blimey that's a bit much. lumped in with a bedwetting weight weenine!

'course i can! i've abstained all week. and will continue to do so for a while yet. it's just that that place is inextricably linked in my mind with great squid and great rioja. those are the reasons i'd go back. just seems a bit like unnecessary temptation to go there and deny myself half the pleasure.

in any case, back up plans have fallen though as well and it now looks like i'm cooking for one now anyway.

I see, it starts with knocking my bike over "by accident", now we move onto the personal attacks.

its time for an intervention.

do it tonight at the pub...

don't like that test much, clicked yes to 3 questions and your an alcoholic! Then you feel like more of one when you try and justify it to your self you feel like more of one!

spoken like a true alchy

do you think it counts as drinking alone if your girlfriend is asleep in the same room? just need some clarification.

strange, i actually did the test the other day. i said i was an alchy. or at least semi-alchy or whatever. probably about right.

meh.

Maybe you and Dammit could form a bedwetters support group? :P

Can you not just abstain from alcohol for the evening?

I guess I must be a bedwetter, this post really upset me.

I've felt a strange mix of angry and sad since reading it.

Clearly I need to get on with the manning up process as pointed out yesterday.

I was joking, so please accept my apologies for the upset caused.

Is she still breathing?

'asleep' is quite a loose term, as is 'girlfriend'

Hawksmoor today, rare rib-eye with bone marrow and spinach. We ordered both kinds of chips, purely for scientific purposes, and decided that the beef dripping chips win over the thrice cooked ones.
Two starters between three of us, belly pork ribs and asparagus with duck-egg sauce.
Many cocktails.
Awesome. Definitely on the list to go again.

Why never again on the bone marrow front?

In fairness I've only had it twice. Once at St John and once by my mum - both times awesome - fatty/sticky/meaty/lush.

i love bone marrow. first time i had it at st john second time i cooked it myself using the st john recipe. it rocked

to be fair, they brought it late (so subsequently took it off the bill) so we only tried it on it's own. It was just too fatty, like eating soft lard. Would probably be nice with the steak I suppose.

i used to serve it with a Rib eye (on the bone), just roast a section of bone then serve with a little spoon so the customer can scoop out the marrow

also you feel like a proper 'man' after with a couple of bones left on your plate
