It's not as bad as most people think as you only see whats on the news, but we are on a fully guarded site with armed security all ex Ghurkas.
True there is a hint of danger the closes we have had so far is about 400 metres down the road and I'm next door to UN headquarters in Kabul, which so far (touch wood) has not been attacked.
I also have 9mm insurance just incase in my bedside draw

Just been to Moggy's to pick up a few bits for a rather ized version of Niçoise and thought, "ooh, I'll just grab a bottle of Sauvignon while I'm here", when I came to paying, the assistant did a double take to check my age.

I would take it as a compliment, but she was clearly having a laugh.

Tinned anchovies?

Tinned anchovies are actually perfectly acceptable.

It's one of those dishes that even in Nice, if you went to ten different places, you'd get ten different versions.

How was the hop picking?

Unbelievable U-turn! You've completely forgotten the spat we had last year when I dared to buy tinned anchovies for my Caesar salad dressing! I believe that ended with your ridiculous attempt to cover up my Jensen still life with a bizarre picture of Mohammad Al Fayed.

Hop off.

Are Nicoise and Caesar the same thing now?

Are they the new people in the Renault Clio ad then

So it's OK to use tinned anchovies in some recipes but not others? To be absolutely clear, you're saying tinned is fine for Nicoise but I should've had fresh for Caesar?

Probably wrong about that, so cleverly ignoring it and not posting on the thread.

Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Upsetters and The Ethiopians all the way this morning, only thing for a rainy Sunday morning.

Are you going to take that ruddy Al Fayad poster down at last, then?

I've got my special tapestry up at work now. Ms. Terrorist says I should take it down,reckons it's potentially a disciplinary issue.
