Not yet. I've just arrange to call in at the merchants in wentworth tomorrow for a bit of a chat. They have a couple of interest. I find English wines to be ridiculously expensive for at best ordinary produce and tomorrow won't be any different. I suppose that must be the production costs on a relatively low output but £26 for an average sparkler was dreadful value compared with the wonderful domaine de la fontainerrie in Vouvray at €10 a pop or a pink sparkler from Guy Durand in amboise for a similar price. Both are fabulous wines that have maintained very high standards for at least four decades. Last visit to France I brought back 155 bottles. Now its 12. 8 if they sparkle ffs The B word isn't to be mentioned in here!!

They are out there. I know they're out there cos other folks have told me. BUT.... I haven't yet had a bottle of English wine, red, pink or white.... sparkling or still, that I've gone "wow, I must get more of this" to. I do buy a lot of poncey stuff and even my glugging wine is usually around £13-18/bottle.... so it's not the price that's putting me off. Everyone I've tried has been underwhelming and at the very best, bang average. Given I cant cart 150 bottles over from France any longer, I was happy to try a few English efforts but they lacked any impact. Am I looking in the wrong place or shall I just get hold of Berry Bros and/the wine society again?

I've lost all hearing in my left ear. My right side hearing is also impaired. I'm hoping this clears up or I'm listening to nowt.

Basking in my glory.... the beef cheeks curry really is something else. A bit pi ssed off I have shared it with friends. Yes I'm blowing my own bugle... but this is fabulous.

Donny market mate.... it really is the poodles swingers..... AND, if you ask said butcher, he will get you some poodles swingers.... BTW.... donny Market Black pud.... Best anywhere

Gingdong.... an occasional poster... quite oft banned from this forum, has some pheasant, partridge and duck for me. I've got a rabbit and a couple pigeons. The lot are going to be braised off, pied up and shared out. I love game season.

Just doing a simple curry with beef cheeks and ground toasted whole spices. It's puttering away nicely and tastes wonderful. To almost quote Kevin bloody Wilson... Monday to Thursday this week I could genuinely have said "I've had an absolute clot of a day".... not clot but I'm sure you can figure... Single Malt poured.... First drink in a while..river detectives on... tea filling the house with very pleasant smells. What a week that's been...

Just watching Rachel Khoo...... Salivating....

Been playingbthat very track this morning. Great cover too.

I remember buying three rosebanks (2 were presents) in 1984. My fav lowland. They'd be worth a min of 5k now

My preference is a single malt but I'm not averse to a dram from the JW range. Compass box do some fabulous blends and the now defunct Asyla was an amazing example of a perfect blend (for me). I'm up in the North of Scotland at the mo so I've bought 3 bottles from clynelish - my fav whisky and Brora is a lovely place to visit. A 14 year old, a distillers edition and a bottle your own cask strength are coming back with me. Then, on the way back from Dingwall we took the mountain route as the sun was shining and the scenery is breathtaking. On the way back would you believe it, we found ourselves in the car park at Balblair. So I treated us to a 15 & and 18 Yr old. I've even bought some speyside whisky marmalade this morning! Short of trying to catch a haggis on the hills, I've bought loads of Scottish stuff to bring back.... but that cask strength clynelish is what I'm looking forrad to most. Christmas day digestif

Woodpigeon pie at chateau fat bloke this evening.... perfect post game tea....

I had a few records from the Sounds magazine in the 70s....

Roger Stone.... former leader of Rovrum Council at the time of CSE scandal. My thoughts on Roger the dodger posted on here would see me banned forever from these fora. A loathsome individual.

He did indeed. I saw a pic on Facebook of his daughters. The caption said somethinglike, "these are the daughters of Keith Richards, said to be worth $X million. When they die, Keith will inherit the lot"!

I was chuckling at the news last night. Just how much gear was Charlie shifting in the 70s that meant Keith Richards of all people had to have a word with him!

Charlie Watts..... on a proper downer now.
