Working Monters,
still freshers week, and the stupidest of them will now have figured out where the pubs are, so i assume it will be a busy one.
I worked briefly with a chap who had trained with Farran Adria, we created some wonderful things, Coca Cola Caviar, this weird freeze dried tomato and apricot thing, all sorts, was lovely.

Oh nice.
I saw a doc on him recently, fascinating guy and not the pompous prick he's every right to be.

My sister's husband's best man works for him at the Fat Duck,
by all accounts he's a nice employer but from what I've seen of him on the telly he's a bit of a dick.

Raymond Blanc told me he was a fucking cunt.

I ate lunch at his brasserie in Oxford last year.
I am sorry to say it was really fucking mediocre.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:30, Reply)

it really is, it's no longer run by him, he just has his name on it,
and pops in now and then to show his face for some of the big investors. He doesn't cook anymore and that is a real shame.

My bar was across the road from that Brasserie.

I can't get on with apricots
Dried, fresh, anything...I've really tried to like them, but I just can't.
Does this make me an homesexual?

well no, it means that the way your tastebuds developed as you were growing up,
mutated in to some sort of mouth wrong cunt.

Maybe you'll both need to accept your differing views and move on?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:16, Reply)

We only deal in absolutes here on the internet.
Right and wrong.
Black and white.
And we must argue incessantly until one point of view or the other is proven to be correct, or until we get a bit bored and talk about something else.

No we don't
and here is a series of links to amateur flag enthusiast websites that also offer holiday caravans in Margate that proves my point unequivocally.

You can play spot the "mates" who won't be "mates" by the end of the month.

I got lumbered with a christian bloke at the Freshers Ball.
He turned out to be a tedious cunt.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:22, Reply)

Innit.
I didn't socialise with anyone from my university until after Christmas in my first year. By then the tossers had outed themselves - plus I had loads of chums living locally anyway so didn't need to hang around with a bunch of needy flids that I didn't know.

This exaplins a lot about you. It really does.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:24, Reply)

What does it explain, Al?
Or rather 'exaplin', as you would have it.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:28, Reply)

Well Monty, exaplin was possibly the wrong way of putting it. more that it clearly demonstrates character traits

(Bazongaloid, Fri 21 Sep 2012, 10:34, Reply)

this is a great game,
there is always that wonderful group of people, that aren't the most confident, probably living on the same corridor, met on the first day, don't really like eachother, but are too timid to just ditch and find someone else to talk to.
