Talking of snobby spastic, I'm going for lunch tomorrow with several friends and

Oh, I paid it. There was never any other likely outcome, I'm afraid.

Would black velvet be seen as a normal beverage to accompany seafood or is this merely a personal thing?

It's traditional with oysters. To be honest it may become my drink of choice on those infrequent occasions I am in a pub and ordering beer feels appropriate.

Perhaps troublesome unless you have a partner in crime as a bar may be unwilling to open a bottle of champagne in such an event.

You could of course simply commit to leathering the whole thing.

family members to celebrate the birthday of the glw. We are going to a rather nice seafood restaurant in Brighton.

A visit to a seafood restaurant means certain things to me. It means foaming tankards of black velvet, half a dozen natives and then lobsters or Dover Soles. It does not mean fillets of sea bass or pan-fried cod or any other standard fish dish I could cook for myself any day of the week. However, if I order what I would like, when it comes to splitting the bill, the majority of those present will shít themselves.

What should I do, Awimb? Compromise my beliefs and eat ordinary people's food? That would be dishonest. Insist on paying for everyone? That would be humiliating for the other gentlemen present. Just get on with it in a cheery spirit of 'fúck you'?

Here's what I do bro. I invited people to this famous LA bar, Musso and Frank. I tell them that the creamed carrots are absolutely on me. Have as much as you want, sh!theels. Beyond that, drinks etc., piss off. But you know what, they're okay with that. Them creamed carrots are delicious as fvck.

Creamed. Carrots.

What fresh hell is this?

I was at a birthday dinner on Saturday. The waitress came round to take our order and the options were.
Asparagus with schnitzel; asparagus with ham; asparagus with zander

Note: not schnitzel with asparagus etc - the normal way round. Plates came and there was some potatoes on one side, schnitzel on the other and five massive pieces of white asparagus taking up the whole middle of the plate. Needless to say I ate the meat and potatoes and ****ed the asparagus out the window. Germans are odd.

Unlimited quantities of the finest Weißbier I have ever tasted so wd the pub for that though

Oh I do love the Spargelzeit, la.

White asparagus. Will never understand the foreign obsession with the stuff. Green asparagus - delicious. White asparagus - flavourless, mushy and bland.
