wine as well.

Lou hasn't really been to Skeggy, or eaten out of a dustbin

She just likes to be spiteful, yet we get to hear about her getting sh!tfaced and stuffing a kebab in her face on 'the lane'

Or some wondrous trip to a food warehouse on the Old Kent Road

Again

[Louisa]

Yeah the realities of city life eh bags? Heaven forbid having to rough it!

Can't even rough it round here now without having a focaccia stuffed in your face for a fiver a pop. Anyway, keep pontificating about roughing it in the south of France. Hope the yacht wasn't too small and the champagne was kept ice cold at all times? 'Knob' syndrome appears to be catching.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

France was fairly basic Lou, essentillay a wooden shed with a bedroom just big enough for a smallish double bed. The kitchen compromised of a work top and two ring burner, so not really room for the yacht here i'm afraid

It's on a camp site in a wood by the beach, and the wine is really cheap

So hardly 'knobbing' but as you will

Oh and, SW France isn't the 'south of France'

[Seabag]

If you like ham, cheese and bread

Or that marvellous hot mix up version of the above 'pizza' then head to the French Alps

Not a day's gone by when I've not inserted some in one form or another into my face

Snow's pretty ok if you're thinking of an early one

[Mick Mac]

Its Christmas here - party on in London, not to be missed.

[Jeremy]

I could murder one of these..

I love the cheese-tastic parts of France like the Savoyard, but I have to draw the line at raclette. FFS - it's melted cheese and boiled potatoes. That's not a meal - it's the last contents of the fridge when you've forgotten to do the shopping.

From the Nigel Slater Christmas Recipes Book..

Correction : melted cheese, boiled potatoes, charcuterie and pickles.

Protein, carbs, veggies... pretty balanced I'd say! (washed down with red wine, which obviously counts as another one of your five-a-day)

You'll be happy to know that I got to the autoroute gate at 1-am only to go "Oh fekk" when the auto machine rejected my

Visa cards

And of course I had no cash whatsoever, Alan I thought of you then

Would they let me through, NON

But a man came along about an hour later, drove me to a cash machine 1/2 hour away to draw cash out and then pay ?20 to be on my way

Yes Al, I thought of you smiling at my plight. I'm coming back v soon, ? in pocket this time

This was my lunch today. Except I couldn't open the pickle jar and didn't wash it down with red wine. So apart from that...pretty similar.

[maxxi]

Melted cheesey niceness here too - with hot alcohol... (whisper it) Street Food!

[Seabag]

I'll be cheese loading my VW transporter on Weds from U supermarket

The place has an altar of the stuff, it's fekkin mind (and heart valve) blowing

I'll happily roll a wheel of the stuff on for anyone who's in need for the festive break

Pm if you're in cheese mode

🧀

[jacks09]

[jacks09]

Oh, and 50
