Not guilty.

I got nine pints of Doom Bar and consequently the wrong train. Ended up in bleeding Rochester, didn't I?

I think Wetherspoons gets a bad press and I am going to take a stand to defend them.

Yes, within their chain of over 1000 pubs there is ****holes, like the one on Highbury Corner. Yes some of their clientele may be chaps you would not want to socialise with, nor invite into your house – but then this would apply to the clientele of virtually every pub in your so called United Kingdom and also in Ireland.

I was very fond of some of their pubs back in the day.

The one in Croydon is I suspect a fúcking shíthouse, kind of goes with the area.

[Burney]

Not guilty? NOT FÛCKING GUILTY?!!?!!

The police wouldn't go to all the bother of making a case against someone if they weren't guilty, would they?

What was the case?

My rare forays into these establishments have inevitably seen me confronted by hoards of toothless, desperate alcoholics. Or, as we call them, 'Irishmen'.

One of our party ordered 'food'. This 'food' simply defied description.

I quite understand the business model but, as with airlines, dragging standards down to reach absolute bare-bottom costs will only result in attracting a certain clientele: chaps, with all due respect, such as yourself.

Someone at the CPS wants a good kick in the slats for this one.

50 year old woman living in 'supported' accomodation, due to heroin addiction, schizophrenia and psychotic episodes. Her twin brother loses his flat due to heroin addiction and comes to stay for a while. One day they have a bit of a row. She ends up with a bruise on the shoulder. Next day the accomodation manager calls the police. Brother and sister are so monged on both prescription and non-prescription drugs that they neither remember, nor care, exactly what went on, and can barely answer questions intelligibly, but he ends up charged with assault.

Absolute nonsense. Unanimous 'not guilty' within 30 seconds of entering the deliberating room. :judge:

What a waste of time and money.

:nod: Haterz will hate. I like the Coronet, and they can be useful for a midday fry-up too. Often a better pint than supposed 'decent' pubs because they have a busier throughput and the pint of choice is less likely to be out of date.

Bunch of ****s. As a jury you should have demanded a resignation and an apology to the general public.

Sausages, lamb chop, pork chop, steak, chicken breast, mushroom, peas and chips. Hard to cock that up imo.

I have never been a fan of the chop. It simply doesn't work for me.

[Burney]

The pork chop is generally a sad and lifeless thing, I agree. The lamb chop, however, if delicately handled, is a splendid and toothsome thing.

That said, if you're eating a Wetherspoon's mixed grill, it's mostly about cramming enough protein, fat and carbohydrate into your system to make the pain stop, so one isn't too picky.

The lamb chop has too much fat on it for me. Not bloody cheap either.

The pork chop, cooked pink, with a good layer of fat and a rind of crispy skin, is a noble cut. Finding good quality pork is the real issue - a supermarket chop is a dry, bland creature, to be sure.

I dunno about him being a feminist, p. After all, he clearly punched his sister. Is that the act of a feminist?

Look, mate, take it up with Mr Wetherspoon.

So he WAS guilty? I bloody knew it.

Good point. And, worse, chicken breast? Is there a more lifeless piece of meat than the unadorned chicken breast?

What about the woman's right to choose? This woman chose heroin and wasn't interested in the assault charge. But the feminists demand that the police throw her brother to the wolves, dragging her through a court case and potentially interrupting a pleasant morning of heroin.

They have no respect at all.

I took to making yorkshires with every roast at one point last winter. It felt transgressive, but it was good.

After all, why should the noble Yorkshire pudding be restricted to beef? Why?

I must make yorkshire pudding one day. We never have milk in the house, that's my issue.

I imagine everyone's consumption of heroin has been horribly interrupted, p. Indeed, the poor chap probably went without throughout this process and last night returned to his normal dose, only for his resistance to have dropped in the interim - causing him immediately to die of an overdose.

Basically, Sir C's killed him.

I would buy an old bottle from ebay but none of then have the foil lid

I try to avoid any contact with them if I can manage it.

You have a point, of course, but Sir C definitely had a hand in his murder by failing to do the right thing and find the poor chap guilty.

Just think, if he was tucked up safe in nick right now, he'd get three square meals a day and all the heroin he could eat. As it is, he's probably now lying dead on the floor of some ghastly shīthole in New Addington.

[Burney]

Fair enough. You can freeze milk for cooking purposes. Or even use that UHT filth, I suppose.

Failing that, you could always water down double cream.
