For tea tonight, M&S chunky battered haddock (or it might have been cod, I can’t remember) with M&S crinkle-cut chips, and beans. It’s a winning combination

steak pie, chips and peas for dinner.
with HP sauce as a nod to the laid up brillo
and a nice rioja.
was in the local earlier.
amateur friday in full swing.
halfwits in xmas jumpers filling the pub up, drinking half pints of granny toadsucker's old atrocious warm pish, and getting in the way of regular, professional lager drinkers.
still, won't see 'em again 'till next year, feckwits.Comment

Angel S5 E16, 17, 18, & 19 have been watched.
Tomorrow should see the end of it.
Dunno what to watch next, I suppose I'd better wend my way through Joan of Arcadia S2 if only to get my money's worth.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Only had three cocktails in Rockwell by Trafalgar Square followed by half a bottle of wine with dinner at The Oystermen in Covent Garden and a post-prandial cocktail in The Alchemist St Martin's.
Oh how we laughed when we saw that our bill at The Oystermen was exactly the same as at Rockwell....Comment

Tonight’s first film here was The Raid 2 (2014), being the sequel to The Raid, which isn’t called The Raid 1 for reasons related to Queen Elizabeth I. It’s pretty good, but it lacks the thing that made the first one so good, to wit, the utterly basic plot: “We’re going to fight our way up this tower block because the bad guys are at the top.” There were various side stories, all good, but that was it, and that was all that was needed. This one has a fairly complicated plot and a bunch of great set pieces, and that’s not the same, and not as good
After that, I reluctantly allowed myself to be sucked into the spirit of the “season” with a festive film full of merriment and joy: Die Hard (1988). It’s what Christmas is all about
And finally a bit more of S5 of The Wire: E6 The Dickensian Aspect (TV Episode 2008) and E7 Took (TV Episode 2008). I know it’s some kind of standing joke for the bourgeoisie but is it really the case that intelligent people like McNulty (in the first season, or series) and Kima Greggs (in E7) are incapable of following the instructions to put together a bit of IKEA furniture? It isn’t exactly hard

Morning all if all there be
Peeping through the gap in the curtains there's a bit white fluffy cloud brightly illumined by sunlight.
Down here, somewhat less so.
Hints of blue sky.
Comparatively warm at 18.1 deg in here this morning.
No current precipitation.
I believe it to be Saturday since the Today prog started at 07:00 and was preceded by some woman railing against some long dead slave owner in Bristol.
Re the Ikea thing, maybe they're not au fait with the idea of the Allen key?
Just think of the problems if they were confronted with Torx(tm) or Bristol Spline.
<hiatus>
Pissing down now.
There.
That didn't take long.
Grey grey grey grey grey.
Wet.
Dark.
dank.
Dreary.
Dreadful.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 21 December 2019, 09:24.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
