I'm having a deja vu moment here but , I need to know - is Kai si ming the dish of choice in Borewood?

fortunately only among a diminishing minority, bbo, who still cling to women's weekly and margaret fulton recipes

do you still take your pots and pans down to the local romsey oriental take-away?

    No. The local oriental take-away is on Uncle Bitter's punishment list. They did not bow and scrape sufficiently. I now take my wealth elsewhere.

    Is there half a chance we could all lift the level of conversation here? Chicken, cats, dogs,foxes, with lemon, like what are we eating now, with rice or not?

    27 & 19. Is there more to life, that is worth exploring I wonder!

    OK probably not here!

    I better go to bed.

    Nice one, DC. Now we can work our way through the countdown via the menu ... (apart from 4 and 5 it seems).

    Must say you have to love a menu that includes both chips and a meat dish under 'Vegetable Dishes' ... :):mad::blink:

    Dr John. You are clearly a man of letters ...and numbers... so you maybe able to help me out with this. I have heard (yes I know hearsay) that in certain establishments in SE Asia that young female employees are in fact, identified by a number that is textered on their .... argh ... person.

    Apparently the idea is that if you wish to have an intellectual discussion with said young ladies, you ask the maitre d to invite, let us say number 69 24 over to your table.

    Is that your understanding of the process?

    I think we may be at cross-purposes, Uncle Bitters. I fear that either to confirm or to deny your impressions about the practices of certain exotic establishments may damage the remaining few tatters of my reputation irreparably. In fact I had in mind something much more pragmatic, given Mr Cutter’s legendary standing in the more familiar establishments of Burwood, in that the use of numbers seemed to suggest a form of mnemotechnics (as we say in the trade, though I have in truth forgotten what trade it is) based on substituting retirement villa or apartment numbers for the names of their residents.

    Perhaps I was wrong to do so. I notice that the more innocent, or those with more generosity of spirit amongst us, such as the inestimable Biffen, have taken Mr Cutter at his apparent word and see nothing more licentious at issue than the consumption of Chinese food. If so, I will need to regard Mr Cutter from hereon as a mere gourmand rather than (as others had promoted him to be) a gourmet of more interesting tastes.

    Duly noted Master. That's what happens when you skim posts like I did of Earl's from yesterday.

    Anyway, at least we know what is on the menu for tomorrow as the countdown continues...

    lol this thread gets better everyday

    What a perceptive little vegemite you are. Enjoy the wonderful frivolity on here, away from the bitterness and nastiness of some of the other threads. The only sniping allowed on here, is about the magnificent countdown, that drives all of us onto greater and more wondrous achievements.

    As grasshopper HT has told you it is Sour Chicken Balls day.

    Who would want to eat the sour balls of a chicken? It just makes no sense, as Seinfeld the Grand Wizard used to say.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
