I know it's not quite the same thing, it doesn't have the display counter shenanigans, it's a chain etc. etc., but the Loch Fyne on Gosforth High Street is canny enough if you like your fish. Just one that springs to mind, anyway.

It can occasionally be bloody confusing too.

When the snow hit before Christmas we had friends coming over from Germany for the weekend who didn't make it because their flight got put back by three days thanks to Gatwick and Easyjet incompetence. We have friends from Norway who are scheduled to arrive into Gatwick tomorrow night... and the runway's closed so fuck only knows if they'll make it or not. The lesson is clear: never make friends.

This sounds rather naughty. At the same time I sense you have a look that says "but Im not ruling out the possibility" One must be open to all things. Even Fists. Typical. A thread on supermarkets descends to hand- insertion based filth. I'm sure this'll be more to Mad Jock's liking, anyway.

Rainbow and Griffin, I believe.

Ah but that's alright, the world will be overheated, underwatered and chock-full of Muslim extremists by then! Congrats to you both

Fuckin hell Fist, you've nicked my inventory!!!! you mean itinerary I happen to think he's rather a nice itinerary.

Congrats mate, hope all are well. Quiet one for us, in bed at 11.30 asleep at 12.02! Bloody long one for you

I saw it and hoped it wouldn't be what I already knew it would be. Jesus fucking wept. (We all adore mediocrity, by the way.)

Eurovision 2009, the 2004 Croatian final and the 2005 international semi-final. Six bottles of wine between the three of us. Happy happy bunnies. Merry New Year everyone!

Predictable as all hell, but I'll have to go with the Decemberists and "The Hazards Of Love". It took me a while to warm to it, but seeing the whole thing played live in all its wanky glory last month basically sealed the deal. Honourable mentions for "One To The Heart, One To The Head" by Gretchen Peters and Tom Russell (from which my favouritest track released this year, the lovely "Guadalupe", is taken) and "Midnight At The Movies" by Justin Townes Earle.

There's an app for linking insufferable twats with the über-insufferable twat? What won't they think of next?

Meant to say, Alex, I tried out that lasagna sauce - with added meat - and it worked a treat.

This is not what I expected from "MEN ONLY"

Definitely Tilleys before then? The story of Fish's empty belly and the rest can be sorted out anon.

Canny meal today. Not enough booze though. Doing it all again tomorrow with the other half of the family but going out to a pub, so [a] can order something that isn't turkey, and can get on the lash.

Good call. I was in the crowd for that - it was Smooth Operator's birthday party.

This makes me so damn happy.

Merry Christmas to all and sundry!

I actually can't imagine a situation where that would occur. Unless it was the stereotypical bad-taste sweater or something. But that's what charity shops are for.

Sounds good actually.
