Weather's looking rather dull this weekend :-(

Shame, I was thinking of starting my summer barbecue and negroni consumption otherwise.

However, negronis when it's cloudy and 15 degrees just wouldn't feel right.

Biergarten weather on Sunday Much preferable to any other option. It was ****ing snowing this morning though - weird Euro weather

I've been in Amsterdam most of this week. The weather veered from beautifully warm to freezing, with gale force winds and hail. Stupid Amsterdam.

Also, why do they have so many 'Argentinian' steak houses with all you can eat rib offers?

People seem to get very hungry there

Talking of which, my sister found out over Christmas that my 15 year-old nephew and godson smokes weed and absolutely lost her shït about it. The fact it was obvious seems to have passed her by. Anyway, she keeps catching him at it/finding his stash and losing her rag - which is all very funny. So now he's supposedly said he's stopped smoking.
However, the other day on Facebook, she posted a picture of a load of demolished pizza, crisps, biscuits, etc that he and a mate had polished off in the front room and not tidied up with the words 'A little late-night snack-ette left by my son and his friend' and appeared not to put two and two together.

I didn't have the heart to tell her. I'm slightly alarmed that a sister of mine is that naive, tbh.

Poor thing - must have had an innocent upbringing

That's the thing, I'm sure she didn't. I'm pretty sure she used to talk about smoking dope when she was at University. I mean, I know she was never a drug taker on my scale, but I sort of assumed she'd dabbled, ffs!

I noticed that. It's the equivalent of the Angus steak house but amplified.

Also I was scared to even go near the door of these places or look at the menu as the bloke will pounce on you to come in

I too have noticed this and gathered that it was a front for people of dubious employ to offer their services.

But presumably you can get ribs, too?

Oh, no doubt about it. I just can't imagine that a city would have such huge demand for ribs.

There must be a code word that you say while ordering that gets you an upgrade to a dining area for 'valued customers'.
