In the absence of Quids.


DECISION:


Diplomatic Immunity Plea rejected.


Grounds: failure of the defendant to satisfy this Court that he is entitled to diplomatic immunity. Moreover, Exhibit A (threads from the EDF) corroborates this by providing irrefutable evidence of an inability to conduct himself remotely diplomatically contrary to the EDF Regulations as laid out by Mark.


Sentence:


(1) Community Service Order:

You are required to keep the streets of ED free of snow, ice and dog poo for a period of one month.


You are to assist cooking-challenged forumites with various cooking tasks. Tasks to include:


- showing Katie1997 how to cook rice without the benefit of a rice cooker

- demonstrating to HAL9000 how to peel/crush garlic and extract juice from lemons

- aiding Helen Graves with the peeling of some 5 billion chick peas.


Furthermore, you are to give a demonstration on how to bake the best Irish Soda Bread. This demonstration to take place at 8pm 10th December at the next EDF Drinks.


(2) Exclusion Order:

You are to refrain from posting in The Lounge for a period of one month. Conversely you are obliged to post in the Drawing Room at least 50 times a day. Any inappropriate postings will result in your facing a specialist panel comprised of: Huguenot, Mockney Piers and DJKillaQueen.


(3) Curfew Order:

You are not at liberty to attend the EDF's offices for a period of one month except for the purpose of feeding and combing the Forum's mangey and flea-ridden pet dog: Woofmarkthedog.


(4) Probation order:

You are required to report to SeanMacGabann twice daily.


(5) Supervision Order:

Power is hereby given to Quids who will take overall responsibility for your supervision. Should you fail to keep the peace and/or conduct yourself in a manner appropriate to ED folk, Quids may issue whatever further penalty he deems appropriate. This could include, but is not limited to, installing you in the specially erected stocks on Goose Green where the yummy mummies of ED and their sprogs would be encouraged to have a field day (egged on by the likes of HonaloochieB, karter and VerryBerryCherry). Such an "event" would be supervised by Mick Mac.


( 6) Forfeiture Order:

For breach of Rule 5.6(A)III(xi) of Master Quids' 100s Game, your falsely claimed 100 is to be surrendered immediately and given instead to the more worthy player: Ladymuck.


You have 7 days in which to lodge an appeal with Legalbeagle.

Thieving?


Well! I simply cannot permit such an allegation to go unchallenged.


Section 1 of the Theft Act 1968 states that: a person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it. Yes indeedy.


Was there dishonesty? Nope. We are talking about a pursuit created by the elusive Master Quids. I, for once, abided by the rules. You could have played, but failed to do so in time. In other words, you lack the necessary speed and proficiency for the game.


Was there appropriation? Well, I guess it could be argued that there was. BUT...as dishonesty is manifestly absent from your most ungracious charge, then the appropriation becomes irrelevant.


Was there property? Again yes, but without the element of dishonesty you don't have a toe to stand on. Not a carpal.


Did it involve property belonging to another? Nope. The 6000 was available for all to play. Though for the avoidance of doubt, I should state that the 6,000 now firmly belongs to the highly skilled moi. Oooooh yes.


Was there an intention to permanently deprive? Of course there was! That's the point of the game. You had your chance, but you blew it.


*thinks: AMATEUR*

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
