Mentioning Del Boy has reminded me. going back to Adams night there was a piece of music playing when the guests arrived. This has been played in OFAH as well but does anyone know what its called. Its a famous instrumental track I have herd it loads of times.
If they ever come to my neck of the woods, I may apply - I just decided! I wouldn't do a cassoulet or anything resembling that for a dinner party; it doesn't seem refined enough for me. And I would hope that I would have water and salt and pepper on the table, but toothpicks just don't seem right to me, even a little vulgar.
I caught the end of one this week and she wants toothpicks on the table.... that's just plain gross isn't it. You want to floss or something like that go to the bathroom.
The thing with me is if I am having a dinner party my partner will help by laying the table and doing things like putting water out (yes I may ask for him to do that) but that does mean I have 5 more mins in the kitchen or shower. Its the little things and the pressure of having to do it all yuorself would be too much for me when trying to win £1k.

Wouldn't people just suck bits of stuck food out or use their tongues and so forth? Oh yes, she can't do that because she has injected her face with plastic.
To quote the late Darth Vader, I find her laquered face disturbing.
Um, love, no self-respecting restaurant uses chocolate with less than 70% cocoa solids for its mousses, tarts, etc. God forbid, anybody would want a more chocolatey mousse, eh?
Remember this time last week when the winner threw the notes in the air and some went down behind the settee? It still bothers me. Did she find them all?;)

lol at Antonia, she is utterly sloshed I think
As soon as I saw her she reminded me of Del Boy's missus in Fools & Horses - Raquel was it?
