I would Pat, honestly, but I'm afraid you missed the boat and I'm back home again now. Anyway in all reality I would probably have been to busy wiping my arse on all kinds of publications due to some of the more bizarre requests I received on here. Some people....

heheheh.. that is OK Mister Sprout. DH says it's better for his waistline that you, er he didn't have one.
As he wisely points out... 'Not everyone likes the aspic'. (duuh!)

I used to mostly deal with a guy called Ewan, he was an engineer. Can't remember his last name, but Ewan isn't too common

Are you still hungry - open invitation next Saturday at 6.30pm.

Yep you are absolutely right Tonrob; I was just after a decent cheese butty. Did my request sound poncy? . . oh i'm so ashamed (hangs her head in shame).

M & S Scottish smoked Salmon and herbed cream cheese sarnie - yummy.

Just made some chicken biriyani - so I'm off to stuff my face!

Hmmm.... I fear I must turn my back on curry for a while. Six in six days was no way to kick off the New Year diet!

Can you pick up a jar of Asda's own brand Rogan Josh base curry sauce?

And as I've been deprived of it, I'm craving it, so please just drink it neat, right out of the jar.

Thanks.
