More importantly I HAVE RUN OUT OF GARLIC!
That last happened in 1997, trauma counselling was needed, I’m off to the freezer to see if I have ant frozen cubes, if I don’t I’ll likely black out, if I’m not reporting back soon someone call the emergency garlic services fast!

Edit: There is frozen, just the inhaler then

That’s an eclectic lineup - my lust for Pat Benatar versus my intense hatred of The Lumineers…that would be quite the internal battle.

If it's anything like NOLA jazz fest they've got several stages so you can wander back and forth to see various acts. You can always go grab a bite to miss the Lumineers.

I think Pat and Neil are playing somewhere in Ohio soon, maybe up by us? I'll check.

I'm starting another thread: Homesick.

Why do you need a new thread if this is in general chat? It's not off topic IMO

Because I think it's worthwhile. There are several ex-pats who might want to add something (in Australia, Singapore) and I think it's worth a discussion.

Are you homesick LOL? I am not sure it will get revisited again after moving it, as many people in the forum live near where they grew up.

Well you might want to rethink the title of the thread when I get done here LOL.

Mr SSOAP’s birthday next Tuesday so we’re choosing this weekend for the festivities.
The boys will both be here and Mr SSOAP will have whatever his heart desires for food.
He requested surf and turf.
I got a bit excited. Yum, surf and turf, the possibilities are many, now what to choose...

Imagine my disappointment when it transpires Mr SSOAP actually wants steak and scampi on the same plate
Sounds like the slap up option at a hideous 70’s greasy spoon

There will be no pics, no evidence this ever occurred will exist, this post will self destruct in 5 seconds

I had a few moments free between stints in the garden and realised that I hadn't updated them in rather a long time so they were rather out of date, nerve the influx we've received...

I know not everyone likes them, but those that don't can ignore them.
