    ^Yes, almost on a daily basis. There's one channel on free view that airs it perpetually on a loop.

    I'm obviously aspiring to those dizzy heights of culinary prowess - not to mention the socialising flair of most of the contestants.

    Canapes concluded the party.

    These hit the spot after half a bottle of gin and a dozen san migs...

    Much belching did ensue.

    ^^ Did you have a sneaky quarter of the Scotch eggs before presenting them to your guests?

    I only count 11, which by using my mathematical brain, does not divide into 2, 3, or even 4 eggs.

    Oh, and is that a banana skin by the top of the plate?

    I must admit, I thought you would have been held by her majesties pleasure by now, but looks like you've really settled into life back in Blighty.

    Top thread as per usual.
    Black diamonds? I shit 'em.

    What it like making "small talk?" At least in Issan you could sit quietly in the corner with a beer or three and nobody would bother you, let alone socialize around a pork roll and tater's...Are you becoming "Normalized?" Socially Acceptable or otherwise "needy," personality typical of those who do a daily commute in to a shit hole to work.

    I'm having a dinner party for a few select...

    Aren't the insides of Scotch eggs supposed to be runny, just like the pork?

    ^ Unrivalled finger fodder.

    Save, perhaps, for the pickled egg.

    Only home made ones or those from a restaurant. Supermarket bought, mass produced ones are supposed to look like that...

    I had a friend, bless her wee cotton socks, used to make scotch eggs that were like cannon balls. The meat was dried up and tastless, the eggs grey etc. I used to make the excuse and take mine home and mash it up with salt and pepper and ketchup.

    If i had been accosted on the bus, that thing could have done some bad damage. I could have twirled it around my head in its plastic carrier bag like david attacking goliath.

    One time friends gave me theirs to take home for them and they sat in the fridge for a week. Even dogs or cats wouldn't eat them. I thought the breadcromby bit would be good for the birds - nah.

    Sliced carrots? Are they supposed to balance the fat of the scotch eggs?

    Slaps will be jumping with joy that Hells Kitchen Season 14 has just started and can be downloaded.

    He can learn how to cook a fuccing scallop properly.

    Evil carrots should be left of the menu at every time.

    To paraphrase Mr Ramsey "F*ck that!". Have you ever seen the risotto he is happy to let his chefs turn out on that programme? Wet Batchelors Super Rice! It's not even Arborio. If I turned out risotto like theirs I'd shoot myself!

    He's a fake chef anyway...
    I'm guessing that he banks on his average viewing audience not to be culinary knowledgeable -

    Too right - he's a fat fucking farmer from Isaan who has turned to undercooking meat in an effort to imprison half the population of southern England in their own bogs.

    Soup my arse.

    Yeah - I am sure he found those 15 Michelin stars his restaurants have been awarded.
