Members Tedster Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 Oh next time. You sure you want two ne'er-do-wells like Deb and I darkening your doorstep?

And, for another...I've got to do me CD properly and do a couple of backup gigs for Dave (Lakeside Studios) band, "The Shrinks". That would RaWk!!

Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 I've only caught a couple of episodes, but I've enjoyed what I've seen. Fantastic writing that keeps you guessing. Be mindful of how the storyline jumps from the present to the recent past. Sometimes it moves so fast and fluid between the two tenses that some folks have a hard time keeping up.... Other shows with absolutely phenominal writing: - Oz (HBO) - Deadwood (HBO) - Six Feet Under - Rescue Me - The Simpsons (you knew that was coming, didn't ya!) There's lots more, but I'm lazy and the coffee (mmmm...tasty, too) hasn't hit me yet. Cheers! Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 BTW...notice how I didn't poke fun at you for the *snort, chuckle* karaoke "thing"? I'm just that nice. Cheers!Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lee Flier Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 Originally posted by Tedster Yeah, the "plus tax" thing sucks, but, I think it's worse going into a McDonald's over there... whereas a quarter pounder meal here is like 4 bucks, over there it's four as well...POUNDS...which is like almost 8 bucks. So... lemme get this straight... you went all the way to England just to pay 8 bucks for McDonald's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Base Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 But this is England, my dear, even in McDonalds all our restaurants look like this and we are waited on with silver service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 The "service" may be silver, but the food is probably still rotten, right? Cheers!Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 Originally posted by Base But this is England, my dear, even in McDonalds all our restaurants look like this and we are waited on with silver service... "I'll have the McBeef Wellington with a bottle of McCabernet Sauvignon, please" :D Actually, in some cases the McDonalds were great to duck into for a quick restroom break. I did have a Chicken McCurry sandwich, because you'd never get curry at a McDonald's here. It wasn't kickass curry, but I had to try it. And Base, I only mention the karaoke bar because, you know, we were DUPED into believing it was regular live music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 One thing that occurred to me, was perhaps that the "Indian Cuisine" restaurants were sort of like the "Mexican Cuisine" over here. You can't get Mexican food over there (and if you could, I'm not sure you'd want it). But, it might make for an interesting enterprise, as Mexican food is quite popular here.

I know, I felt so dirty Sure we get mexican restaurants over here, they just aren't all that common, which is a shame because I love mexican food. Didn't get a chance to try any when I was in the states. Chiquito's are the most common here, they're a chain, they're ok, nothing too hot tho. There's a one-off called Down Mexico Way in London that is pretty good too. Fajita's are quite common in many restaurants with a general menu (ie, not country specific).I've tried cooking my own mexican recipes, but as there aren't many places for me to sample it, I don't know if I make it right, and my tolerance to hot food is probably woefully inadequate to cope with the real-thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 The thought just occured to me (whilst I eat my turkey sammich) that this thread should be renamed to "...next!! vers. 2.0" Put it to a vote.

Members blackpig Posted August 10, 2005 Members Share Posted August 10, 2005 My God this is so pointless. I have to post stuff though. Did yez know that a mad Irish writer once invented trousers with really long pockets for storing bottles of Guinness? He went on to refine the idea with rubber lining in the pockets so one could store draught beer too. You had to be carefull not to sit down too quickly.
