The great BBQ debate

Middle age descended onto Wednesday night as the main theme of discussion seemed to be about BBQ and the qualities of 'lava rocks'. The footie was almost as dull as Chelsea and Everton gave us a glimpse of what's in store for the FA Cup final. At least the farmshop pies were of the usual great standard. Phil seemed to like his birthday cake even if he did end up signing his own birthday card!

Hamster Curry

Well it's three teams from the EPL in the CL semis again - ManU v Arsenal and Chelsea V Barca. Liverpool crashed out after an epic battle at the Bridge allowing them to focus on hunting down the tiring Utd in the Prem. Good night round Phil's where there was an Indian theme as I guest chef'd makign Chicken (or was it hamster?) Jalfezi. No reported 'on the pan' incidents so far!

As Liverpool took a rare beating at Anfield due to some lousy defending from set pieces, history was made as Jill turned up for some Wednesday night action instead of the usual Ant. Everyone agreed that this was a much better arrangement although there was no-one to take the piss out of Newcastle with! Jill thankfully ignored all the warnings that she had been given by her hubby and seemed to enjoy her new found freedom.

A few members are going off to exotic locations for the next couple of weeks so hope they have a great time. Spare a though for poor 'Hammy' (pictured) who looked like he was going to have to fend for himself for the next fortnight until Darren stepped in at the last minute to offer the cash strapped hamster a bed at his mansion in the country. Hammy said, 'I hope that people don't get the wrong idea. I'm not that kind of hamster. It's all completly innocent - honest!'.

Have You Seen This Man

Was it just me or as the evening progressed did anyone else see this man. Maybe the excitement of the game or a wine too far. Funny but I could not find Andy when I left and did not see the two of them in the same room at the same time.

Wednesday 1st April 2009

It was no April fool England securred their 5th win in their world cup qualifying group that puts them one step closer to booking their place in the 2010 world cup finals in South Africa. Could England blow the strong position they are in and from previous England performances this is likely.

The night was full of the usual banter and jokes along with Lewis and Gary laughing at old school pictures of themselves. The food was a chilli and there was certainly no comments that it wasn't hot enough as there was plenty of heat to the food.

Next Wednesday will certainly be a night of interest as it is the return of the champions league whereby Liverpool host Chelsea in the quarter final.

The idea of arranging a day at the races was something that everyone seemed to want to arranage, and the question was asked what midweek evening races were on at Newbury. Please see below for details -
