Cheers Wolf. (sets watch till someone tells us he was a veggie)


Muley, you mean Rick Stein, of course. I'd like to pour impotent scorn on him from behind my sweaty keyboard, but he seems a decent sort of chap. That Chalky was a right bellend, thoughbut.

That's the fella. Always seems truly enthusiastic about the food, rather than bolstering his own celebrity. You're right about that little git Chalky though- probably took his name from a Jim Davidson 'joke'...

TM I did for a short time genuinely think that Kev and Brian were the same person. I put their differing sizes down to somewhat dodgy eyesight and perhaps doing more vodka at the time than even John Torode does these days.

What innocent drunk telly watching days, they were. Absolutly over now of course.

Well done RD but is Padme Lakshmi really a chef even though she's really fit.


Aside from that. How could we forget possibly the most annoying chef of all time and lore. Remember when channel 5 was launched and we had to put up with the one and only Nancy Lam.

I rest my case.

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
