Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

And where is this bloody awful place Beefy? Perhaps we can write something a bit damning in a Google review.

 

Gunwharf, amazing food but **** management. They are opening a place in Southampton soon. Hope they change the **** rule.

 

I'm serious about the Google review thing. People can point this sort of stuff out. It gets changes made. There was a pub in Eling, a few years back, with a terrible manager and all of a sudden the customers started to dwindle dramatically. It was because people started writing bad reviews in Google. It worked. Pub changed hands for the better. Should work even better with a restaurant.

 

This may be getting sorted out by the Government. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/36185042

 

Puts things in Perspective IMHO .

**** that greedy bastards !

 

The actors' confusion could be caused by the fact that they filmed Hinterland in both English and Welsh at the same time

 

From the description you've given it seems as though you love it in spite of yourself.

 

I think it's important what he says of the NHS. The fact that they do great work despite being screwed around endlessly by Govt.

 

I like Scandi-crime which is equally dark and brooding. I also strangely love sub-titles, though Hinterland is mainly in English on BBC4.

 

Agree 100% ref the NHS . Though I agree with PIE that it's not just the Torys that meddle with it ( I am Labour BTW ) . the NHS should be treated far better no matter who is in power . We will ALL miss it if it ever goes !

Talk about you don't know what you have until it's gone ...........

 

About sub-titles, I have the familiar initial dislike of them, but oddly, once I get into them I do enjoy programmes with subtitles. I classic case would be the Italian detective Inspector Montalbano stories that I started watching because of withdrawal systems of there being no more [Aurelio] Zen episodes.

I've tried to watch the dark and brooding Scandinavian stuff but it doesn't take. With or without sub-titles.

 

Indeed. It's why I said screwed around by Govt, and not screwed around by the Govt.

 

There's one in MK too. I've been there twice. Food was ok not amazing.

 

Realised that

 

Pretty much the same here. Just relaxing all day really. FLT has my sympathies.

 

I didn't realise he has to stop playing. He's 26. FFS.

Poor young man, but at least they've spotted it and he is alive.

 

Not only has he stopped playing, but any exercise may kill him.

 

Sounds like my day too . Am having some homemade mozzarella filled meatballs (Angus beef, wild boar and pork salami mix) with fresh pasta and a tomato sauce to die for, along with some olive n sun-dried tomato foccacia for tea later. Not a shop in site all day.
Cheers for the pint yesterday by the way Dave, nice to put faces to names
