No class. Like a GF with SLs/STD. Stay as you are Getting. Sounds fun.

There again I agree with Seville, or perhaps Porto.

[minerve] 03/9/2018 15:35

Turn the numpty down and take your wife to Seville or somewhere like that. You are past Vegas now. That's for crazies and kids.

[minerve] 03/9/2018 15:33

You mix with some company of no class whatsoever. Vegas, Minis?

Come on getting, acquire some class for goodness sake.

MW. If you have a tin of corned beef there is nothing better than corned beef hash. My version is crushed potatoes, fried onions, diced red peppers, fried mushrooms and corned beef. Served with buttered steamed cabbage and a large dollop of tomato ketchup.

She has always had Minis. She tried an Audi on a test drive but didn't like it - thought it was dull, not quirky enough inside. So another Mini it is - I think it's her 8th new one in last 7 years. My friend who owns the company is taking 18 of us all to Vegas in October to celebrate his company's success. That is likely to be a weekend of serious excess - not really my cup of tea but it would be very rude to turn down the offer.

“My GF has SLs.” Is that a STD?

Sounds very nasty. Should get a blood test immediately and have Yertiz test it. He’s an expert you know.

[sogoesit] 03/9/2018 15:29

Reminds me of compo rations from the ‘70’s!!

Getting. Mini Countryman looks an excellent car, but have never driven one. I’m too tall. No good if you have a chauffeur like m. Not enough room in the back for a captain of industry.

As long as you wife likes it that’s all that matters.

Do you think m eats roast beef? Probably only in the finest restaurants, if at all.

[meanwhile] 03/9/2018 15:25

How about this as a substitute for those not able to afford roast beef?

Take a large tin of corned beef and cut into half inch chunks. Immerse the chunks in a pan of simmering onion gravy. Continue to simmer for 3 minutes.
Serve with chips and marrowfat peas and wash down with a 2018 Coke Zero.
It takes some beating, I can tell you, especially on the mountainside.

My GF has SLs. The 500 was nice when you could get them - new, of course. Nice V8 motor with designo interior. Mini? Yuck! Yuck! Nothing to be proud of there. I would be embarrassed to drive one.

[minerve] 03/9/2018 15:21

Yuck. Mini Countryman? What a horrible car. Says it all.

[brexitplus] 03/9/2018 15:16

Getting. What about your beef eating habits?

[brexitplus] 03/9/2018 15:16

Sounds brilliant Yertiz. Is that the same breed as Ruby Red which I’ve heard is lovely beef?

We too have a great local butcher. He provides me with rare breed belly pork which I cure to make bacon which is close to pancetta. All of his beef, which comes from local farms, is hung for at least 28 days and is beautiful. When he butchers for a new farmer, such is his reputation, he lets me try the meat for my opinion. Works well for me!!!

Must admit, I’ve never heard of rolled tag.

I’m sure m has a heart, just a very small one.

[gettingrichslow] 03/9/2018 15:14

Just ordered the new Mini Countryman for Mrs GRS. She loves new cars. Hasn't had a new one for almost 9 months now! And before anyone asks, I know I know, new cars are money down the drain blah blah but not when you have a friend who runs a car company...

[yertiz] 03/9/2018 14:55

Having high blood pressure implies you have a heart - 'nuff said.


Roast beef is my specialty. You do need an excellent cut from excellent beef. I recommend Red Devon rolled tag, hung for 28 days or more in the right conditions and prepared by a butcher that knows his cuts and suppliers. Fortunately I have close links with such a butcher.

Rolled tag - the meat between sirloin and topside, just the right amount of fat and when properly hung, cuts like butter.

[brexitplus] 03/9/2018 14:42

M, you really are a sad case. Perhaps you should see a shrink, although I fear it may be too late.

And your blood pressure must be sky high. Perhaps Yertiz can advise.

[minerve] 03/9/2018 14:36

I have nothing in common with people like Brexit. I can't wait until his cohort are six foot under. Not too long to go I hope. No offence to you MEANWHILE, I know you are a decent person, regardless of our differences. I wish your son every success, I really do. You understand his challenges, Brexit doesn't believe there are any.

[gettingrichslow] 03/9/2018 14:33

At least we all agree we need to get out of the EU asap!

[meanwhile] 03/9/2018 14:32

We don't eat roast beef here. My last roast beef was many years ago and I have no memories of it.
I eat hamburgers though.

[minerve] 03/9/2018 14:29

What's that empty balls?

[brexitplus] 03/9/2018 14:29

Ok MW, roast beef. You start.

Or perhaps, the most you can drink before lunch. In that case m should start, the old soak.

[meanwhile] 03/9/2018 14:28

Now, come on now. This is getting us nowhere. We should look for common ground, something we can agree on.
What about roast beef? Can we exchange stories of the best roast beef dinners we've had? And the amounts we've eaten at a single sitting.
