It was good thanks man. I grilled some J. Oliver approved steaks and served them up with spring onion mash and a cream/mustard/onion sauce. Bought a new lampshade, place mats, crockery, cultery, and glassware, and topped it all of a with a bottle of Lanson. To be honest, I got off on spending all that money, and could justify it to myself, which makes a change from fretting for hours after buying a cream eclair when the money could have gone towards the laundry.
How was yours?

Fine. Couple of steaks, bottle of wine, allowed Kirsty to watch a cheesy rom com as a special Valentines Day treat.

a lady did this to me too. After I'd paid, she went "I know what you're having - steak!" So I just said "yeah, I'm having....steak" and shuffled off. I don't know if she wanted me to be amazed by her powers of observation or something.

See? Funny, huh? "and it let us come in our speech" is a winner.

This almost exactly describes the meal I had cooked for me last night! Have you been sharing tips with J, Benway? Or is it some kind of 'kinesthetic' approach to pre-coital cooking down in Man Land right now? *shudders*

I did Observer-approved roast lamb studded with garlic, rosemary and anchovies, followed by Nigella-originated chocolate fondant puddings that are spongy on the outside and melt in the middle, with creme fraiche, all from scratch, and didn't even get a shag. Posts: 4537

That's criminal, a nice bit of roast lamb should earn a shagging, maybe the anchovies spoiled the mood ?
If you'd done it with mint sauce and yorkshire puddings I'm sure you'd have got one, hell. if you do it tonight I'll be erect and on the first plane out

It cost a blasted fortune, and all... Good recipe, though next time I'll leave out the lemon juice. I've got about four pounds of the creature left over, if you want to come round for an oil change. That's not a very good RAC metaphor is it. Oh.
What can one do with left-over lamb? Perhaps a curry, or perhaps leave it in the fridge until it goes off.

I chose the leave it in the fridge option this week. I took a few Brian Blessed style bites from the huge bone yesterday and then tossed the rest in the bin. I should be shot.

I love Brian Blessed style eating... I have two steaks in the freezer for when the diet is over, maybe later I'll make Femke take a picture of me holding one because they look like something out of a Flintstones cartoon..

One of my friends' party repertoire includes "Brian Blessed does Basil Brush" - just imagine it - *BOOM-BOOM*. Another friend used to do "Bowie does Bond", but I haven't seen him for a while :sadeness:

Darryn: Thank you! So good to have somebody on my side!! (Vitriolic look at Ringo). Tell you what, though, everyone says this 2 part thread's been rubbish, but it got everyone talking, n'est pas?
I am, indeed, female.

I still haven't seen anybody properly disprove my theory!

I'm a bit disturbed and disappointed at myself that my efforts for Valentine's Day were apparently precisely the fucking same as every other 30something man in Britain. However I bet you didn't all sing that song from Chicago with your missus when you were washing up the steak plates. The one where Richard Gere has thing on some strings and goes "where d'ya come from?" her: "Misissippi!" "And your parents?" she, squeakily: "very wealthy!"
I have had a terrible cold for three days which is roaming around my body... chestburn, throat-rack, now infesting my nose and head. I think the medication is doing me as much harm as the sickness. I swigged half a bottle of Sainsbury's bronchial mixture on Sunday afternoon and was soon staggering and shivering. Last night I shoved cotton wool up my nose and within an hour it seemed to be crawling in sodden lumps towards my brain. I dreamed about doors and passages opening and at 2am woke, thinking I was getting some revelatory insight into the workings of English Magic. Today I am scouting my office wondering what I can use as a bed and whether I could sleep for 20 minutes before I have to go to a late lecture. All I've consumed today is water, black coffee, Vicks, bronchial mixture and some sweetmeat from the Islamic Awareness Week stall downstairs. I think I might pass out.

Turtle is a poster who turns up periodically to start threads in which she presumes to tell people what they are thinking. Her trade mark moves include a patronizing delivery and a supercilious belief that she understands people and their motivations more than they understand themselves. She is usually way off the mark.
I wasn't accusing you of being her, though your "no one has disproved my theory" shtick is certainly something she might come out with. She also tends to post a lot of over-familiar stuff - a bit like you did when you were describing Louche yesterday (of course you might know Louche better than I was led to believe, in which case it's my mistake).
I'm probably being harsh in making the comparison between you and Turtle, PMD. For what it's worth, any contribution to the boards at the moment is a welcome one as far as I'm concerned - fair play to you for posting and starting threads. However, I once said something similar to Turtle and she became a mentalist within 5 days, so if you feel yourself turning even weirder, that's probably my unintentional curse taking over your soul.

Either I am in a ludicrously unfit state of mind to be at work "leading" a "Field Team" or opening doorways into exciting new corridors of human insight, because I just spent 2 minutes staring at that word "excellent", thinking it was spelled wrongly.

Carved TMO on her clit just to make you feel bad

Haven't a cocking clue who Purple is, and the over familiarity contributed to my describing it as weird. There's a fine drawn line of people what can get away with over familiarity with me.

My favourite bit about turtlely excellent adventures is that she is always nice to Jonesy at first, then when he sniffs her out, turn sinto a shrieking wild thing. Like the librarian ghost in Ghostbusters. I expect.
