Cazza - I love Come Dine With Me too. I watched one last night with some stuck up bloke. He hunted deer for a living and was critical of EVERYTHING they all cooked. But they were all quite polite back - think I'd have just clobbered him on!!:rotfl:

Makes me mad just thinking of that bloke! :mad:

Definately would have chinned him after about 5 seconds.

This thread moves so fast that I just don't have chance to keep up! Pleased to report an AF grand total of 4 so far (with this being my 5th day - is the plan).

With week one done and dusted, I feel quite proud of myself for limiting alcohol to two days only. And it's thanks to this thread! Normally, I make promises to myself that I do not keep after, um, one day...

Anyway, I love Come Dine with Me. Did anyone ever see the one where a bloke served pigs trotters with Moet? Hilarious and vile!

On the point of alcohol actually, the episode when the rude deer bloke hosted his own dinner party, one of the female guests got absolutely paraletic. She was really loud, talking utter carp, swaying all over the place and being very rude herself. It was awful to watch, but seeing things like that are a great reminder of how embarrassing and pathetic we can get when we get out of our heads drunk.

Exactly what i thought while watching it. Cringeworthy really isn't it, the scary thing is though i know i've done much worse in the past.

Everytime I have seen Come Dine with Me there is always someone so obnoxious on it.:mad:

Haha talking frog.:rotfl:

Sorry this is a very old joke I know.:o:D

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

And another one.

This woman rushed to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off: “Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were bloodshot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What’s WRONG with me, Doctor!?”
The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says: “Well, I can tell you that there ain’t nothing wrong with your eyesight….”

On opening his new store, a man received a bouquet of flowers. He became dismayed on reading the enclosed card, that it expressed "Deepest Sympathy". While puzzling over the message, his telephone rang. It was the florist, apologizing for having sent the wrong card. "Oh, it's alright." said the storekeeper. "I'm a businessman and I understand how these things can happen." "But," added the florist, "I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party." "Well, what did it say?" ask the storekeeper. "'Congratulations on your new location'." was the reply.

Cazza, Yep I watched the food critic one and then the one Miss P is refering too above. Was on CH4 8pm last night, based in Croydon. One woman got horrendously drunk and down right rude. But deer stalker man was just as rude and appeared sober....

Oy Oy.

Is Yellowmonkey keeping tabs on the September total? I've finally rid the fridge of all excess beers so I'd like to start again please. no AFD's so far I'm afraid, but I intend to spend the rest of this month AF.

It's time for the GP 100 Day Alcohol Free challenge.

Can he do it? Probably not. But that's no reason not to try, is it...

My 100k cheshire bike ride went off really well yesterday and all that training up in the peaks put me in good stead. I think it was a great idea to train on steep, rolling hills because the actual course of the ride was extremely flat, so it was a doddle in comparison.

Total time was 5 hours 50 minutes, and that included 3 rest stops. Whoo Hoo! I'm now in training for the Coast to Coast race (175 miles)....

Dear John

I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV.
My car started stalling and then it broke down about a mile down the road and I had to walk back to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbour's daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour's daughter is 19. We have been
married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won't go to counselling and I'm afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently.. Can you please help?


Sincerely,
Sheila



Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine.
Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.


I hope this helps,
John


Have a good evening all
