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


Again

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
