Jesus, I thought I couldn't believe the time, I know the drinks are strong but still...so I rushed off to bed. Of course, it wasn't until the morning that Mrs Neely pointed out about all the silly clock business.
Tut, tut. Are they still harder to come by in the US? Even our corner shop only sells barn and free range now, which is great, good price too. I get mine from the market though, large free range eggs - 6 for a pound, that's just 2p more than Tesco sell their torture eggs for.Quote:
Just polished off a couple of hard boiled eggs. Sorry Neely, I doubt they were free range eggs.
Just polished off one of my home made pizzas and a bottle of Stella. Got a Duvel for tonight to help take away the Sunday night/Monday work feeling - god work is so depressing, there has to be a better way.
Cancel that. That woman has forgot to buy Duvel, not happy, she's always forgetting stuff. Looks like coffee and those horrid Stellas then. Low point.Quote:

Got to agree about the silly clock business. We must be the only country in the world that got rid of it and brought it back a few years later; and all because a couple of schoolkids were run over in Scotland.Quote:

What is it about British politicians that makes them so stupid?
Anyway, I am off to get a couple of beers from the store. I note that you fell asleep watching Woody Allen, and I'm going to tune in to another Poirot on YouTube; it's merely a question as to who falls asleep first.
New York Strip steak straight off the grill.
My apologies to Hank Hill, as I prefer to use charcoal and mesquite.
A side of ziti pasta with Parma Rosa sauce
and a botlle of Chianti.
.
Italian salad and a bottle of delicious Côtes du Rhône 2008.
Alphabet soup and half a chicken sandwich.
Alphabet soup?
Lucozade and paracetamols - horrible sickness.
Strawberry Kefir
Japanese crackers and spicy cashew nuts washed down with Warsteiner German beer; to be followed by a bottle of Leffe blonde.
Carr's crackers with Swiss cheese and Beck's Dark beer.
.
Back on the Chianti with prawn cocktail crisps, salt and vinega Hula Hoops and cheese and onion Mini Cheddars.
The chianti sounds nice, the nibbles a little excessive perhaps?
Yorkshire tap water with ice cubes (still too ill for proper drink) served in one of those steel lidded cups for extra coldness. Taking it in the bath with Virgina Woolf at that lighthouse of hers. In-between essays so I thought I would treat myself.:rolleyes5:
That's bound to raise a few eyebrows; the last time you reported, you were in the bath with Mary Wollstonecraft. You really ought to cure yourself of this desire to take baths with feminist writers; I'm sure that no good will come of it. What is the cause of the indisposition that deters you from drinking a decent beverage?Quote:

Coke.
Milk.
Chicken Caesar Salad, and cookies.
Milk...with hazelnut instant coffee.
a plummy tempranillo
Egg Salad and Côtes du Rhône 2008.
Vanilla-ey coffee.
Not much because I've been following the pre-Cambrian diet - some of the recipes are 570 million years old! Where can you get half a cup of protozoa from these days?
500 mg acetaminophen, 500 mg aspirin, 130 mg caffeine
cheese Doritos
I'll have what she's havingQuote:

captain and coke mmmmm
Crackers. Mmm...
General Tzo's chicken. Spicy and yummy.
A pre-Cambrian diet? Why, pray tell, dear MystyrMystry????
I'm just having a cup of coffee with lots of milk and sugar in it :nod:
It's good to see the quality beer flow.
Last night I had myself a Budvar and Duvel as well. Got another for tonight and a bottle of Brooklyn lager, have to give that a try.
Right now I've got some new coffee, as I'm still on the trail to find some decent coffee. I somewhat optimistically picked up Sainsbury's New York style half caff yesterday in hope - I'll try that one.
Brooklyn lager, New York style half caff?Quote:

Ha, ha perhaps. Life imitates art, life imitates art.Quote:

Going in the bath with one of those poor Stellas, then I'm having the Brooklyn and a Duvel later. Need to get in the bath with a book, Woolf again or maybe my pink economic text book?
I do hope that the Brooklyn beer doesn't resemble sterilised Hudson river water but I would keep the Duval until last, just in case.Quote:

As for the coffee, I usually rely on Kenco's South American countries; I don't think that supermarket own brands are to be relied on. Right now, I am back on the Cote du Rhone 2008 with an Italian salad. I keep telling myself that it's naughty to be drinking red wine with salad but, although I would never drink red with fish, I'm unable to resist it in most other instances.
Oh boy this Brooklyn beer is tops. Shame I only got one bottle, but once bitten...It’s light and delicate, but with a very powerful mouth feel and long nutty/bittersweet aftertaste, definitely recommended for a one-off. Looking forward to my Duvel though.Quote:

Your right about supermarket coffee, but I was town in Sainsbury’s the other day and there was absolutely nothing else. Douwe Egberts in the silver packet used to be readily drinkable, but I can’t find that blend anywhere, only the green packet one which is no good. I’m lost without Pollards, it’s a damn shame.
Red wine and salad eh, where’s the white? I adore red wine but I just cannot drink it without food. And after one or two glasses I need the coldness of beer/cider but then the mixture plays hell with me, so I tend to avoid generally. Maybe if you stick some cheese in that salad you can get away with it.
Sorry Neely,Quote:
