Re: food, I often find that portions are way too large - an American influence, I expect. I'd far rather pay a little less and have a smaller portion of higher quality food, rather than being outfaced by it, and leaving a load that goes to waste.

When i were a lad 'street food' used to be called a burger van or hot dog stand and it was twice the amount of food for a third of the price! 

Question though... was the street food 'artisan'?

I got dragged to a market yesterday, one of the stalls was serving a fairly small portion of nachos. Maybe 15 tortilla chips with the stingiest serving of salsa and guacamole I've ever seen. 6 quid. 

You should try Borough Market, £10 for cod and chips, no where near as good as the cod and chips at Dad's Lane Fish Bar.

My local town centre is having a festival of it this weekend called 'The Big Nibble' and is rammed of all sorts, charging a fortune for everything.  To be fair I'm with mooney and not bothered by the size of the portion if it's good and I'm having three courses anyway.

I expect to not still be hungry if I've just paid £10 for a lunch.

I had an absolutely delicious pork rib and apple sauce sandwich and a beer in Borough Market for less than a tenner. Mind you, us Norwegians get a little giddy every time the beer alone is less than a tenner.

Vaz has always come across as a smug,oily creep and whenever I saw him on tv as head of the select committee, giving some other fecker being grilled about something a really hard time, I always thought "one day it'll be you".

Well Keith.....ain't karma a bitch !?

New desk at work with my screens facing the whole office. VTing is going to be tricky.

I'm in a very similar predicament.

Other than, I'm home with the stereo cranked up and the patio doors open so I can see all the way up the garden.

Slow cooker is on and smelling fine, beef and carrots in a port sauce later. Time for a coffee now.

Probably have a tug at some point.

They'd have to bang the wall pretty **** loud.

No, she's a deaf old lady. I've told her a few times she's more than welcome to tell me if it's ever an issue, if she has visitors or anything I'll happily turn it off. She just says 'eh,what?'

I trim her bush now and again when it looks a bit wild and I think she sees it as a decent trade.

Plus, it's a fairly insulated corner, we've got proper brick walls and the speakers are sat on acoustic foam and all that. Anyway, everyone loves my taste in music so I presume I'm doing them a favour sharing my killer tunes.
