Sabras - Willesden? S

I have asked this question before, but both Murray and Barney claim to be the Sturgeon King It is a small claim but vexes me. Which one truly is the Nabob of the Sturgeon? S

I couldn't agree more Hateful habit S

The most unlikely combination of words since the use of "Balic" with "Soap" I am with Jay on this one and Shite is a good technical term S

Great report Gareth We all pondered on the Lamb. I wish I had tried it now S

Surely living in Manchester, your abode already resembles that of Charlton Heston's in The Omega Man S

Thats nothing, you should have seen me when I spotted Helena Hell. Frothing at the mouth was the least of it. jay mentioned this last night. If I recall through the haze of Buzbag, he used the words "tented trouser" S

Thom While I wont rehash last year's conversation about the list ( the words sham and spurious should suffice ) you should ( in all seriousness ) be congratulated for what is an excellent marketing coup Plenty of column inches, lots of publicity and a good night out RM should be proud of you and should now give you a sufficient raise to allow you to fulfill you dream of moving to London, if only enough to make it south of the river S

Chef/writer - Now if they had been in the kitchen talking about my supper, that would be inspirational. On a stage collecting a bauble, not a quiver. I leave that to Lynes S

is there a finger down throat emoticon?

Have you not noticed, he is always like this, although much as I hate it I do largely agree with him. Only in their own imaginations in most cases. Paul are factions forming Yup Those who hate celebrity chefs and those who want to be one

I am shocked. I thought they would replace it with a new one of a different colour each time you went to point percy at the porcelain S

To be honest I could not give a monkey's sphincter if they are in town. No more than I care if J Lo is in town puffing up her new film/record. I could however give a damn if they were in the kitchen on the night I was there. They are after all chefs not celebrities ( someone hand Lynes the smelling salts would you?) S

He was Master of Ceremonies and Roger Moore gave out the awards. A-list gig then? Was Peter Powell unavailable? S
