ChezGiven

Down the side of the Laing art gallery, its in those old georgian houses.

Crazy gun-toting yank coppers.

I ended up going to the Grainger House on Higham place. Good service and interior, quietish atmosphere but focus all about the food. All locally sourced meats, fish etc and high quality stuff. Recommend it as a place for a date. £50 a head with 3 courses and 3 bottles of wine.

Day off today, doing nowt but eating me mams fridge (literally) and drinking tea.

Its funny about the mexican food too. One of my best mates here is Mexican, top lad, meeting him tonight to for a pint and one of the CL games. He is an amazing cook, will ask him what he made for me when i was at his as it blew me away. Had something like 10 or 20 different types of chilli but wasnt that hot. The toontastic burrito bar has to be a winner though.

You like women who look like that Had 'dirt' written all over her. If she had a wash you might be able to still make it out.

I would have thought Ole' Snakehips was the spit of Ricky Martin?

Theres a new Burrita Bar in town according to GRT from NO

The bloke who won Hell's Kitchen (the Gordon Ramsay thing) opened up a restaurant in town called Rockafella (named after his signature dish). Aspers is the big casino in The Gate. I've not been but it's meant to be pretty swanky - it's on more than one floor I think. Passed me by that Gordon Ramsey thing. This Apers place sounds good but isnt the Gate geet shit like..?

Someone with a pair of eyes who's seen those two pictures, then? A musician mate who has hung out with her. Gets seriously good weed too apparently. Pah, so do I See ye sunday Aye, we'll pop out for one. If I decide I like you that is You'll know he doesn't like you now though if he doesn't tip you the wink.

Was just about to post something similar. We could have all made our suggestions, then he could have turned his nose up at them for being 'plebby'. Think you're right about the one at the Baltic Chez, it always used to be booked way in advance. Is he that bad? He's like a slightly chubbier version of Michael Winner. "I'll have the paté de foie gras to start then the roast pheasant topped with truffles and artichoke hearts .... and a Double Decker" What was that off again? One of the better characters from Little Britain. He once ordered a curly-wurly too...

Good food, good wine, good service, not too bothered about price. Also not too full of young uns (ages are late 50s and early 60's). Cafe 21, on the quayside?? Aye both that place and the Live Theatre one are on the Quayside. Actually, I'm a bad person to ask as I'm a veggie. My dad doesnt like seafood either and a site on the web says its that and veggie..

Was me Dad's birthday the other day and i am back in Newcastle for a few days this weekend, going to the match etc and wanted to take the folks out somewhere good on saturday night (feeling guilty, not seen them since last christmas). Would any of you fine people like to recommend somewhere good? I know the place at the top of the Baltic is meant to be good but i reckon that'll be fully booked. Any suggestions?

I like em. The greatest hits looks alright too.

Fair points Oba but a friend of mine who makes house music and publishes all sorts of stuff says he reckons he loses out on 60-70% of his sales due to illegal downloads and filesharing. Its just an educated guess as he can not measure it. After a WMC in Miami where he was promoting a new record, nearly everyone he met in his area of music in the next few months all had a copy or had heard it from someone who had. Great on the one hand but all lost sales. Doesnt help with mortgage payments. As for film its got to be a good thing if it grows the market for film-makers. No other way it can help overall that i can see.

Whichever way you look at it, downloading music from P2P sites is theft. The issue is whether its good or bad for small up and coming bands or niche artists. If not, then its a bad thing imo. Couldnt give a shit if established artisits miss out tbh.

Are they allowed to keep the equity from the house if and when they sell it? The real punt when buying the house is the future value, or is that what this is about?
