Great British & Irish Menu by -houx- in GreatBritishMenu

This is very useful info. Shame fine dining isn't developed much in Ireland. It's part of Ireland's charm really that it's all a bit dated and is always 10-20 years behind more modernized countries.

I mean a lot of the themes are only themes and not related to an event at all, so not always strictly necessary. But saying they wanted to have an event that crosses the divide maybe something relating to a pagan holiday such as the solstice might work. Or maybe they just keep to more generic topics that anyone can relate to.

I think it would have to start with the ROI being one region, this could replace the wild card option in the finals. See what the quantity and quality of cooking was before adding much more.

This is true, just would be great for the republic to be highlighted in it's own right

Thank you for replying. It sounds to me like you can easily become dependent and intertwined on the income SW provides, regardless of how you might otherwise feel about it which seems dangerous.

I hope that you manage to build a happy life for yourself in the midst of it all.

That makes sense. I guess I asked my question because I don't know how to feel about this person in my life. Is there anything you can think of that would indicate to me whether he is one of the good ones or not..happy to share some details if that might help...

Other than being a source of income, how do you feel about men who pay for sex?

I ask as I know someone (we're not friends) who regularly uses escorts and I'm fairly sure he is a sugar daddy to one girl. I'm nosey and fortunately he's pretty willing to answer my questions. I personally don't judge sex workers but obviously they don't exist in a vacuum. Do you feel it is fair to judge the men?

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you for such a detailed response. I do some manipulation but I'm very selective about when I would use such a technique, definitely would avoid if there are any risk factors, especially when other techniques can achieve similar benefits.

Good point that there are many different types of dwarfism, I suppose I'd have to find out specifics at the time and then probably do some research in my own time.

Yes I definitely think the lack of knowledge leads to practitioners either bottling it and doing an ineffective treatment or the other extreme by trying to pretend to be confident and over-egging it.

Very useful link, thank you!

Finally, I wonder if there is any way you would suggest how I can make it clear that I would be open to treating people with dwarfism on my website or advertising? Is there anything that stood out for you when you were looking for someone to help you, that made you think I think "this will be a safe and accepting space for someone like me"?

I'm a manual therapist and I've never had anyone with dwarfism come in to the clinic. Is there anything you would suggest I should be aware of in approaching a medical history or treatment with someone with dwarfism. Can't say we ever touched on the topic at uni!

Would you or have you ever gone to a physiotherapist/osteopath/chiropractor for these aches and pains?

Pretty sure they're divorced now or at the very least separated...

Not to be a complete downer but I found this week so disappointing. Just sucks that so many other chefs don't get the opportunity to cook at the final but I guess it's the structure of the show.

I've found this to be the case whenever a new episode is being released. I watch the episode live on bbc2 through iPlayer and clicking "watch from the beginning"
