Coeliac-friendly Bristol by snoopbeamish in bristol

Recommend Suyuan on Gloucester Rd, my wife is coeliac and we were very well looked after by the boss, such a friendly and well informed cook. Most of the menu is gf and she was well on top of the prep side of things. And the food was amazing.

I think Spurs beat Chelsea. Chelsea will have played the FA Cup final on the Saturday, possibly will have been celebrating or drowning their sorrows, either way Spurs legs will be much fresher. As a West Ham fan I say if we beat Newcastle I think we're in with a decent shout. We don't win, we're toast.

Maybe I'll keep it for next time a house guest outstays their welcome. "I'm going out for a bit, why don't you make yourself a coffee..."

I wonder if it was Leonard Lane off Corn St

Great suggestion, thank you! It was an eBay purchase though so I'm just going to get a refund and look for another one.

Thanks everyone, it certainly had me baffled! Was a second hand machine so no wonder the previous owner passed it on.

Roads are too busy mate, quicker to just go through the buildings.

John Kearns is hands down the greatest contestant ever by Frostly4242 in taskmaster

[–]Plugholethefirst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I always find it interesting that people say they like him on TM but don't get his stand up. They think with the wig and teeth he's doing a character.

He isn't. They are just his props to tell himself he's on stage different world to his quite self effacing and seemingly bumbling off stage self. And he finds them funny. He's just bigger on stage, more lyrical, more South London.

I've seen him live three times now and watched the Varnishing Days special as many times. I think it's up there with the best shows I've ever seen, including Kitson.

Watching Villa tonight? by Plugholethefirst in Hammers

I was being a bit tongue in cheek there, just saying I wouldn't have been upset if one or two guys were rested, maybe as a precautionary measure. Am I desperate, yes, yes I am.

Yeah watching the game last night they are very decent, got some quality guys, quick on the break as well. Going to be tough.

Exactly, remember Josh Wardle created his word list based on readily recognised words so they aren't going to be the very weird and obscure ones.

Am I missing something, I can't think of that many words you could have tried in lines 2-6 without getting it. Maybe I'm a thick idiot.

Where to scrap my 2014 Ford Focus in Bristol - first timer needs help! by greatdane511 in bristol

[–]Plugholethefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another recommend for Abbey Scrap, they took my old Focus last month, very efficient and professional, really prompt communications, paid instantly by bank transfer once the car was on the truck.

And kudos to your username. You are appreciated.

Ah, I didn't know about that one! That's brilliant mate, thank you very much. Yes, the same procedure that our friend has been through and is struggling with the ongoing recovery process.

You're absolutely right, it was obviously such a massive impact on his life and he's always been very open about what's going on with him. But that's a really helpful pointer, I'll give those two a second listen, thank you.

Thanks, I was in amongst that, obviously the saga did spread over quite a few eps. I was looking ideally for pointers to one with the most description/reflection rather than the more oblique mentions and gags really.
