Morning all!
How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty damn good, I got rather drunk on Friday, then had a friend stay at mine, where we walked to Tesco at about 3am to buy more booze.

On Saturday I helped a friend move into the house I'm in, then went to see a friend, who insisted I go for a drink with her. I then stayed out with her, and we had a good laugh. The night was made even better by a phone call off my brother telling me he'd just got engaged, and wanted me to be the first to know.

Yesterday I watched the football, then was having a few cans, chatting to a couple of my house/workmates who were cooking a roast, and they put a plate together for me, as they had shitloads spare.

All in all, pretty damn good weekend!

Alt Q: I missed breakfast this morning, bit disappointed about that. What is your standard breakfast on weekdays? And what would be your perfect breakfast?

My weekend was fine thanks
Went to see The Kings Spspspspspeech. Excellant film, if a little toadying to the royal family. Went to see my mum yesterday, and she regaled us with memories from the 1930's. I managed to avoid any ice based dancing programmes on the telly much to the annoyance of my girlfriend.

Alt Q Full english, with limitless toast.

Morning mate
I've had a crackin' long weekend, went to Stratford Wednesday with the missus and saw Matilda, which was bloody brilliant. Went for a Thai meal, hotel was really nice, had a fucking awesome Saturday in which Ms Foxtrot left me to my own devices to play Red Dead Redemption all day, which NEVER happens, plus Forest got a 94th-minute winner.

Yesterday bit, but 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

My standard breakfast at the minute is fruit and yoghurt, following 45 minutes on the treadmill watching BSG. This whole weight loss thing is invigorating/gay as fuck

Glad you enjoyed Stratford
Which hotel and restaurant did you go to?
(, Mon 17 Jan 2011, 9:16, Reply)
The Shakespeare hotel (part of the Mercure chain), very nice
and Thai Kingdom, also excellent. I had the hottest thing on the menu. It was awesome.

One question mate, I really like Stratford, it's very picturesque, but how long do you celebrate Christmas for there?
(, Mon 17 Jan 2011, 9:29, Reply)
The Thai Kingdom is lovely indeed, good choice!
*sighs* Tell me about it, the decorations go up in early October, and they're still up now (as you know). There's also a Christmas shop that sells expensive baubles and Xmas tat all year round...

Yeah we passed that
My Mum would LOVE it amongst your people. I was really impressed with the whole trip to be honest, the musical was obviously the highlight but the town itself was lovely, and only a three-hour drive (not that far when you live in Norfolk). Would visit again, and hopefully we can have a beer next time.

Although for some reason once you get beyond Cambridge on the A14 the road is populated only by lorries, white van men and DICKHEADS

Mine was excellent, thank you.
Quiet night in Friday, bed at 5am, slept during the day, saw my daughter Saturday night with an overnight stay at hers. Up at 8 yesterday, took her to the park on her bike, lots of climbing-frame/walking along logs/slide fun, dropped her back home at lunchtime.

Spent the afternoon in my favourite place, The British Museum where I caught up with my old chums the Battersea Shield, the Sutton Hoo burial and many more. Went to the pub, out for pizza, back to the pub and fast asleep by 10:45. Splendid stuff.

Ideal breakfast: A full Anglo-American featuring bacon (with maple syrup), scrambled eggs, gourmet sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, granary toast, a bloody mary, a massive reefer and back to bed.

In a lot of respects, it wasn't the best weekend I've ever had.
I cault up on all my work, which is a bonus, my plans were to come into work today and be all like "YEAH BITCH, LOOK AT THIS SHIZNISS, I AM VERY VERY GOOD AT WHAT I DO", and I did it all, but I woke up today and was like BLUUUURRGHHHHH and was really really sick and now my stomach hurts and I want to go into work but I don't want to go into work while in loads of pain and throwing up all the time.... in most respects, my body could be a hell of a lot worst, I understand that I don't have aids or cancer or blindness, and I try not to complain too much, but OH WOE IS ME.

On sunday I went to ASDA, this was a highlight of the weekend as I got to walk about listening to some music.

