That's one thing I regret about living dahn sahf. The area round here's nice and hilly which is good for a stomp around on the weekend, but the odd park aside, it's not exactly picturesque. Would love to live near interesting countryside again to give me the motivation to get out and about a bit more.

Just had some couscous with sundried tomatoes, pumpkin seeds and basil for lunch. You guys are an inspiration.

Then what? Smear it all over yourself while moaning "pukka tukka!" in an increasingly heightened state of arousal.

I'm a lot less bothered about this than I thought I would be, mainly because Collins and Herring have really grown into the role. Shame there isn't room for both/all of them...

Aye. Hard not to admire raw talent like that, but it's funny how many raw talents seem determined to make it hard for you to admire them.

Had him down as a potential winner from the start, mind - the young blokes often are - so I wonder if he was only in it for the money and he didn't have the motivation to keep going once they got rid of him.

Tucking into a John West Tuna light lunch as we speak. "Tuna, peepers, rice, sweetcorn, kidney beans with Mild tomato salsa". Less than 200 cals and only 3g of fat and a free fork. Ideal for tomorrow's curry 'n' cake pigout

Let's say it is, because I've just bought tickets for the Richard Herring "Christ On A Bike" DVD filming/Collings & Herrin Podcast double-header at the Leicester Square Theatre in May. Also going to see Carter USM in Brixton in November. Ridiculous.

Aye, it's not a bad match-up sponsorship-wise. Except they're stapling it onto a show full of people who'd order three meatball marinara foot-longs with extra cheese for a "light lunch".

Mind, it did undermine the show's "exercise, exercise, exercise. LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!!!1!" approach when the bloke who did his knee in the first show and couldn't move for three months ended up losing more weight than his team-mate who was boasting about being able to play rugby again but had clearly also got straight back on the pies and beer after leaving the house.

I suppose there's no point in rushing him back if we consider ourselves to be largely safe from the drop. The desire for an improbable European place doesn't seem worth the risk.

Never knew she was a fan of matchday threads.

OK, OK, sometimes I drink white coffee too.

About two pages ago I was gearing up to say "this thread has made my fucking night, cheers lads". Then it all went a bit

That's why I like my coffee like I don't like my blokes - big, strong and black. Negates the need for hamster food.

aye, but a lot of them are just one word replies

Not a deliberate Dr Ken copy, but I'm doing chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella and wrapped in parma ham on a bed of roasted courgettes, tomatoes and garlic. Buttered new spuds on the side. Smashing.
