AB_Headingly looks worserer and worserer and scruffier and scruffier every time I go through it. Is the Polar Bear still open? I used to spend absomalutely fucking loads of time and money in there. You've also got one of the best covered meat and fish markets in the north of england just a 10 minute bus ride away. You'd know what crap markets were if you lived where I do.

Do any of you lot get home and say "phuckit, I can't be arrised preparing a load of poncy crap, I'm having a pot noodle, a packet of chocolate chip cookies and a litre of coke"?
If not, you've never lived.

I used to when I was single. Well maybe not that, but just a pizza. Long time ago now though.

I reckon my view of him might be coloured by mrs bris's family who swear that he's ruined the Padstow and the surrounding area. ie, he's made it popular and given all the local people jobs. Thick as fuck the cornish.

I don't think that would help you, AB. Headingley seems to be largely full of the student types who are entirely bankrolled by Mummy and Daddy. Remove the cap and you'll only price the normal students out of the market; the annoying, cuntish, far-more-of-daddy's-money-than-sense fuckwits will remain and indeed proliferate. And nobody wants that. Besides which, aren't you supposed to be moving? No, I'm staying put as I have a job offer. I'll need to learn Geordie as I'll be working in Newcastle until June when they open their Leeds office. I'm old now (next lot of freshers will have been born the year I started university) so all students seem fairly cuntish and it is rarely the posh ones who cause aggro at the Co-op (when I'm being Bad Dad and buying fags, booze and formula milk at 2 in the morning). It isn't the braying voices who have a fortnightly haircut for more money than I'd ever spend. My impression is that it isn't rich parents bankrolling their kids but rather that the majority have to take out fairly huge amounts of debt to study so think "why not take an extra few grand and have a car, mobile, Barleyish haircuts, the odd shopping spree at Harvey Nicks" etc. Better to reduce the supply of places than to price ordinary kids out though, I agree.

I was born not far from Aylesbury. Not far at all, in fact. I think I used to go swimming in the leaisure center there - a Logan's Run-esque geodesic dome - a stark modernist challenge to small town sleepy chocolate-box Buckinghamshire. That's what I thought at the time.

Ah I see, so they're tourists to Padstow who are annoyed that its not as unspoilt/undiscovered as it was before? fair enough, the locals are always blatting on about how he's ruined the area as well.

Essentially Rich yes.
Although the toffs have overtaken the mrs bris's family's favourite haunt, Polzeath and I think they blame Stein for that.

The problem with a lot of these areas is that people don't just go on holiday there, they buy property. Property prices go up and the locals get pushed out, which turns the towns into ghost towns. Similar has happened with Whitstable (which is actually a bit wank and in my experience quite rough) and my Mum and Dad went to Salcombe a few years back just before the season started and it was effectively shut. The few locals left were furious, although I don't imagine they're complaining when they sell up for ludicrously inflated sums.

What can I cook with only a kettle (and no fridge to put stuff in) that isn't cup-a-soup or a pot noodle? I've been living in this fucking B&B for about nine years now and if I have any more takeaways I'm going to ACTUALLY TURN INTO a GENUINE lard ball.

Fish. You can cook fish in a kettle. Or at least there is something called a "fish kettle" isn't there? (Unless it's a euphemism)
This probably doesn't help, does it? What you need, m'dear, is a sandwich toaster. Hmmm?

You can cook fish in a Fish kettle, but it's a bloody great big thing and strangely enough it's sort of fish shaped.
Incidentally the saying "A different kettle of fish" actually refers to a "net" full of fish which apparently was known as a kettle. (I learned thet from HFW by the way)
Spoonfish, get a crockpot (slow oven) they're piss cheap and run on fourpence ha'penny's worth of leccy.

Actually, yeah, listen to Mitch. You can shove your dinner in them (crockpots) when you leave for work and it's ready when you get home in the evening. As long as you are making stew, casserole or soup, that is. They're not much good for fry ups I suspect
