A.W.B pick up the pieces

simply but tasty starters

ok you need top go to a reasonable sized supermarket to buy flakey or puff pastry

heres a few things you can do with it .

roll it out on a floured surface till thin but not super thin cut it into small squares about 3cm by 3cm and put a dessert spoon of brie ( small square ) inside , fold up wetting the edges with water to seal it properly , the better seal the better it comes out , bake these in a oven till they are browned and flakey . normally served with a rasberry sauce(but use any type of berry you prefer) , 1 punnet of raspberries or some frozen 1 glass red wine 1/2 cup sugar cooked down a bit so it reduces on the stove .

its called bie en coute

Another thing you can do with puff pastry is roll it out thin then place things like ham and cheeses slices and whole seed mustard , or salmon cream cheese and capers on it the roll it up so its like a spiral , cut the roll in to little pieces and bake these until they puff up

you can use all sorts of fillings on these left over thai curry ,. pesto and cheeses ect

Having just gotten home to Ireland for the first time in three years I am completely blown away by the changes in my town.

20 % of the population are foreigners (mostly Russians and Portuguese).

There is 98% employment, which is pretty much 100 taking into account people who are sick and just don’t work.

There are thousands of new houses built and prices have nearly quadrupled.

I never could have imagined such a drastic change in a place, I have lived away from home for over 10 years now and noticed small changes when I came back to visit, but this is quite surreal as its nothing like the place I left, its great to see everyone happy and doing well.

What changes to your hometowns have you noticed when returning after a while???

Nuns and booze?

Are nuns better with booze, or is booze better with nuns?

BTW, what kind of nuns?

Sorry thaibebop, I should have thought about the above, 'drink and nuns' reference.

Redrus avatar is a character from a british comedy show called Father Ted. In the show there was a retired alcoholic priest 'Father Jack' - this is the character in the avatar. Father Jack slept through nearly every episode waking occasionally to shout "DRINK" or "NUNS".

The show was very funny and popular but kind of hard to explain. I admit it doesn't sound funny explaining it. Three priests living in a house together in a rural community, but it was hilarious!

father jack a retired alcoholic????

whats the only type of meat a priest can eat on friday

nun

our little tots is another year older,and seems to be nearly recovered from his couple of nights out

Sunday. Having a hangover on Sunday just sucks.

So UR with me then TBB? Saturday hangover? !!!!! (not Sunday?)

If you have to have a hangover Saturday is the better day.

Nothing starts fresh on Monday.

LJ? Did i hear right you were snogging in Surin at 8.30?? And had to leave...?

We should have kept you locked up in the dungeon with Wolfie... You definitely will be coming in the back door the next time...!

yeah ver y true patsycrap,we went out to dance to that rod stewart song,you know the one?????????

Beer and Donner Kebabs where I come from!

Donner Kebabs, what are those?

I'm not so sure of the spelling, it could be 'doner'. Anyway, it's a pitta bread sliced open and filled to busrsting point with a minced lamb that rotates on a cooker, which is thinly sliced, they then add chilli sauce, garlic sauce (other things perhaps?) - in a posh place they add a 'tiny' bit of salad.

Most people have only ever eaten them drunk as they are a vile greasy mess, the lamb usually tastes like cardboard, hence the sauces, and they are impossible to eat without making a mess and for many people, vomit inducing!

However, a guy in Ireland made them with good quality lamb, properly cooked, good sauces and always fresh (not guaranteed anywhere else) and they did taste very good. You didn't need to be drunk to enjoy one, I'd sometimes have one for my evening meal on my way home from work...

Sounds just like something we eat here in the states called, Hyros (spelling isn't right). It's a Greek dish, or mediterranean in general. I love those!

gyro's tbb,gyro's

well i havent managed to get drunk as yet,but there is always tonight..................................

its 7:39 am,in Bangkok at the minute.just having some breakfast then heading up to Surin meeting up with totster and yorky in lampys pub,i'm giving drinking lessons to the English today

dancing if not drunk is just wrong!!!!

years ago when i worked in a bar in ireland one fella drank 72 bottles of guinness in 12 hours and didnt eat a bite,i gave him a lift home and he wasn't too bad.

i got there the next day to open up and he was waiting to get in,i asked him how he was feeling ,he said"i'm a bit stiff from sitting down all day yesterday"

btw these were warm bottles off the shelf

oops i misred the title

I didn´t tell anyone is was my birthday... I AM TURNING 30 ...

Glauka, I turn 30 in April. Its not so bad.

I'm travelling through South East Asia though to take my mind off it.....

redrus

I turned 30 14 years ago, trust me turning 30 is fab, turning 40, well now, where do I start...

Hey 40 is cool, what's wrong with 40?

Happy 30th Glauka... you're a REAL woman now!! Do you feel any different?

BTW, a little barfly tells me that LOVEJOY has secretly entered the Land of Smiles. Will he start a "Lovejoy does LOS" thread?

very true,i snuck in under the radar,nothing very exciting to report yet,24 hours on a plane is great craic though.

hopefully i will make a fool of myself tonight somewhere

happy birthday g ,as a spritely 31 year old i won't say life gets any better over 30,but it hasn't got worse which is good enough for me

btw seuga you got your harvey ball wanger recipe mixed up a bit,its vodka oj and galliano(the really tall bottle that no matter how long a bar is open they never finish the bottle)

my hotel smells like curry

The Message - Grandmaster Flash

Broken glass everywhere

People pissing on the stairs, you know they just

Don't care

I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise

Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice

Rats in the front room, roaches in the back

Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat

I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far

Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car

Chorus:

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to loose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder

How I keep from going under

Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window

Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes

Blow

Crazy lady, livin' in a bag

Eating out of garbage bins, used to be a fag-hag

Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go

To search a prince to see the last of senses

Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps

So she can tell the stories to the girls back home

She went to the city and got so so so ditty

She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her

Own

Chorus:

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder

How I keep from goin' under

My brother's doing fast on my mother's t.v.

Says she watches to much, is just not healthy

All my children in the daytime, dallas at night

Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight

Bill collectors they ring my phone

And scare my wife when I'm not home

Got a bum education, double-digit inflation

Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike

At the station

Me on king kong standin' on my back

Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac

Midrange, migraine, cancered membrane

Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might

Hijack a plane!

Chorus:

My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school

Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a

Fool

And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be

Cheaper

If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper

I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet

Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps

Cause it's all about money, ain't a ###### thing

Funny

You got to have a con in this land of milk and

Honey

They push that girl in front of a train

Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again

Stabbed that man, right in his heart

Gave him a transplant before a brand new start

I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy

After the dark

Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the

Run

I feel like an outlaw, broke my last cast jaw

Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a

Seesaw

Chorus:

A child was born, with no state of mind

Blind to the ways of mankind

God is smiling on you but he's frowning too

Cause only God knows what you go through

You grow in the ghetto, living second rate

And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate

The places you play and where you stay

Looks like one great big alley way

You'll admire all the number book takers

Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers

Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens

And you wanna grow up to be just like them, huh,

Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers

Pickpockets, peddlers and even plan-handlers

You say I'm cool, I'm no fool

But then you wind up dropping out of high school

Now you're unemployed,all null'n' void

Walking around like you're pretty boy floyd

Turned stickup kid, look what you done did

Got set up for a eight year bid

Now your man is took and you're a may tag

Spend the next two years as an undercover fag

Being used and abused, and served like hel_l

Till one day you was find hung dead in a cell

It was plain to see that your life was lost

You was cold and your body swung back and forth

But now your eyes sing the sad sad song

Of how you lived so fast and died so young

We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!

Please note.. these are all numbered “1? ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.

You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down.

We need it up, you need it down.

You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.

Let us be clear on this one:

Subtle hints do not work!

Strong hints do not work!

Obvious hints do not work!

Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” We will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine.. Really.

1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.

OK - try this one.

Not a Capital City in case you had not figured that out!
