Whilst on the enforced sabbatical I read far more David Sedaris than usual


This was a near perfect solution, here he reads an extract from one of his books (I'm on my third )





And what with the ******mas lights going on today also very topical


Lah lah...




W**F




Duh, calm down ...

Hmmm maybe ! but a Quality load of pretentious @#$%& , though after the exhausting experience of reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" a tip toe around a David Sedaris is a most delightful mind garden of banality.


"Dress your family in corduroy & denim" is better than MTPOD in MHO



W**F

I love David Sedaris....and was quite a fan of both me talk pretty one day and dress your family....

But I hated Barrel Fever with a passion...it lacked the realism and sincerity of his other work - I just felt it went for cheap dirty laughs (that's the one where he has a fantasy about dating Mike Tyson right?).

yes, the mike tyson one


Dons story still has me chuckling away on the 21st read


If you can get inside the head of a dope smoking layabout who does nothing but watch US TV and read the national enquirer to fill in his long days, then its makes sense. Theres lots of US celeb references that ideally would require a bit of background knowledge to appreciate but may mean nothing to some


innit

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
