Sorted for tonight; 10oz rib-eye, baguette, watercress, horseradish.
Tomorrow I'm considering a visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard followed by an all-you-can-eat chinese buffet. Pork balls in cold, congealing orange fluorescent gloop ahoy! The trouble is, the guilt and self-loathing which will follow :-(
What plans for adventure do you have this weekend?
I'm going to fly to Sicily and stay there for a week.Quote:

British GP, Wombledon final and Euro final on Sunday.Quote:

I do love the way you appear to have gone from your wild 20s to stolid middle age with no apparent intervening period of adjustment. :hehe:Quote:

In fact I am getting too old for outdoor gigs in general, and they are ****. **** them. Think I will stay in.
I know it surprises me too. 5 years ago I was just about to book my first Las Vegas trip wearing ill fitting strange design t-shirts.Quote:
