You sent me one as I recall. I did reply ( obviously easier to reply to a PM than instigate one) 🙂 Oh I think Quilp may have sent me one as well to which I also responded.

I hope you manage to get your messaging sorted so you can now send as well as receive. But don’t get too smart, you’re really quite lovely just as you are. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people think that Ramsey is so far from civilisation that it is near Uranus. Hopefully, when Tesco take over Shoprite, they will include an up-market delicatessen section selling Super Noodle. Super Noodle - on a bed of rice with a drizzle of olive oil and garnished with something green. Served with a nice Chianti. I've just had to return to this because this gave me my biggest belly laugh of the day yesterday. Please keep posting more like this and more of your wee stories in general. They're lovely. From now on, when I see packet of Super Noodles in a shop I shall think of you, with fondness. Hope your head is OK this morning. Anita informed me last night that she hasn't been behind the bar in the Rovers for months. Some friend I am to not have known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely thought my Dad is the only person (apart from possibly some dusty old Toffs in a semi derelict mansion) that eats that stuff. I always have to order it online for Christmas. Personally I think it's foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 In the English Midlands rugby fraternity a sing-a-long containing the words "Gentleman's Relish" had somewhat of a different connotation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you shout at me, l do know what Moet Costs. Maybe it's a special reserve.
