[Maravilloso Marvo]

So Mrs Marve has been a long time follower on Facebook of a chap who shares all sorts of cooking recipes and stuff. His name is Nikos something or other and he has apparently got a small cult following on there. Anyway, Mrs Marve fell in love with this halloumi and mint bread thing this chap had posted and proceeded to bake it at the weekend. Seems like there is some kind of Greek/Cypriot influence in this chap and his food, certainly not a recipe I would dream up.

Anyway, the finished result was okay. More edible when warm as with halloumi it goes a bit rubbery when cold. I had a bit and then the rest unfortunately fell in the bin when nobody was looking.

I wait excitedly to see what we will be having next weekend.

Halloumi? In bread? Sounds appalling. Halloumi needs lubrication. I like to slice it, flour it and sauté it, adding lime juice, capers and coriander at the end. Served on mixed leaves this makes a pleasing hors d'oeuvre.

Your mate Nicos sounds a bit wrong.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

It was a whole block, grated into the mix. I don't know how these Turkish lot come up with it. Personally I have never done anything more than slice halloumi, browned in a dry pan and eaten immediately, sometime with a drizzle of honey if I am feeling particularly promiscuous.

My man Nikos is unfortunately a bit wrong on occasions, but he does take a lovely picture of a Mandarin Duck.

there's an argument to say that Awimb could have been a much better environment had we embraced some of those things. Imagine how harmonious we could all have been, saving money collectively, enjoying recipes and not enjoying people unfortunately falling off cliffs.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Do you follow him on Twitter? He still hunts down anti Arsenal people and calls them out. Quite right too.

With a few exceptions I feel we have generally been harmonious. Certainly, some of our humour has been somewhat robust, but we've all known each other long enough to recognise what is said in jest.

Now fúck off.

I was going to say there hasn't been a flounce for a while. But as this board is just you and Berni ensuring you don't use up your T-Mobile monthly text allowance, I guess its not really possible anymore.

Saw a tweet from Jorge saying that he broke down and cried at the injustices of the world the other day.

He finally broke me the other evening. After years of reading his juvenile nonsense and gently ribbing him, something he said just broke my banjo string and I gave him a good ****ing, then blocked him.

Pathetic, spineless little ****.

Him, not you. Wait. Maybe both of you.

Any recipes for well cooked lamb?

[Ash]

He didn't flounce, he left. Flouncing requires an announcement imo. As in "THAT'S IT! I'M LEAVING FOREVER!!!111!!!" or perhaps a Cartmanesque "Screw you guys, I'm gerrng herrrm."

How was Ullswater?

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Billy GM "Any recipes for well cooked lamb?"

:nod:
He said to cook on a low temperature for 36 hours, drizzle with Tabasco, place on a slab of feta cheese and serve with a glass of chilled Chardonnay :cheers:

Extremely pretty. Lightweights that we are, the snow stopped us venturing very much upwards (aside from a memorably tough trudge up through deep snow to High Street) but we did plenty around lakes and so on. The best bit was probably a day sitting in the lounge with a roaring fire watching the snow fall on St Sunday Crag.

Planning our next trip now.

Yes, the feet have to climb over the snow every step, as well as up the mountain. High Street in such conditions is good work imo. :thumbup:

I've been up High Street 5 or 6 times now and every time I forget how hard it is. This time was the hardest climb I've ever done, by a margin.

:hehe: Just looked it up. He really oughtn’t to have tried to use your dad against you. Given that he did, I feel he got off lightly. You could have been much more forensically cruel. But you’re too nice. I’ve always said so.
Must admit, I’ve been tempted many times to lay into him on Twitter when I’ve seen his more fùckwitted utterances. I’ve resisted the temptation. It’s not been easy.

I’m not proud of myself for losing my temper, but I feel sort of cleansed to be free of him now.

Oh? What's his dad done this time? Troublesome creatures, those. Mine seems to spend all his time gallivanting to and from and occasionally stopping by to drink my best whisky before taking off again.

In fairness though, that's more or less what I used to do to him in my formative years :-\

[Ash]

My word. Almost as many times as you've been up Monty's mum, as I believe they say.

Actually I mean The Knott, rather than High Street itself, come to think of it. It’s the Knott that’s the tough bit.

I would like to ask Sir C if he has received a telegram from Jack Frost yet

He needs hamstringing for that. The cünt.

They don't have telegrams any more, sod. You're living in 1977, your living room decorated like David O'Leary's in this week's centre spread.

Well I’ve met j and I was much nastier to him than that.
But I have a mean streak a mile wide. Sir C doesn’t. He’s a lovely chap.

You're awfully kind. It's true, I have mellowed significantly, it's true. When I look back, I used to be a proper nasty *******.

I suspect your mean streak is mainly a matter of bluster, to be honest. You're not the type to be truly unpleasant.

[redgunamo]

Yes, I seem to recall you mentioning you had two older female siblings.

Perhaps. But there’s a real joy - albeit fleeting - in being truly nasty, isn’t there?
I do sometimes wonder if it’s entirely normal to experience it.

If you derive pleasure from being nasty you're a fúcking sicko. :shrug:

Cold-bloodedly, yes. But I’m talking about in the moment when the blood is up. You feel ashamed afterwards, but it doesn’t alter the pleasure you took in it then.

I don't remember his exact words but looking back he did see himself as being a bit too stubborn at the time, that the Arsenal fans opinion of him does hurt
No regrets ABOUT the move though (to further his career) - just the machinations and his attitude at the time

[Viva Prat Vegas]

His Combined Arsenal/Chelsea Xi contained
Cech (his best position)
One of theirs at RB
Sol and JT in the middle
Himself at LB

Vieira and Lamps in the middle of the park
Bobby P on one wing
Someone from Chels on the other

Drogba and Henry up front (Carra was positively spitting at Cole for elbowing Bergkamp for Drogba)
