Kebabs!
 
I'm eating a kebab and I'm only a little bit drunk!
Would prefer chicken like, but this'll do pig. Or should I say, lamb.

So to make this an acceptable post, what proper British thing do you fancy right now?

Big expatty loves to you all (especially you, Serrano :eek:)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You must be drunk.
Since when has a kebab been British food? Agreed they're sold all over the UK.

Me - was going to make Yorkshire puds the other evening and decided that I couldn't be bothered and it was too bloody hot to put the oven on.
Would have been nice to just nip to the chippy and get fish and chips, mushy peas and a small curry sauce.

TO be fair, when I'm Britain and I'm drunk, I usually just get chips and garlic sauce, but as I've recently discovered the very friendly kebab lads round the corner from me, and as I was walking home thinking, "What I need is something to eat that just magically appears in my hand", I thought "Hey! Kebab!" And thus I willed it into being.

I really miss chips and gravy, though that's a very northern thing so I'm told...and a nice bit of Sarson's malt vinegar...mmmm...on your chips, in your soup, poaching your egg...you love it, you know you do...

P.S. It is too bloody hot to put t'oven on, although saying that I've got no t'oven anyway :( I miss baking. :'(

Northerners are the best, especially northern chippies. Discuss. :p

I can handle chips and gravy but I prefer a bit of chippy curry sauce.

Got some real crumpets in the freezer. Might take a few out now and have them for brekkie. Could so with some Lurpak though.

Oh my, crumpets?! Butter (or marg if you're poor!) and a good hour or so of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Amazing.

Ladies, we need to get drunk and talk palle in person methinks... :P

If I didn't have to go to school tomorrow and try and get the idiot lads in middle school to at least pretend to listen - I'd already be drunk after hosting Chloe's birthday party and having at least 20 screaming dancing and football playing kids all over the place.

It was with great difficulty that I stopped drinking after half a litre and didn't open a bottle of prosecco later on. I opened a can of coke instead.

Right love - that's me done for the night.
This time 11 years ago Chloe was 5 minutes old and I'm as knackered now as I was then.

Chat soon.

I found Lurpak in the local supermarket!
Think they are a chain supermarket it's called Familia.
But since I don't like butter I buy margarine.
