Feel free to report back on your own findings too once you're back. Can't have her dictating everywhere we eat when we get there

Recommendations from herself. Some may be easier than others to get reservations. I would tentatively suggest that trying to eat at all of these places will bankrupt you too! https://www.esquinanyc.com https://carbonenewyork.com https://www.hfcnyc.com https://peterluger.com https://katzsdelicatessen.com (a given but included for the sake of completeness!) https://www.carminesnyc.com https://archiestap.com https://clintonstreetbaking.com https://www.cafecluny.com https://jackswifefreda.com https://www.jacobspickles.com Edited to add: https://koirestaurant.com/new-york/ (because @NurembergVillan hasn't yet popped by with his usual recommendation)

https://poppiesfishandchips.co.uk/ Multiple locations - very much caters to the tourist crowd but it's still pretty decent.

I’m heading there in a couple of months. Birthday present from the missus. Rangers game at MSG is top of the list but am also doing the Hush Birthplace of HipHop tour. She is also insistent we are going to her favourite restaurant - Beauty and Essex. She used to live there (NYC rather than Essex) so I’ll see if she has any other suggestions.

Possibly already posted (I’ve been away) but how on earth does this cockwomble keep getting airtime?

That’s awesome to hear. I’m in the same boat. A year in and it’s still all grand. Just spent a fortnight in the US with her meeting all her friends and family and it’s clear from what I’ve seen and heard that she’s just a good egg. I mean, I knew that already but it was great to have it confirmed. Really pleased for you!

Flying ant day in Kennington today.

Do you any idea how many elite professional athletes (including footballers) are vegan? I think you’d be surprised.

I saw him in person on Saturday at Atlanta. He was the standout player in the game but I’ve no idea how he would translate to the Premier League as the overall quality on display from both teams was so poor. Luis knows his stuff though and seems to be all over the tellybox in the US so if he’s in favour, I would be too.

Was somewhat surprised myself. I really wanted to enjoy it and didn’t want to be sniffy but it’s a very different experience to watching a top flight game in Europe.

Currently enjoying my first MLS live game in Atlanta. Unsurprised to see our Brad’s goal kicks going straight into touch still.

I am one of many sad trolls that helped push the vote to 90% in favour of Labour/Libdem/Greens

What the difference between black eyed peas and chickpeas? The black eyed peas will sing us a tune, chickpeas can only hummus one.

BBC saying a debris field has been found by an ROV in the vicinity.

Can't believe this got no likes. There's nothing funnier than people repeatedly falling over.

Sounds familiar. I exited what turned out to be a horribly manipulative, toxic relationship and six month later met a really lovely, kind person (who I've been dating for a year now). I think you're on the right path. I communicated early on what my issues might be and she understood and worked with it. It takes time to get over the defensive posture that you have to adopt in a negative relationship but if you've picked a good 'un, she'll appreciate your honesty and support you. I've had a year of not being manipulated, accused of lying, accused of having an affair with a lesbian, gaslit, taken advantage of and it's glorious. It's not always easy to quiet the negative voice that pops up every once in a while but keep up the communication and enjoy your new found relationship.

I guess because I'm not partisan when it comes to cricket, I thought it was a fantastic test match. The fact that this England team seem to want to entertain as a priority is a huge boon to the game. I get that if you've skin in the game, there's probably a few things that might frustrate but what a fantastic advert for the five day format.

Didn't Ginny suggest in that article last week that he was still up at BMH reviewing tapes of the Brighton game?

Wesley thread at the top of the page? No point checking the transfer threads then

There's plenty of people in this country for whom glee is the response when a boat full of immigrants sinks. I don't see that response on VT (thankfully) and I'm not sure I'm seeing it in this case either. I have thoughts on which one should be more of a concern but now is probably not the time for that.

Superb bowling from Jimmy there.

If she thought it wasn’t funny, imagine how the lettuce felt!

I’d tentatively suggest that it’s possibly the opposite. For the majority of the last 20 years he’s been close to drinking himself to death. The fact that he’s alive and well(ish) is a cause for celebration.
