Yes, he does a decent line in self-deprecating humour.

He's also not averse to throwing potentially leg-breaking tackles around, of course. Which is less funny.

Really? I've not noticed him ever really doing anything other than lurking in the box like a spastic looking to nod one in.

I would have thought his legs would be the first to break in any collision if I'm honest. Also, I believe he has a rather attractive but extremely vulgar scouser for a wife.

That, I'm afraid, is the extent of my Peter Crouch knowledge. Perhaps big nose has an anecdote for us.

BTW Friday is Barrafina day, followed by a play called The Goat. :-(

I believe the tortilla morceau (sp), suckling pig and some salad with pear were your recommendations? What of wine? Do they have a decent wine list or should we just do a drinkable rose or sparkling wine?

Tortilla morcilla. Don't neglect the specials board, naturally - especially seafood from the josper grill.

The wine list is entirely Spanish so I always ask the advice of the sommelier. I've never been disappointed, but then I've never encountered wine I didn't enjoy.

Not a bad choice for lunchtime if the weather's very hot. The French drink it with ice cubes. Refreshing and doesn't really count as alcohol.

:nod: Anything served with ice and less than 12% vol can be consumed guilt free.

Tastes like fúcking pish mind you, which is a drawback.

Couldn't give two fúcks what the French do either if pushed. I saw people drinking cider with ice cubes the other day.

I hope everyone does whatever they like to do and I hope they enjoy so doing, sw.

I have some rather charming rosé which I purchased at a small vineyard in Bordeaux last summer. Sadly, the vehicle was almost filled with cases of their delicious red, but I found room for a single case of the young, fresh rosé. I shall enjoy a bottle or two at the weekend.

I will admit that the practice is very commonplace here but to just willy nilly accuse of us of starting it is a little rich in my view.

Drinking cider was very common and normal in my formative years of the early 80s and never did I see a like minded chum reach for an ice tray or equivalent.

If anything I would point at the Brits for this, given your other abominations such as "top".

Yes.

Well, that's the Irish for you. All the sophistication of a pack of pork scratchings being consumed by someone in Adidas trainers swilling a pint of Super Bock (yes, I was envisioning you as I typed this).

Rose, particularly that from the Provence, is a wonderful summertime drink. Light, refreshing, tasty and very enjoyable.

And more than enough alcohol to make a chap forget the hell that is life in the 21st century. Oh yes. :nod:

You stalked me on the Algarve you half American pervert!!!

Not for me the whole Rosé thing but I am known for being open minded so each to their own. Modern Ireland and all that nonsense.

See our Taoiseach (PM) was over your neck of the woods yesterday. A poof you know.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but The Goat is utter crap.

What did you make of Leo's comments regarding his first visit to No. 10?
