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'...

Yeah, he does a mean pork sword.

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.

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
