I went to Marco Pierre Whites bardolino place in the cube on Friday for a Italian afternoon tea.

Came with fizz.. which was a flat glass of asti. 

And the food was shit, apart from a tiny chocolate brownie.

Whilst i didnt anticipate a great deal, it was actually much worse.  I don't understand why a supposedly prestigious place would get people in via Groupon (gift) and put them off going back and paying top dollar, when their offerings for small afternoon teas are so rubbish.  

Just seems nonsensical to me.

We bought a decent bottle of red to go with it though, which was quite nice.

Stick to the Toby Carvery you commoner!

Gammon faced, brexit voting, neo Nazi confirmed.

Notice how emtional he claimed to be in his Bruce post.  Now notice that BRUCE is white a white man, and didn't express this emotional extent when a black persons father died.

Case closed your honour.

Is that your order of preference when you request a home visit?

Yet to find one with all the above qualities. My quest continues.

Universities. Jobs. Housing. Banking. There is a wealth of evidence that points to the fact that on average, non-white people are at a significant disadvantage in these areas. 

Could you just expand on that please? Interested to hear.

Yeah, I should have shopped around as I’m certain I can do it far cheaper. As a one off I sucked it up but I won’t be doing it again.

Needed to post a parcel (old laptop sold on eBay) so took to post office. Weight is 3kg including the box and charger. Cheapest service is £12.98!!!!

WTF, she said it’s because it’s over 2kg.

Piss takers.

I hope you cleansed your hard drive.

I wonder how many club card points they got for this then?  

Fair play Nev! 

Although reading that article it says his partner is 54! Obviously fancied a change!

Sad that is was filmed and it is now in the public domain. This sort of stuff happens all the time in the workplace but nowadays with social media it can ruin lives.

@Xela might though. Stalker. 

I will just look around Mere Green until I see a Pep lookalike listening to MJ in his Audi. Only a matter of time...

Would they of refused entry to the President of Iran, Amhadinejhad, whose antisemitism is well documented, and who has even questioned the holocaust ? I don't think they would of. Hence, hypocrisy. 

The antisemitism card was nothing but a pretext.

I think the ruling Government takes a selective view of things like that when it comes to comes leaders of states! 

Just seen footage of @sne preparing next weeks menu

Seriously, as others have said, just be honest with them.

Are there honestly still people buying diesel cars? Haven't you been watching the news over the last 5 years?

A colleague of mine purchased a nearly new Merc diesel yesterday, which I thought was strange.

Had a 2008 135i coupe for about 8 months now, lovely looking car and 300hp. But oh my, the frequent visits to the petrol pumps are killing me.

Nice small engine diesel next me thinks.

Nice. Bet that's got a turn of speed and a half!

I'm not quite in the same league but my 3.2 A3 pumps out close to 250bhp and it is rapid. I'm finding the fuel economy ok though mainly because my old 328ci was averaging about 18mpg towards the end so this is an improvement!

I remember when they refused Farrakhan entry into this country. The hypocrisy behind that decision was unreal. The fear of an intellectual black man, that he may awaken minds with a dreadful truth .

He was refused entry due to extreme religious view, namely antisemitism, i believe

He's 82, and has been reading the Mail for decades. It did make me laugh though, because it's so ludicrous .

I'm sure I have read that levels of TB, hepatitis and HIV have increased as immigration into the UK has increased. That is what your grandad may be on about.

They kept me waiting for the face to face interview but I have it on Wednesday in Birmingham. I like the fact they asked if I wanted to do it after work. So an interview 5pm on Wednesday. 

Leave plenty of time, traffic can be a right bitch from 4pm onwards.

Very big business too I hear without sounding morbid.

Once went out with a lady who was an Undertaker and she was telling me the markup on items is phenominal.

 

... she was dead good in bed too. (Sorry) 

A well run and established funeral directors will be a gold mine, especially if it has a monopoly in the town. Small overheads and big margins. Extremely profitable industry and with an ageing population its a profession you can make a killing in (sorry as well)

Because of you I am now listening to this album.. and brings back the youth (if that's the right phrase).

Some great songs and despite his personal issues he was one talented artist imo.

You are welcome

Watched lion with the missus. Starting was good but middle part dragged. Ending killed me. Bought me too tears. Worst thing is I had to hide it from the missus or would never hear the end of it. She wasn't moved at all! 

Its a great film. 

GUDDU!

I used to do a bit of work in that sector, from a financing perspective, so that's my excuse!

@Xela @mottaloo i’ll Let you know what it’s like.

 New Talbot Quinton

Nice. Next to Amber Tavern if i'm not mistaken 

I've been to the New Talbot in Wednesbury and it was excellent. This one is obviously run by the same guys so you should be in for a treat
