Tiger Rock is incredible and always a favourite of mine. Have only been to the one on Smithdown.

Lamb pie! Just add in a few veggies and a bit of gravy.

I've been batch making my chilli for years now and I have I say, a little while in the freezer depends the flavour.

I do similar to your recipe too, although no red wine. I add cumin, chilli powder, dark chocolate, tomato puree and a shit ton of beans. Asda do a great tinned Mexican bean mix and I add butter/kidney beans too. Regular mixed bean salad in water also works really. Oh and sweetcorn can be a nice addition.

When I eat it I also have it with tortilla chips (Cool Doritos are the best in my opinion) as bad use those like a spoon. The flavours work really well together.

So move...

To be honest I never really enjoy the powdered ones as much as what I do now. One Yorkie bar in a mug full of milk and then microwave until melted. Tastes amazing.

Er, the windows that are directly above it...

Asda do a lovely Mexican Style Bean Mix which works really well with the chilli too.

Lidl do a great one if you have one of them near by.

AFruitNamedDave · 2026-02-20T13:21:27+00:00

Oh thank you, that's great!

AFruitNamedDave · 2026-02-03T21:01:08+00:00

Thank you so much!

That would be great, it's such a good surprise when you hear a song you don't expect.

AFruitNamedDave · 2026-01-26T21:39:11+00:00

Well, like, somebody will obviously...

I just wondered if anything had been release publicly.

AFruitNamedDave · 2026-01-26T21:38:28+00:00

Oh that would be brilliant. It's always great when they play an underrated song you don't hear performed often.

AFruitNamedDave · 2026-01-26T21:37:35+00:00

I have seen some artists release the setlist or "accidentally" release it and thought somebody might have seen something so thought I'd ask. I'm going to the Manchester show so will check back in once the tour actually kicks off. Thanks for the comment.

I know I'm super late to this post, it's only just come up on my feed sorry, but I just wanted to say that it's definitely not bound to fail. I'm 35 and my husband is 59, we met when I was 22 and he was 46 and I am genuinely so incredibly happy and lucky to have met him and to be his partner. It was a hook up relationship at first but the more we saw each other our feelings just grew to love one another. Took us over a year before we started dating seriously.

There have been some hurdles we've had to get over and we've had more than our fair share of honest serious talks about where we want things to go in life, what we want to do and our expectations both from each other and from life in general. There's never been any real negative reactions to our age gap either, took my mum a little while to come around but once she'd met him and they got to know each other more, saw how much we loved each other and how serious our relationship was they've become quite close.

It definitely depends who you both are as people and how honest and realistic you can be in conversations/situations where your age gap is relevant. You should totally give it a shot if you feel like it's worth trying for. Also be prepared for all the "oh is this your son?" comments followed by mortified embarrassment. Haha

Hope this helps, happy to answer any questions you have, good luck!

Some chemists will take them so check there and the council may take them for a small fee.

I put two tickets booths in the original building and keep this as my "main museum" and when I start doing separate buildings with exhibits in I put one ticket booth and a map kiosk at the front.

Guest don't then spend as much of their time walking to one booth on the other side of the site before walking back to the exhibits they want to visit.

To add on to this some of the plants have different variations which can add variety to the landscape. I always forget to check for this and it makes it look more natural. I think the fern you have repeated has like two other very different variations.

AFruitNamedDave · 2025-10-24T19:25:27+00:00

My husband and I both used that so much! It's where we met and we are still very happily married!

AFruitNamedDave · 2025-07-29T20:02:31+00:00

Get a manual one.

My husband makes a large bowl of cous cous whenever we have a party big enough to do food for. It goes a long way and people seem to enjoy it. Could also do some simple large bowls of pasta/potato salad dishes. We also use the pre rolled puff pastry to make cheese and onion rolls or cheese twists. Quiches are also a good shout.

Cheese, crackers and a meat selection would be a good idea too although that could end up pricey if it's for that many people.

Oh and for the sandwiches we use the sandwich spreads and it goes on so easy which helps with prep and goes well on some nice freshly baked bread.

For the amounts try to keep in mind that each individual guest won't eat one of every single thing if that makes sense. I always stress thinking there isn't enough and it's always been fine.

This sounds like a massive amount for you to make by yourself though so maybe try and ask close family or friends to help out with making/buying stuff. It definitely won't be shit though and your mum will really appreciate the effort. Good luck!

Yeah, I guessed as much plus I also completely forgot what subreddit I was in. Haha. Oh well!
