    Lol, and cheers! Yes, antipasto in Italian. You don't really pluralise it. Well, no part of that was homemade. It was all bought from Lidl, which is why I keep banging on about the place!

    One of the best things they sell is their Italian and German cold meat selections, pickles and antipasto. It's truly top-notch and knocks anything that Waitrose, or any other UK supermarket, sells into a cocked hat - at half the price!

    Yes, i live in between the school and the church.
    My teenage years were lived in either the Case or the Wheatsheaf, and sometimes the Whitehorse in Capel if i was desperate
    Also, and i've just remembered there was a tiny pub in Tattingstone (the orange box?) that i had a few pints in once and only once. I recall being so drunk i couldn't ride my FS1E home and had to stumble home instead, in fact i seem to remember waking up in a field.
    Good days.

    Wheatsheaf is my local (cycle over from Stutton on a Friday) - If you ever go there (when this shit is over, God willing), I'll be the good looking one playing boule

    As if! Nah, I did start to do a reply, then the battery died, then I went to bed, then the message timed-out, then I forgot what I meant to say anyway, then I went about my day

    Anita doesn't just make cakes, she does all the cooking. The baking is just an extra thing she's took up this last few days for something to do. She plans to make some smaller cakes tomorrow, and my plan is to spray paint them silver, drill a hole in the bottoms and sell them as record clamps - God knows I could do with an alternative income to tide us over till June

    Picnic didn't happen today, weather wasn't to our liking what with all the wind. Looks nice and warm at your gaff, but you're helped by having that semi-enclosed space by the back door for your table etc. We are a lot more open and exposed here, so I'll wait for a more settled day (prob Tuesday).
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
