that Hayley McQueen does something for me.
What's for lunch?
Where does Lacazette fit in now? I think it's actually good for him takes the pressure off of him. I like him.
Something is changing at the club not sure what it is. But we've offed Giroud, Oxlade, Walcott, Coq and Debuchy (though I don't count him as he's probably played less than 20 games for us)
the other teams results last night cheered me up a bit.
will I ever hear in Stereo again.
There is a switch on the wall in the office that has a label on it saying 'TV Cameras' should I press it?

Is there a sign saying 'do not press'?

If not, give it go. Let us know what happens :thumbup:

As far as lunch is concerned, I've not decided yet. I did have some leftover Katsu chicken curry in the fridge, but the wife has snaffled it for her lunch. This means a whole world of lunchy possibilities stretches out before me.

Leftover curry. An oxymoron if you will. Did you turn poove for the night?

As long as we continue to abandon the defensive side of our game, it won't matter how many stellar forwards we sign.
Why is it that Breakfast TV employ so many grade A c unt presenters, in comparison to the rest of the broadcasting day ?

I'm thinking of falafel in a pita with guacamole from this place directly across from the Cheshire Cheese. Although that might tempt me into a few pints of ale in the Cheshire Cheese instead of going to the gym. :rubchin:

I don't like all this nonsense. If we sell our players and replace them with new players, we're a different team. I don't want to support a different team.

I have some leftover bol but no bread. Perhaps I will reheat if with a can of flageolet beans. That sounds perfectly repulsive.

Could you not just eat it with a spoon? Or in a baked potato?

I am going to the curry house tonight.

I shall have one of the house special dishes I haven't had before and a chicken vindaloo. Onion rice too.

There will be no leftovers, mark my words.

But those players replaced a bunch of players who replaced a bunch of winners, who replaced a bunch of other winners sometimes who replaced a load of rubbish who replaced winners and so on.

Potato at lunchtime seems wrong, somehow.

Buying bread would mean going out. To be honest, I very rarely leave the secured compound these days. When I look at Twitter and see the madness without, I am filled with anxiety and wish only to remain safe inside my gates :-(

To be fair I wouldn’t expect there to be from a fine upstanding chap like yourself. I expect you shall also have poppadums’ and lime pickle, chapati or roti sure why not.

There is a sense of flux around the Arsenal family today, one is reporting “left over curry” while another is speaking of falafel with guacamole. Funny thing the whole January transfer window.

You get both. It is made with hummus in the traditional manner and then topped up with a bit of guacamole because guacamole is delicious and adds to the falafel experience. You have to go early doors if you want guacamole because they run out of it sharpish such is the demand.

Yum.

I always say I'm going to have something different whenever I order a curry, but always end up having an onion bhaji, meat dhansak, mushroom rice and keema naan. Because that's what I like. :shrug:

Falafels are for self-hating vegans and socialists, surely? They are designed to suck any possible joy out of eating.

That is not a derogatory comment or an invitation for an argument, simply that you are established as a food snob and as such these are the type of things a food snob would do. The type of thing that an ordinary person would simply dismiss as too much hassle, but ultimately where the result would be good.

Yes. One has to admire Johnny Levantine for looking at something as unpromising as the chick pea and managing to get so much out of it, really.

I have experimented with making my own bread and, in fairness, it was a pain in the hole. I have further experimented with a breadmaker, and the results were utter shíte.

I do regularly make my own flatbreads, which is pretty simple, but I can't be ársed getting flour everywhere at lunchtime.

Vindaloo, IUFG? Respect. :bow:

Whilst I enjoy hot food, I'm afraid that would push the bounds of reason for me. Especially considering the experience the following morning. :-(

Unlikely. I do have some Homepride plastic bread in the freezer. Perhaps I will have bolognese on toast.

The heat and consistency differ. I like the lentilly element of dhansak.

For me, a curry shop curry is about predictability. I don't want innovation or surprise, I want the curry that's in my head when I order the thing.

You are narrow minded and full of hate so your comments don’t surprise me.

I go to a place on Dame Street, no idea of their origin but certainly not Irish. I order a Palestinian as below but ask them to leave out the cucumber pickles as we all know they are fúcking rank. I substitute one or two of the long green chilli things that you get on kebabs but I point at them as I am unsure of what they are and don’t want to cause a social faux pas.

The Palestinian Falafel €6
Palestinian bread: Pocket full of hummus, tomato, cucumber pickles, fried aubergine, flat parsley and chilli & tahini sauce


I serve them with a packet of Tayto on the side like they do in nice cafes.

Plastic bread is perfect for the job imo. You want something yielding and absorbent.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Yes, but having been frozen, it must be toasted. Once bread has been frozen it requires re-cooking to take away the freezer cooties.

Do you see?

Yes, they are, but consider a watermelon. Now consider how you would fit it into a glass and drink it. If you can manage that without juicing it, you're a fúcking genius.

Iskanders also on Dame Street, about 100 yards away, does a shawarma meal for €8 – lamb, chicken or mixed + chips + drink. Always get lamb.

I put the chips in the bread and roll it all up.
