Mechela was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life.

Restaurante El Burladero is a wee bit stuffy and expensive for what it is BUT that was the best beef (cheek?) I’ve ever eaten.

Mum: learning basic Italian (going to Florence in a couple of weeks), knitting, felting, some horrible house program I can’t remember the name of.

Dad: football (primarily Spurs), football books (primarily Spurs), French history.

Both very into grandparenting.

Mum: gin and summer long holidays, seeing my kid

Dad: bike wankery, maintaining his VW van, summer long holidays, seeing my kid.

No, it is hosted by twin brothers (neither is Hugh Laurie). Never sure if it is American or Canadian.

Does he have a proper old VW camper van?

Should have said property rather than house in hindsight.

My mum had an outside shower installed (outstalled LOL!!!) earlier this year.

is yours a nudist household too?

anon29812515 · 2018-09-05T15:01:52.537Z

I don’t reckon I have seen my mother’s toilet parts since I was about ten.

grievoustim · 2018-09-05T15:35:36.182Z

I tried the cheese ones and found the flavour a little odd. deff want to try the other 2 though

anon29812515 · 2018-09-05T15:35:37.699Z

I told them not without a life jacket which they accepted. Plus the weather was shit when he started with them so wasn’t an issue.

But, I shit you not, he was returned with a brochure for super flash boats that he picked up in Chichester harbour.

Dad - still dead

Mum - In her late 70s and mainly phones me to ask if I watched that day’s episode of The Chase (the answer is always no as I am never home in time, mother).
