Takes me back to the heady days of "manc-foplite", that does.

New episodes of Only Connect and Pointless?

England done a win.

Christmas (Yew) Tree

That does sound like a recipe for emergency-level trapped wind.

An appropriate start if ever there was one.

I can recommend a fake Nepalese restaurant.

I'd stick up for the choyla too, except apparently it's traditionally made with buffalo meat. Less easy to come by over here I suppose.

If we're bemoaning authenticity, the specials menu even had Haggis Pakora on it. I had to try it.

He does.

This. To be fair, I haven't a clue how authentic the menu is or otherwise. All I know is you shouldn't note its similarity to Indian food within earshot of the owner.

Nepalese food tonight. "Might" eat the restaurant out of hansh bhutuwa. (Duck isn't only for pizza!)

But enough about CT...

Damn autocorrect.

It's a fiscal policy/control etc. issue I suppose, you have countries like Montenegro who use the euro despite not being members, but the drawbacks are fairly obvious. Could work as an interim solution though. Bosnia and the "convertible mark" also springs to mind. Outlived the actual Deutschmark.

I've just got very close to 30 minutes for 5K at Parkrun this morning and I'm feeling decent enough about getting anywhere near back to that level, so all tomorrow's GNRers have my massive respect for doing more than four times that. Y'fools! Best of luck Jill, hope you knock it out the park.

Three bottles of Shiraz, however...

Puréed duck pizza for tea.

Maybe it's his autocorrect doing its usual tricks and he actually meant "tomato"

That's a "banlette" to you
