[Guest Hooli]

Cheers.

[Ghosty]

It is cold.

We are inside.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

This is the episode of Payne, the American remake of Fawlty Towers, I referenced at length:

 

 

The American equivalent of a Morris 1100 turns out to be a Mercedes W114:

 

 

...and this is the American equivalent of hitting a car with a tree branch. 

 

 

If you're thinking "well, that's kinda missing the point of the tree branch bit", then please watch the series so you can see every single joke from Fawlty Towers re-made but worse. 

 

 

[Junkman]

Are you saying it's payneful to watch?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I’m at Brussels airport where ignorant fucks serve croissants sans butter.

[Guest Hooli]

There is no reason to go Brussels, it's just a bit of france really & we all know what they are like.

[Junkman]

I’m at Brussels airport where ignorant fucks serve croissants sans butter.

 

Croissants ARE butter, ffs. Almost 100%.

 

Yeezuz, the English and food. Talk about ignorant fucks.

[Guest Hooli]

Says the man who orders steaks burnt to death & ruined.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Steaks should be seen and not burnt. Croissants require jam. Butter is merely a primer.

[Junkman]

Yes, I don't like my beef still breathing, like the English do.

Croissants should generally be avoided, but if need really be, only eaten in France, although I understand the difficulty in obtaining them there.

They require nothing but "une noisette", preferably without sugar.

When in Belgium, however, I'd prefer something proper to eat, which is readily available there.

[chodweaver]

Chips then, with mayonnaise...

 

And sprinkles?

[chodweaver]

Ooh! Extra topping? Yes, please!

I’ve eaten German/Austrian food. Schnitzel, sauerkraut, Knudel, alles mit fleisch, chips, mayofuckingnaise. Even Germans don’t eat German food given an alternative.

 

“An army marches on its stomach, which is why we invaded France in 1940. Pass Le Beure Mon Ami”

 

Erwin Rommel.

[Junkman]

Yes, because you are English and thus know fuck all about food.

I bet the very same menus offered something proper to eat.

[Squire_Dawson]

I wish sponns offered hash browns.

[Guest Hooli]

I wish sponns offered hash browns.

 

American rubbish! I thought you had standards squire?

There is more chance of finding a place to eat in the middle of a Russian winter after a scorched earth policy than in france at a mealtime.

[Squire_Dawson]

American rubbish! I thought you had standards squire?

Ha ha. One of Junkman’s favourite breakfast items I believe. I do enjoy a nice slice of SPAM however.

[Guest Hooli]

Aye Spam is allowed, it's damn tasty fried & in sarnies with brown sauce. It's odd considering it's origins that it's now so expensive I view it as a treat.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Yes, because you are English and thus know fuck all about food.

No Indian food served at Brussels airport sadly.

 

Or British blandness, alas.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

There is more chance of finding a place to eat in the middle of a Glossop winter after a scorched steak policy than in france at a mealtime.

The last time I saw a steak that burnt, Joan of Arc was nailed to it.

[Guest Hooli]

It's just occurred to me that the first tues in Jan is new years day. Do we want to do this then or wait a week so it's a normal day?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I'd almost say wait a week. We will all have more tales of inadvisable car purchases, Xmas / New Year nonsense and debauchery.

 

Mind you, New Year's day is the most miserable day of the year so.................

 

I'm easy either way. 

[Dave_Q]

I'm easy, don't do traditional new year's eve superboozing (any more) so will be fit to attend. 

[Guest Hooli]

I'm not bothered either way as I don't do the whole NYE thing either, just thought I'd see what the views are.

[Ghosty]

I'm also indifferent.

 

What are the New Year's opening hours?

[Guest Hooli]

 

What are the New Year's opening hours?

 

That is a good question...

[Dave_Q]

Nothing online, you would need to ring or get a tame Cleon-Fonte to go in and see if they've got a board up.

[bub2006]

I'm game for new year's Day also. I've but ventured up the pass in the picasso yet.
