Yep hook up from the N154 to the Autroroute than becomes the A75 straight down to Beziers across Millau bridge ... quickest way for me but split the journey by car now and stay in Bourges. It’s a good route around Paris although I am not keen on that area of France
Still Game - it's only just get UK wide audiences, but has been a massive hit up here for years. It's about the antics of a group of OAPs who live in a block of flats in Glasgow - very funny, although I think you may need to understand a bit of Glasgow humour (or be an old git!)
Projecte Qu4tre Reserva, Catalonian red (blend of 4 grapes). My wife was sent a box of six wines by a client and we needed something to go with the lamb, so I plucked this out as I had never heard of it. I had low hopes given the poncey name but a very gulpable and distinctive house red. We are now at the stage of the bottle where it would be churlish not to finish it. I’ve looked it up and less than a tenner a bottle (trade I think, can't find a retailer). If the other 5 bottles (2 reds, 2 whites and a rose to go) are of this standard I’ll be rather impressed.
Now, under the influence of the wine, I am watching Blue Planet and spent several minutes wondering how a creature as thick as a tuna can live long enough to grow to 60 kg (I may have misheard). Then I remembered many people of my acquaintance who weigh a lot more than that. Blue Planet remains outstanding, though I think it jumps around too much, I could easily have a hour on just about every segment of these programmes.
Atlantic bluefin tuna (max. length: 4.6 m (15 ft), weight: 684 kg (1,508 lb)). I caught one (well we caught one ) off of Montauk , Long Island a few years ago which weighed about 770 lbs. The captain sold it for nearly $5000.
These were, I think, yellow fin, in the Pacific (Galapagos). Sea lions chase and trap them in shallow bays, tire them out and have a snack. Then a bunch of sharks turn up and pinch their dinner, at which they get visibly pissed off. Outstanding. Judging by the tv certainly not 770lbs worth of tuna. That’s a big fish.
It is sold to Japanese buyers who ship it to Japan and used in Sushi, Why do you think someone would pay us $5000 for a fish?
