Parsnip

Most of the time I eat like a dog.

Who the hell is this massive belllend?

Robbed. Absolutely robbed.

My dog is gutted.

What about the Sikhs? Everyone likes the Sikhs. 

This badass is my dog's brother - best working dog winner at Crufts today. I'm actually not a massive fan of Crufts and that kind of dog showing, but my boy is proper champion stock and I'll be cheering 'Dave' on on Sunday where he's up for best in show.

It's utterly remarkable. Everywhere you go in northernmost Norway they've ultrafast 4G broadband. No blackspots at all, out in the wilderness. Roads all go through the mountains so they stay passable. Between Tromso airport and the town the tunnel has three roundabouts with roads going off in different directions. Puts us to shame - it's like living in the future. Booze a bit pricey mind...

Knee or didn't happen.

This thread's full (full I tell you) of kneeless photos. Shocked and appalled by the ruling.

Decent 4G reception up in the old North Pole is it?

Up in the Arctic. Oh yes... 

What a coincidence! I happen to be in the Antarctic right now! Look here's proof...

Or in other words... get your knee in or it didn't happen.

Dispatch brand new trainers in this condition. Wasn’t eBay either but an online retailer, £70. Had to send an email straight away with pics just so I don’t have issues returning them, will think I’ve spilt a cuppa!

 

I recently had an issue with a purchase and I received a huge outpouring of support and help in the thread I started so have a read though that If you need any advice.

Although it looks to me like you have indeed spilt a cuppa on them so I think you're just going to have to soak them both in tea and think of them as a special edition.

Some chips at least.

In my defence I only drank 5 of the Staropramen.

You'll not see 50 ?

I should have bothered my arse to put some salad with it eh? 

I'm a simple man of simple tastes.

Tonight's dinner is a co op rump steak with a dressing of smoked chilli mayo and 8 x cold Staropramen. 

Prep time: 45 min (inc. going to the co op and buying the steak and beers and giving it 20 mins to get to room temp before it goes in the pan)

Cooking time: 10 min (inc. 5 min resting time).

Low carb, gluten free, Man dinner.

Do you work in the industry @Carl Sagan?

Bohemian Rhapsody 

5/10

This is meant to be Freddy Mercury we're talking about. Way too anodyne for me. You can see why Sacha Baron-Cohen didn't work out in such a sanitized version of the story. Astonished his replacement Rami Malek is up for an Oscar. 

Wow is that true?? He would've been brilliant.

Thai spiced Whiting with a noodle and cabbage stir fry, topped with chopped nuts and served with a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

 

Looks superb and I'd eat it because I have no self control. But i'd regret it all night because my body would react to eating that pile of chopped nuts as it would to drinking the contents of a Duracell battery.

Christmas is a difficult time for me with all those tubs of nuts around. Very often you'll find me keeled over in a corner clutching my stomach, face covered in dry roasted nut powder. The Mrs standing over me shaking her head with zero sympathy.

Just waiting for my SIZE YOUTH SMALL shirt to be printed...

Here you go @McRainy

Sorry for the delay.

Yeah but hang on, I'm in to gifs at the moment, mainly Cheryl Cole gifs, so I'm looking for one that says 'yes' or summat...

Would work better if you changed "he's poo" to "his poo".  Not such a great compliment as it stands

Well that was supposed to be the little joke. Was never going to be that funny though. No great loss.

I have to have a good few beers to before I have chicken enjoy mate

Alright next Sunday I'll do a nice rare rib of beef for you. Tonight though your gonna have to make do with Mrs Parsnip's Linda Mcartney sausages.

I'd run through fire for a good roast chicken dinner though. The secret is, and @froggg will back me up on this because he knows he's poo, is you want a small chicken. Better to have two small chickens than one big one. They're so much tastier. And it should be proper free range - not just access to light crap - proper natural. And then don't be afraid to undercook it. Once you overcook it it's game over. And baste that bad boy.

I would not run home for chicken dinner

Yeah well as it happens I'm now cooking the very chicken dinner I thought I was running home for. I've got myself all nice and comfy in the kitchen though...