It's disappointing, Monty
in my day in London you had to find the dodgy greek-cypriot supermarkets on green lanes that thought licensing laws applied to other people. It's just too easy for the drunken youth of today.

When I moved into my area
you had to go to the kebab shop in Shoreditch, buy some grotty food you didn't want (and threw immediately into the bin upon exit) and get your beer. The good old days.

OMG OMG OMG
i used to live on duckett road (one of the "ladders" that runs off green lanes). we spent our lives in those 24 hour drinking dens behind the kebab shops, some of them had pool tables and juke boxes etc. great times. total shithole though.

if there's a pub in London, I've probably been slumped on the bar there.

no 24 hour booze supply round here either
We used to dream of an all-night emergency booze delivery service with outrageous markups after midnight you could phone - perhaps as an adjunct to a taxi service. Now we're all old we bring enough booze in the first place, and when it's finished we go to bed.

my weekend was awesome
but i may still be drunk today.

i hate breakfast, but as part of the new year health drive thing, i force myself to have a packet of those belvita breakfast biscuit things (200 cals) and a bottle of tropicana orange or grape juice (not from concentrate and NO PULPY BITS, i hate pulpy bits with a passion).

perfect breakfast would be in a massive white four poster bed in a luxury caribbean resort with the windows flung open to show off turquoise water, sun, white sand and palm trees, and some drop dead gorgeous bloke wearing only a white towel and a suntan. the food can fuck off.

fri night curry, sat shopping and hairdo (FAR. TOO. SHORT. i have been stropping around ever since, although when i changed my fb profile pic to show everyone the trauma, amberl immediately asked what it looked like, so clearly didn't realise how short it was in the new pic - maybe i am overreacting), sat night we were out til about 4am getting leathered in manchester, then nice family lunch over in yorkshire yesterday, plus some nice texts from the potential bloke, it was all excellent! how about you??

had lunch with the family from tod on sun
usual "royle family" aga-saga type stuff.... my half-brother's half-brother has knocked up a third girl despite not seeing his first two kids... my cousin met her new man at tod market then it turned out he's married to her old mate from school..... made me feel quite homesick, all that gossip. the yorkshire rain can fuck off though, it chucked it down all day.

a quiet one
managed to sleep for 10 hours on Friday/Saturday, so the moring was a write-off. Went to the football on the afternoon, which was one of the most entertaing games I've ever seen. Veg chilli for dinner and a Shooter's Sandwich prepared and left to press overnight. Ate offcuts of the ribeye steaks with some of the mushroom filling while watching Match of the Day, heavenly.

Sunday was gym and eating the shooter's sandwich - turned out lovely, if not as pretty as DiT's.

Alt: Weekday breakfast is tea, cereal and fruit juice swigged from the carton.

A nice weekend
good time for friends on Friday night. Long walk by the South Devon coast on Saturday. Out for a mate's birthday on Saturday night, which included 3 different cakes made by his lovely mrs.

Went to see my bro yesterday who is home from hospital with the pneumonia thing. He's ok which is good, just fucking knackered.

weekday breakfast = granary toast, one with marmite, one with nutella and a glass of OJ.
Ideal breakfast = eggs Benedict

sounds like he had some liver infection as well. Unpleasant stuff. Still, gives him plenty of time off work to play Gran Turismo 5

It's a great deal more serious than I thought; I had no idea people died from it until my pal did.

a surprising number do die
20% or something, I seem to recall him saying.

Fairly worrying, but with no history of anything of the sort he had a good chance of not dying.

pretty quiet really
And mostly very lazy. Lots of sleeping, but may well have involved the pub or pubs several or more times. (No sleeping in the pub though, that'd be offside.)

Standard weekday breakfast is coffee. Favourite breakfast (probably at about 11:30 in the morning, after walking a bit or digging a hole) would be eggs Benedict with a fried potato/black pudding/spring onion salad, and a spicy Bloody Mary on the side (which absolutely must have a little lime juice and celery salt in it). Rats, now I'm feeling hungry ...
