They don't even seem to get horribly drunk and pass out in front of the telly from what he told me.Quote:

Then fine wines with dinner, possibly port and/or brandy after dinner, then telly with more wine and perhaps a dram or some more brandy before bed. You basically don't stop drinking for 12-14 hours. Marvellous.Quote:

Although typing that has depressed me, so I might make some chips and throw the chilli on top of them with a load of cheese.
Why do you have chilli in the freezer? Isn't it tasting up space where ice should be?Quote:

It's handy to have these things ready for when you just can't be arsed cooking, isn't it? Sorry about your dad. :-(Quote:

It's ok, I'm kind of over it now.Quote:

I meant sorry you're feeling all sad, not sorry he's dead. Although I am obviously sorry he's dead. You know what I meant.Quote:

Starts half an hour early tonight coz of the rain yesterday so 11.30 your time. Would hate you to miss our early morning collapseQuote:
