STARTERS FOR ONE
January 5th, 2005 Posted in Uncategorizedand just to add to my previous post - a couple of hours later, we all sat down to our three-course dinner. The starters arrived and I was delighted to see that my large bowl of soup with accompanying huge chunk of bread was considerably bigger than the small collection of vegetables and black pudding-like bacon that was placed in front of my neighbour.
“I bet you a beer you can’t get all that on your fork without dropping any and then eat it in one mouthful” I wagered as I cockily poured myself another glass of wine. He then spent the next two minutes carefully building up the starter onto the fork before slowly raising it to the mouth area where a theatrical tilting back of the head ensued before the entire starter went in in one solitary mouthful.
“get this man another lager”.

The food was pretty awful, as was the Italian Merlot to be honest!
Im surprised you have yet to comment on the football….
Maybe you can put me out of my misery regards the big mouth’s identity!

ah, Mr Pitman, splendid. The person in question was a certain Roger and I have resisted the temptation to rant about Man Utd. Maybe tomorrow…

A splendid bet, and a surprising winner.
That is all. I cnanot think of a single witty thing to say. It’s late.
