Finally finished season five of The Wire, wish there was more of it so Breaking Bad it is. Half way through episode four already just about to stick the second half on, only downloaded season one last night. Brilliant, just, just brilliant. No spoilers but the very end of episode two. Hahahahaha! Oh shiiiiiiiii . . . . . Probably wouldn't have bothered without all the name-checking here so nice one, appreciated guys. :)

^ I only watched The Wire recently. Really is as good as everyone said it was <3

Is it The Shield that was by the same bloke? Can't recall but remember folks recommending that one too. Enjoyed that one a lot too.



Deadwood swears <3

aw, now you this hoople head wanting to rewatch all of Deadwood again, my favorite all time show. For an open-mic poetry reading I once put together this "found" poem taken all from Deadwood quotes, called it "We've All Got Bloody Thoughts", had a blast reading it

Everyday takes figuring out all over again
how to fucking live. 46 corpses in a fucking hole
that ought never to have been dug. They’re afloat

in some fairy fucking bubble, lighter than air.
Him, her snatch and his stupid fucking badge.

The Chinese whore has a ancient way of milking
ya of yer sorrow, your loneliness and that awful feeling
of bein’ forsaken but seems to me that’d leave you
with nothing. Change ain’t lookin’ for friends.

Change calls the tune we dance to.

You cannot fuck the future, sir. The future fucks
you. It is no disloyalty to be a realist. We are mortal.

One hopes for the best. One perseveres. One re-evaluates constantly.
One is an asshole if one doesn't.

Let the camp return to its former repute: unstable and unsafe
for commerce. Make a list of the infected whores

and account for this morning’s gunfire, and I’ll publish it all.

Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair or fucking beatings.
The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more
punishment in store. Stand it like a man—and give some back.

That's all I say on that subject, 'cept God rest the souls of that poor family
and pussy's half price next 15 minutes. It's the learning
fuckin' nothin' that keeps me young.
 
I dont think I've seen any of Hestons shows. But masterchef was coming from his restaurant kitchen last night and the dishes on the menu were crazy, in a good way.

One starter was duck liver, waldorf salad and salmon presented in the form of a Fab, Twister and Rocket lollies :)

2 people just won, sharing the title which is cool.
 
Ya. Sounds like almost cliche Heston stuff that - seen him do that one before on another show. He's big on retro. Very big. His food excites me inna "never gonna get a whiff" sense. If there weren't a gazillion year waiting list for his gazillion quid a head menu at his resteraunt I'd be well up for it. His TV shows veer from droolworthy foodpr0n to cringey nostalgic, overromanticised twaddle. The latest series firmly in the latter camp for the most part. The previous C4 series where he just took one basic ingredient (potato, cheese, chicken, etc) per show and did sexystuff to it was excellent though. Bordering on achievable at home too.
 
His big book is fucking brilliant, It's not on the bookshelf in here, it's in the kitchedn and I can't be arsed to stand up and go and see the title...its a really excelent book though...

The last series Heston did was just so much twat. Rubbish.

I would love to eat at his place one day though, although I think Feran Adria has been doing similar stuff for longer at El Bulli in Barcelona...actually dunno if it'#s still going, but if it was, i'd go there first....

But yeah Hestons an amzing [properly brilliant and dedicated chef, but his TV persona is turning into a joke. He'll end up ruining his chefly rep.

Masterchef was great, the joint winner Anton's restaurant is pretty closeby to us, we've never eaten there...

Here's his sample menu...might be a good meal =D

El Bulli is shut. fin!

In April they're meant to be auctioning off the El Bulli wine cellar in order to fund the chefy-schooly-thing they're going to replace the restaurant with (it was never ever profitable, not that it was about that per se)

Wine cellar is meant to have a reserve of something like 1 million or near abouts

The latest Heston TV show thing made me want to dry heave. I love Heston, but the show was fucking worthless as far as food was concerned, imo.

I do not wish to see Heston striving to produce the worlds biggest choccy hobnob or superduper breakfast cereal, kthnx.
Trying to get 'the great british public' (URGH!) back into eating breakfast/dinner/lunch/tea classics by bringing back an even shittier LARGER version of the slightly less shitty original we all used to know and love. Newp. did not like, no not even when the teapot was edible and the king kong boiled egg tasted like marmalade (or whatever) ;p

Entertaining tho, but just not very interesting foodwise like his normal approach to food is.

I LOVED the last gordon ramsey* and jamie oliver TV cooking guides tho .. both of them reaaally helpful and useful and not even repetitive of past shows. Liked lots. Jamie's 15 minute meals has been inspiring to watch, as was Gordon's basic cookery course series and recipes

* not a Ramsey fan normally. annoying shouty person etc

I've never eaten in a posh restaurant and so think it would be quite intimidating but like you say, I'd be up for it :) Lets you me and MM go, we'll have to do a runner naturally but its OK, i'm fast :)

You should book for some time in the future or its going to get really busy really fast, the prices will go up and he'll move on :) he came across a good bloke, I liked the other two as well. For a chef winning thats like winning the lottery career wise.

We've eaten at Michelin restaurants before, they are far less intimidating than some pretentious pub/brasserie "fine-dining " place frequented by moneyed middle classes...which serve shit food...you know the places I mean, high prices, but not food to match, menus and decor the same as all the other places....

Michelin restaurants are lovely places, but the food is the centrepiece, they don't look at your clothes, care about your accent, they want you to love the food...I have no problem whatsoever in a Michelin restaurant telling the somellier I know almost nothing about wine, and let him/her suggest wines for us...same with the cheeses...

whereas in these middle of the road middle class high priced shitehouses they'd look down their nose at someone who's not too sure about wine or whatever..

Yeah I'm up for a meal at the Trelby, not doing a runner though, fucking oiks you lot =D
 
I've never eaten at a "proper" resteraunt in me puff. Depending on how you define "proper". Nowt posh though by a very long way. Closest to posh I've had was a resteraunt that cooked fish as well as meat. Do believe I was within a sniff of a "proper" resteraunt (might've been Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver... some celeb chef anyway) when being taken out for the night by a coupla Glasgow-based EADDers (*waves if they're viewing unseen*) but the Maitre'D took one look and said they were all booked up. They definitely weren't. Two of us had vicious ulcers in the mouth from excessive stim abuse though so probably for the best in the long run.

Heston definitely wasn't the first to do that "molecular gastronomy" stuff. That Spanish fella and a French bloke can argue the toss over that one. Maybe even toss in at least one other British chef I forget the name of. Not that I'd have a clue really. Just watch loads cheffy shows.

MM: Ain't those just the menus from his pub resteraunt? I'd feel shortchanged if I didn't get the full Fat Duck taster menu experience really. Actually I wouldn't. A sniff of decent grub and I'm anyones =D

B&W: Hit and run? Fuck yeah. You're on %)
