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)

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. :) )

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

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.

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'

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

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.

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.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
