Went past But First Coffee thismorning.
I certainly give it eight out of ten for the espresso, eight out of ten for service, eight out of ten for ambience (no traffic) but this morning, only five out of ten for comfort (nowhere available to sit - a…
According to my source, Albanian-Greek or Greek-Albanian. Albania is next to Greece, eh? I also know perfectly acceptable pizzerias in rural Italy that are, in fact, Albanian run.
Apart from the cheese pie and spinach pie, what else is good? Havent been to Greece or near a decent Greek restaurant for years. Except Brick and Olive which is Greek Cypriot.
Who remembers this in June 2008? There was another, teeny and insignificant, lorry strike under the bridge on Thursday. I was walking under the bridge when the dramatic 2008 lorry crash happened, I'll put pictures on Twitter.
I can remember as a child going out into the garden to watch either Sputnik or Telstar go over. I wonder which of Sputnik, Telstar or the ISS is / was closest to earth or furthest away.
I have used a very good app, ISS Detector. This actually seems to suggest Thursday's flypast will start at around 22.51 and last for six minutes, coming from the west. The ISS seems to fly over a lot. I dont know how the timing squares with yours…
The property in question has already been dawn raided twice by police (most recently a couple of years back, officers in stab vests, helmets, dogs, a battering ram and fixed bayonets) and both times they 'found nothing'. Clean. What does that say …
Interesting times we live in. So it's an open secret that a flat near here is being used big time for major drug dealing. Should it bother me? Everybody on the street knows it. The police know it. People and traffic are knocking on the door nig…
Got the story - and it's a good one. Attempted robbery or break in, Victoria Road, by three individuals on Friday night. Police called to the scene with dogs apprehended two of the thieves, in the course of which there was an assault on police. I…
They were spraying on the paths and verges all over the HfH blocks between Lorne and Marquis the other day. I notice the operators were dressed in full protective PPE with masks and goggles. What about the rest of us - doesn't say much for Haringe…
Yeah, I just looked it up. They've been on the radar since about 2017 and far from being something hole and corner, kept out of sight, Deliveroo and some chain restaurants are openly promoting them as a great advance in the catering industry. I ag…
Coincidentally I heard about 'dark' kitchens for the first time only yesterday in another (real time) conversation. I'd be interested to know more. Do you think any of our typical representative SGR restaurants would do this kind of thing, and for…
@cmo I believe I owe you an apology. I persisted and after I got through the opening ten minutes to the ... er .... meat of the story I found it was thoroughly entertaining, interesting, definitely awards material and had me laughing my pants off. …
Totally unlistenable rubbish. I heard the first ten minutes of total self referential crap and switched it off, thinking 'this is why proper professionals get trained and paid to make radio programmes and podcasts, instead of wanky free stuff on the…
Thank you HF. My own SWMBO can't tolerate fried rice or spicy noodles let alone tapioca pudding or tripe so I think Chilli Pork Anus is going to be well beyond the pale.....might try it myself though.
