You could be right Zed - I mean he splits his his time between London and Dublin so we only catch up in person a couple of times a year. He had a couple of longer relationships in his 30's and early 40's with women who "didn't want Children"... until they did. I think that's what led to is...

Yeah good outcome.

And a little kudos to the women - yeah she screwed up but fronted up, accepted responsibility and paid out with no hassle. Rare in this day and age

On the contrary Dave, I say meat with plenty of fat is idea for stewing, the slow rendering of the fat into the stock adding to the flavour. Lean meat isn't the best for stewing - at least in my experience

That's not true though is it Dinny, there are plenty of women who don't want kids or find someone his own age who already has older kids. He chooses to date younger. Which is fine, just don't try and make a social justification for it :lol: It's completely true Zed. In his experience, the proportio...

I've a mate who's 50 this year and absolutely doesn't want Kids. He's very open and honest about it No women over 35 is interested in him as, in the most part, they're looking for more than just a relationship. so that rules out any set-ups of friends of friends, work colleagues etc. His choice is t...

I fancied a burger last night at short notice so fired up a chimney of coals and got a packet of Co-Op Rib and Brisket burgers.

For store bought packet burgers, they were bloody lovely.

I did have to flatten them a bit though as, like ALL packet burgers, they were too thick

Good luck to him…

Marriage, Kids, Stability etc don’t seem to be what he’s looking for so why conform to societal ‘norms’ ??

He’s harming no-one …

Harris and Joey from Friends, sure I’ll watch

Harris and Paddy - no thanks

Mimi dinny’s watching but we’ve got company and I’m under strict instruction

Hope Usyk absolutely batters him into retirement

Yeah that’s it.

The head isn’t right either. It should leave a ring on the glass. You should be able to tell how many mouthfuls someone has taken by the number of rings

(Re-quote at will…)

But we've already started down that path with the presumption of the burden of guilt on vehicle drivers that hit peds or cyclists - regardless of whether the more vulnerable user was "to blame" for the incident. And once you start with that the what's good enough for the goose has to be g...

Still don't understand why manufacturers continue with "Gear Stick" in automatics. Merc's stalk is way better and leaves a much cleaner centre console That's one of the things I could not get used to in the EQA we had recently. I'd be fine if it was a separate stalk on the RHS, but making...

Maybe Gavin will agree to eat nothing but seed oils for 3 months to see if he dies???

As an Irishman I have to say... I'm not sure if it's the glass, or the light, or the fact it's a 0% but that Pint does not look right at all

Don’t forget the Grappa …

On that note, does anyone have a recommendation for wines to drink with Cocoa Pops? I think milk is more traditional with cocoa pops! Back in student days, one occasion after a big night, and probably still drunk, I decided to have beer on my cornflakes. Not nice. I do not recommend it. I wish I co...

My other half has Migraine and just about every type of Alcohol, up to and including alcohol in deodorant sprays, gives her an attack. But she can happily drink Hole and the Clouds without issue - well a glass or two.

Split Rock is another very nice Marlborough Sauvignon
