I really hope me and Bil are like chalk & cheese - I of course am the cheese, you'll want to wrap me up and take home to eat later!
When you send your no can you make sure it's whatever I'd need to dial from a Mobile when in Spain?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the kind words (and you too Debs.). It was good fun meeting up with you and Mal in Vejer. Look forward to doing it again after September.

By then Jan will be out full time and the two mad dogs with her.

You're back!! Hope you had a lovely break - did you teach all those pesky locals a good smattering of gods own tongue for me like I asked??

Hi Bil, welcome back!!
Some people on here have needed your strong hand, I can tell you!!
I`ve also missed your postings about what you are having for dinner! We had a `perfect weekend` thread a while ago... and I put you down as being in mine...... don`t tell your wife!

Had an excellent time thanks, and got a lot done. Talking of food, I plan to try adding some mashed chicken liver to the stew to try and thicken it. I saw it on a food programme and thought I'd give it a try. Trouble is that kind of thing leads to a thickening of the waistline. This time I managed to get my weight all the way down to 11 stone 7 pounds, by working so hard I forgot to eat. It's taken me the best part of 4 years to achieve that, so I don't want to slip back. Still, I do like my food.

Perfect weekend? In all honesty, I think that for me it would be the situation where you are no longer aware that it is the weekend. Add good food and wine, and season with friends with whom one can talk, or be silent with. I'd be perfectly happy with the people on here like you and Christine, but we would need someone like Leigh or Matt along as they provide the yeast, zest, call it what you will. Trolls are simply bloody minded idiots, but you do need someone to stir the mix a bit.

Oh good, lets stir the shite up again shall we?

Just what the forum needs eh?

As I said, it needs zest, not just bloodymindedness.

You know you love it.... you`ve missed him too... I can tell.

I love chicken livers Bil. For me, there is no end to your culinary talents... you continue to make me drool !

yep.... like a weeping sore

You don`t fool me.

Ahhh, bless. Isn't he sweet?

I can never understand why people pay so much for calves liver when chicken liver is so cheap and so good!

you're right, I stayed my hand from deleting my account this week simply to hear back from the dog killer.

I wholly agree... on both statements.

I believe you. And now you will be on cloud 9
