The final qualifying round, at long bloody last.

I had to go into Richmond on Saturday to buy some things for a dinner I was making for publicansdecoy and obsessive_katy. I made puff pastry tarts with vine tomatoes and rocket & cashew pesto, followed by poached smoked haddock on a bed of wholegrain mustard mash and drizzled with caper butter.

"giro_playgirl giro_playgirl isn't as simple as this makes her sound, well not as far as I know anyway, but we're not that close."

I'm genuinely hurt here Wardytron.

Is that why you've voted 3 times, thereby giving the Lord no option other than to Smite the land with plagues of frogs and locusts? He was looking forward to staying in and watching Heston Blumenthal tonight, it's chilli con carne.

[giro_playgirl]

Yes, well, please accept my sincerest apologies for that. Just I was a bit torn you see. And besides, it's only Heston Blumenthal. He'll just tell you that the best way to make a Chilli Con Carne is to set fire to it with radioactive imps in a nuclear bunker.

I couldn't be arsed with most of the series, but I may watch the chilli one.

Hey, it's Marc with a 'c', oh yes. Like Marcs Bolan and Almond.

But I guess that's tantamount to... Actually, I don't know what it's tantamount to, I'm just distracted by the word tantamount.

[oldbloke]

Tantamount is how much dosh your aunty gives you for your birthday.
Or how much you have to spend on her at christmas.
Or something.
Look, it was nearly funny when I first thought of it, OK?

Humphreys, hmmmm. Sometimes he's like a cool grumpy old man, then sometimes he gets a bit too cynical and grumpy and starts waving his old man stick at anything and everything.

i mean his old man walking stick, you filthy perve.
