I’m surprised none of Monty’s have popped up….

“We come in search of the Holy Grail”
“****** off, we’ve already got one”

“He said something about the Greeks”

“It’s just a scratch”

Sent home?…No, not even the 1964 freeze.
My school had real free standing radiators, fed by 4 inch diameter pipes! All mended / bled by a real Janitor in a blue uniform and a peaked hat!

Warm as toast we were!

Them wer’t days.

But, we all walked to school then. And lived round the corner. Now, they have to shut the skools because the mums/dads may not be able to get there/back in the car (Cos the roads may be shut).

John Wayne didn’t make a bad movie IMO.
I’ve never forgiven Bruce Dern for shooting him in “The Cowboys”.

The 32 ounce was a T bone, so it was probably only 28 ounces of meat. Yes, it was big, but it looked small ‘cos I was in Texas. Not even the whole USA is bigger than Texas! (If you’ve been there, you’ll get the joke here)
The cook in the cheap motel cooks a fillet, the chef in the posh hotel cooks a fillet. No difference except the price. I’ve done the both of them. Of course, fillet vs rump is going to give a different flavour, but that isn’t the comparison.

As for a rich in red meat diet….my red meat is only 4 times a week (That includes parts of the pig), plus some foul and some fish. Plenty of Veg. with every meal.

….effectively an extra £1.50 going to the hotel chain…

…..how much better your health will be eating less food but better. 😉

Moggy

It’s not the £1.50, it’s the total principle.

As for the steak, in no way could the smaller steak be better, it probably got sliced off the same cow. Just because a fully qualified Chef is employed, rather than a cook, does not improve the flavour. Unless you count the sauces, which is a french trick to disguise horse and/or bad meat.
I eat steaks rare, with no sauces. 32 ouncer was my record, in Texas (Where else!).

Quote removed again.

No, Brown shouldn’t be interested in the moaning of a hotel customer, but the reduction of VAT was intended to bring prices down, help with the credit crunch blah blah blah. I only wrote there because I don’t know who else would show the slightest interest either.
Are we in a nanny state? I thought it was a motherly dictatorship.

Oh, and I can’t really change hotel, because the other chains round that area want £100 per night, for a room that is no better than the £67. The food is of a better quality but after work I’m too hungry for quality. I want a MASSIVE steak, jacket spud and 4 greens for about £13. Not a 6 ounce mouthful steak, with a few boiled spuds and a dressing of cress (But presented beautifully) for £22.95.

Star Wars – Revenge Of The Sith.

Doesn’t get any better with time – I still think Mr Lucas has a lot to answer for, 2 outstanding original films (Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back) then he insists on writing scripts with laughable dialogue and a stream of passing characters designed I’m sure to sell toys.

Give me “Episode IV” any day…. and Luke Skywalker is a big girl’s blouse and Han Solo is, and always will be the Man……

I was in Hollywood in 1981, we stayed with a bit part actor who worked with the Star Wars crowd. He told me way back then that there were 7 films/stories written. Whether it’s the same ones popping out now I dunno.
