I have a house full of stuff, most of which is staying here as we're renting the house to a friend who owns no furniture which is pretty handy. Theres just so much to consider and plan in over the next few months, its nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26292 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Sounds like a lot of effort, I wouldn’t bother. Just stay where you’re at and wait for death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance to get up to Kaikoura and right down to the fiordland which we missed last time, and possibly have a regular holiday in Australia when its only a few hours away rather than 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 9989 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I do love me a bit of Marina Hyde https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2018/apr/05/the-great-british-tv-chefs-rotating-midlife-crisis?CMP=share_btn_tw In his head: the image of Steven Seagal in Under Siege, a highly decorated ex-Navy Seal (“Security clearance revoked after Panama”), who also cooks, and is able both to dispatch villains using kitchen knives and turn a microwave into an improvised weapon, all the while knowing he’s having Erika Eleniak for his pudding. In everyone else’s head: the image of Seagal now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just won a £25 Five Guys gift card for completing their customer satisfaction survey. It pays to be bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Aye, it was using the code on the receipt for a £23.50 purchase so... well, a free dinner's a free dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5904 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Their marketing department is genius. Charge the price of a sit down restaurant for a fast food burger and chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Aye, it's obviously significantly better than Maccy D's or Burger King but it's definitely not "worth" the money for the restaurant experience if you actually take the time to think about it. Same way a decent lager isn't worth £5-6 but it's still the right choice if the alternative is a £4 Fosters, I suppose, but the question should be why you're bothering with either. (I realise neither of us would, but you take the point. ) Tend to only have Five Guys somewhere like the O2 where the options are all overpriced chains anyway. Never let London pretend it's actually cultured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pays to be bored. There's a pizza shop round our way called '3 Guys'. It closes down every year, gets new management and changes it's name. It was 'flaming Cod' or something last time. Anyway, it's as shit as it sounds, went for some jockey's whip's when it was a chippy to try it out and I got served some frozen chips from a Polish lass!!! Needless to say that was the first and last time I went. No interest in any vouchers from any guys, whether there's three, four or five of the radgies.

Kid Dynamite 5904 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I quite like Pizza Storm in Eldon Square. £5.95 for as many toppings as you want chucked on your pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
