Can you show me how to cook to? I also need some expert tips on being a sommelier. :)

[brexitplus] 21/12/2018 17:41

Minerve, there I used that name since it’s Christmas

Indeed you can, but only if you make the cast personally. Shall we arrange a date and place. Not in Wales though.

Fully intend to have a great Christmas. Spent the day final Christmas shopping in Guildford with family. Now enjoying a small sherry before dinner while reading The Chimp Paradox.

I had exactly the same response in a pub in Caernarfon many years ago as you B+, during the time the adverts for British Coal were on. If you remember " Come home to a real fire....buy a holiday home in Wales...!".

I too have many family members from South Wales - Neath, Port Talbot, Caerphilly and Cardiff - to a man they say the North Welsh are an embarrassment, probably rubs off on the Scousers who are closet Welsh anyway, lol.

Exciting times for Devon and Cornwall, might be getting 'lectric for Chrimbo....hahahaha.

Wishing you all a very Merry Xmas and an enjoyable meal in 'Bill's' (whatever that is).

You are indeed the icon of a Little Englander. May I take a cast of your skull until the original one becomes available? 😂

[minerve] 21/12/2018 17:35

Have a good Christmas Brexit. Hope you don't bump into anyone from North Wales! LOL

At what point does a Welsh person's domicile change between a Welsh person you dislike and one you like? Is Llanidloes the mid-point and can we use a straight line of Latitude to predict your love/hate decision? ROFLMAO!

[brexitplus] 21/12/2018 17:32

I agree. A great definition of Remainers.

[minerve] 21/12/2018 17:27

Sad old men still stuck in their little cliques. What ignorant, insular fools. Small-minded buffoons.

Everybody knows someone like brexitplus. All communities have at least one.
Around here we call ours the 'village blowbag'.

When you see them coming down the street or into the pub, you either get your head down or make a quick exit.

😁😁😁😂8514;😂

I do not hate the 3 million People living in Wales, whereas

You do hate the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit, even Labour and Liberal voters

Which is worse?

[brexitplus] 21/12/2018 14:29

Meanwhile, I think you are just jealous because of lack of civilisation and too many Welsh where you live.

Jackdaw, the pork was delicious.

brexit, the Cotswold Sage, boasts again. He keeps us all informed of his movements and his achievements as if he were the Prime Minister or the Queen.

"My favourite cafe is in Bristol. Run by Turks, a great all day breakfast is £5.85. They also do good Sunday lunches where I showed the cook how to make fantastic pork crackling."
"Am off to Hampshire for a few days… Don’t expect to post much….
I’m sure getting will make up the the shortfall!!!"

I'll bet the cook wanted to have a full day with brexit going right through the menu, plus a bit of management mentoring, but brexit couldn't spare the time.

You will be sadly missed when in Hampshire but at least you've appointed your loyal stooge, getting, who will be bragging and boasting for you.

He may be a braggart of the first water, but he provides great entertainment for many of us. Step it up, brexit, in 2019, with more on dining and tutoring achievements.

Brave man eating pork cooked by a Turk.

[brexitplus] 21/12/2018 08:21

So touchy.

My favourite cafe is in Bristol. Run by Turks, a great all day breakfast is £5.85. They also do good Sunday lunches where I showed the cook how to make fantastic pork crackling.

But quite honestly, Bill’s doesn’t match up to this little cafe for quality or quantity of the food, or price and customer service. Few chains do.

The owner greets everyone, we shake hands on arrival and leaving, and enjoy a friendly banter.

And it is frequented by students, pensioners and business people.

Hard to beat, and certainly not by Bill’s.

It might be upmarket to some brexit. Stop looking at things from your position.

[brexitplus] 20/12/2018 22:49

Up market!!!😁😁😁

I think I would take sandwiches.

[gettingrichslow] 20/12/2018 19:53

Yes I'm afraid it does rather look like it's a table for two at Bill's with Minerve for B+. You're going to have to do it this time given its the second time you've won it. But it's not over yet. They might announce Nortek has been flogged for $20bn to a Sovereign Wealth Fund tomorrow.

[yertiz] 20/12/2018 19:33

Well done - worthy winner. Don't forget to take a wet flannel with you to wipe down the spittle, ear plugs to drown out the boring monotone and the Samaritans phone number.

[brexitplus] 20/12/2018 17:42

Sadly, looks increasingly that I will win the share price competition. Never mind, roll on 2019.

[sogoesit] 20/12/2018 13:08

Thanks jackdaw... let's hope for the best in 2019.
Happy Crimble All!
