Me too....the nearest chippy is miles from where I live so I rarely have any. Might have to go to Whitstable!!

We have a chippy not too far but it only opens for an hour on friday lunchtime

i never want fish and chips for breakfast.
other than that it's a 52mile round trip!!!

Oh I'd have them for brekky if that was the only real option.....when I go to Whitty I generally go in the very old fashioned chippy with a few sit down tables, and have a child's portion for lunch. Their idea of what a child would eat.....well it's plenty enough for me and I'm a greedy ho

hahahahhaaa i'm the same!!! i get my mum to buy the pensioner portion then i swap and i eat the old lady portion and she has the massive "normal" person portion....

i'd never make it through a full size portion

I see other adults having the whopping portions for lunch, how they manage to eat that much is beyond me. It's like being in America! Foot long haddock and an alp of chips, with a vat of mushy peas. THere is a pub locally that does light bites for lunch, including a mini fish & chips. It's the perfect size!

sounds like up here!! the portions are always massive...

...i'm watching a film with Ben Affleck in and i'm finding him attractive not sure whether this is a symptom of a more serious disease or just a side effect of long term morphine use...

He's actually improved with age. I wouldn't say I've ever fancied him but he looks better now than he did............

Not in the same league as Ragnar or Rollo though!!!

i must be ill call the paramedics *mops fevered brow*

I have a soft spot for both Good Will Hunting and Dogma ......

One of the very best!


I am just the same; I love and appreciate my food, but, eating out, the portions seem huge. Some local places have started doing light bites, or half portions, which given that every other telly prog is about how we are all going to explode from obesity, is about time

*turns fire extinguisher on planets* better now?
Can honestly say I've never taken any notice of him in anything, he's all yours

thanks for that tk i needed it i don't know what came over me
i'm so ashamed......

As they say here arrah so! Night and gods bless

I love both of those fillums!!!

Laptop decided to die suddenly last night, hence rather untimely exit

Can I smell chips in here?

Just popped in to say hello - Hello! And see how TK's testing went. Congrats TK glad to know the heard is up to scratch. Have you finished calving? How many did you have this year?

Hope the muscles are less sore Twass and Planets. Gardening already - very impressive.

Pah! Gardening! Trod on a rusty nail this morning and ended up having to go for a tetanus shot. I have antibiotics as well, but will only take those if infection sets in. Doc's advice Ruined my wellies!! Still went out and finished the digging once back from the surgery

Are you more concerned about your wellies than your foot?

Yes, I am! I have already scoured the internet for another pair of black biker style wellies with studs and straps. I don't want to have to wear bog standard ORDINARY wellies!! Can't find any in my size. Bloomin nuisance!!!!

My wife asked me to buy her some Hunter wellies last year and i said 'no problem'.

So I ambled down to the shop in my lunch hour and saw how much they cost. Obviously she waned the most expensive ones as well.

If she puts a hole in them i'm fixing them with a puncture repair kit or similar. Those wellies are going to last 100 years.

(she actually says they're the most comfortable footwear she has ever owned).

Mine were only about eight quid but they were comfortable, stylish [as wellies go] and were my festival footwear.....I'm not forking out for Hunters

My wife didn't fork out for Hunters either. She was crafty and made me fork out.

Ouch that sounds really painful. When I was at school a friend of mine stood on a nail sticking out from a goal post that was on the ground. It went right through her foot. I have never forgotten it. Odd thing was that at the time she was quite relaxed about it. She just sat there saying "Its gone through my foot" Not screaming in agony, just sort of amazed and curious that it was possible.

That's pretty much how I reacted. Then I prised my booted foot off the plank with the nail sticking up and went inside to check out the damage. It's only a little hole tbh.....

Thought of you earlier when I put a lamb bone on, because my had slipped on the pearl barley just like you did last week!! It will be more of a stew than a broth

it's probably shock and also to begin with stuff like that doesn't hurt it takes a while to kick in!!

Planets' World of Weirdness:
When i was about 8 or 9 i had a 2 inch circle of my inner thigh pinched out by the hinge in the middle of a see-saw.....the nuns were taking me to the hospital because it looked like an abattoir and i was fine unless i looked at it.the doctor put his finger literally inside my thigh and waggled it around a bit and said "does this hurt" *raises eyebrow* luckily i was too young to have any swearing in my vocabulary.

does your foot hurt Twass or is mainly the pain of lost wellies?

This sounded plausible until the nuns entered stage left. Nitrous Oxide again today eh?
