Home cooked steak and kidney pie with new potatoes and baby peas.

Last night at the lake. Used up what we had left in the fridge. Pepper, onion, mushroom and pork kebabs with some not quite so burnt sausages. Washed down with a Kronenbourg beer.

Mine was a salmon steak fried in batter on bed of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Whilst the batter was not that good, the fish was. Total cost including 2 beers $18.5

Just arrived back in Pattaya after 5 days in Northern Korat. The taxi driver and I got pulled over at 3 police checkpoints on the way back. He got piss tested at the first stop in a little hut off the road. So he's yaa baa free and gets a paper saying he's been checked so you don't get tested at further stops. If your clean, they give you a handful of fruit Mentos candies for being inconvenienced. While he was being detained for the piss test, I noticed 2 of the cops were vaping. So I get out of the car and vaped while I.waited. Apparently it's mai bpen rai with the vaping in Isaan and the cops are so much more polite and jai yen than the cops here in Patts. Don't ya just love the consistency of enforcing the silly laws in this country. (sarcasm)

Dinner last night with the GF. I brought back a Tesco turkey crown from the UK and roasted it. I made peas, baby carrots, roast potatoes, stuffing, home-made Yorkshires and gravy to accompany it. Mint sauce and cranberry jelly as optional condiments. Very nice too, we both cleared our plates. Washed down with a large glass of Australian red followed by coffee and Remy Martin XO. It's a hard life.

just what the doctor ordered, haven`t had a roast dinner for yonks.

55555555 Yer they were well burnt, but it's surprising how good burt food can taste when you are camping out on the lakeside. I don't complain as generally he does a good job and I would rather that than they being undercooked.

Once you got your paper you can get smashed out your skull.😀

Really enjoyed the first day. Conversation in the bar Customer : “ who’s leading The Open?” Me: “ JB Holmes” Customer:”what does the JB stand for” Me: “I dunno.....jammy bastard “

Must have been your turn to cook 😁

I feel the need ... the need for speed

Lovely kebab looks exactly how I like em

Fish guijon's,roasties,cauliflower,brocolli,garlic,shallots and gravy.

Just got a text from my girlfriend... "Just found out you're having an affair with another woman, I found the condoms you cheating bastard. I've packed my stuff and I'm leaving you and moving back to my mothers" Goodbye... I replied "OK honey, see you when you get here!

Very common, seen it many times.

The Notre Dame memorial sausage.

The Good Yarn is a shite pub!

It's the sequel, doesn't come out until next year

Yes many of these lakes are owned by Brits.

As you have seen we have cooked on the bank but it is all part of the fun. A few big fish along the way helps of course me thinks!

Misy sur Yonne ? Well, well, I worked close to there for years, our main plant yard is in Montereau. I remember at a moment staying in a small hotel on the river in Cannes Ecluse. And even had a "person I liked" in Villeneuve la Guyard...

Lowry is really playing well, 6 birdies in first ten holes. Really stacked leaderboard, too many big names and way too early to have a favourite. Never really liked Westwood, but it would be a great story for him to finally get a major at 46. Spieth could surprise us, he’s been playing awful lately by his standards. Would love to see Fleetwood win his 1st as well. Rahm and Garcia are up there as well. Like I said, way too early and who knows what the weather will do on the weekend

My old mother in her later years was burning sausages and too be honest they were lovely. Thing is I then started reading how over cooked meats etc that are basically burned are very bad for our health and should be avoided. It is the forming of acrylamide when foods are cooked at high temperatures that is the issue. To be honest I don't know whether it is the cooking of sausages at high temperatures that is bad for me or the eating of the damn things in the first place, probably both.

Howard got offered a job in the UK and took it.

Season 2 of this.

Haven't heard that in years- used to think that was cutting edge😀

I like them well done but those sausages etc have been cremated lol

Enjoying the sun disappearing behind the trees whilst drinking Guinness. It's making a path right to me. Is this an omen and a big fish will grace my net tonight.

A truly magical weekend, never to be forgotten. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago. 🏁

I would warrant most viewers wouldn't notice any difference and would be quite happy with untweaked pics. Simple resize and post would keep me happy anyway.

Tonight's scran by the lakeside in France. Burgers and bbq chicken with potato salad, coleslaw and mixed veg. Washed down by a nice Chardonnay.

Good lad Dave is, I always catch up with him when i'm in Bangers.

If you’re hungry, pop in for a Mcdonnas kebab, with your choice of sauce.

Hiked to this lake yesterday high in the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine.

A political one (well Malaysia politics) Najib and Mahathir go into a bakery. As soon as they enter the bakery, Najib steals three curry puffs and puts them into his pocket. He says to Mahathir, "See how clever I am? The owner didn't even see anything and I don't even need to lie." Mahathir says to Najib, "That's the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result." Mahathir goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me a curry puff and I will show you a magic trick." Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him a pastry. Mahathir swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives him another one and he eats it as well. Then Mahathir asks for a third pastry and eats that, too. The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, "What did you do with the three curry puffs?" Mahathir replies, "Look in Najib's pocket."

Thinking of ways to inflict pain on my tax accountant. He stuffed up last year's return and I have just been sent a bill for $1050. I pay the prick to do things right.
