Well, when I saw the title I was going to say 'Gin and Tonic, please, Dutchy, and plenty of ice and lemon - thanks very much'. Damn! Anyway, I gather you're a submariner?????? Have I got the right chap?????? Hey, I'm the Submariner on this board! I'm being adopted by a Plymouth family for Christmas dinner as I'm on Christmas duties. They didn't want me all on my lonesome in my cabin Oh, shiver me timbers, I got me Dutchies mixed up! Sorry, Pete!

V similar to us Duchy, although Mar Lady puts maple syrup on parsnips & she has to have cauliflower cheese, cause she is veggie. However, I scoffed at MrsBath when she suggested pigs in blankets, cause I don't think they go right with beef... I'm having beef with pigs in blankets B/S , carrots and parsnips chopped together lots of butter That's how we always used to have them at home, 'Arry. I chop them into chunks and roast them + olive oil @ 220'C for 40 mins, turning them over at half-time. Add F/C parsley when they're done. Very nice! The Maple Syrup or honey option is very good, too.

Through me in jail 27 years ago . Only just decided to go back last couple of years What did you do mate ? .... We saw them stop a car being driven by a British woman last year , she'd obviously been drinking but they dragged her out of the car and gave her a good hiding before throwing her into the back of their jeep ....thugs ! At least they didn't put her in the BOOT........ Took me a week to get the creases out of me frock.

NO! No Christmas Pud with brandy sauce! The Guardia Civil on Friday will be NO PROB - I shall just dazzle them with my superb command of their lingo. 'Holaaaaaaaaa, muchachos' is what I will purr at them to start with. - Which reminds me, next time you go back over there, make sure you greet each one of them with 'Hideputa'. They'll love you for it! You have to be careful with those Civil Guardia wallahs , some of them can be quite testy .....it's the green uniform....they still think they are working for Franco ! The local Police are much more approachable ..... " Hide who " ? Cut the innocent act, Bisp! As you well know, it's pron. ee-day-poo-tah. Or, even better, if you have a little more time, give them the full version and greet them with a wave and a cheery 'Hijo de una puta'. It means 'Good morning, wonderful officers - how smart you are looking today. Long live Franco'.

It's surprising what veg you can roast to add to the Christmas dinner table. Some that we will be having are roasted peeled beetroot, roasted celeriac, roasted squash and the Mrs does roasted carrots with the parsnips done in maple syrup. Romanesque Cauliflower instead of the normal cauliflower is yummy and seasonal plus Lidl are doing a sprout like vegetable but it's leaves are more open sorry can't remember what they are called but only need 3 or 4 minutes steaming and much sweeter than sprouts.

If you want to get more sweetness and flavour, just cover them with water knob of butter and boil vigorously until the water evaporates, you will be left with a very sweet carroty glaze . Toss in the glaze

They're lovely roasted, though.

We saw them stop a car being driven by a British woman last year , she'd obviously been drinking but they dragged her out of the car and gave her a good hiding before throwing her into the back of their jeep ....thugs ! Went to Majorca with then wife and kids , stayed in an apartment. My Mrs wasn't well so took the kids out to a local restaurant. They ordered spaghetti Bol , I ordered fish and salad . When the food came , very quickly it was all Luke warm and the spaghettis were both covered in big flies . Remember those display plates of food they used to put in the window , that was what they served us . Obviously a quick flash in the microwave. I called the waiter over and showed him . I said bring me the bill we're leaving. I offered to pay for the drinks which any decent restaurant would have comped . The manager came over and said don't worry we fix it and took the plates away . The same plates appeared 2 minutes later minus the flies . I told him again I wasn't eating or paying for the food . After a long argument he called the cops . Luckily my wife's relatives who were there wandered past and took the kids back to the apartment. I went to the local nick and was put in a cell . I was told I would stay there for 5 days till the magistrate came over from Parma . I had no choice but to pay . The cops took me back to the restaurant. Where the smarmy git smiled at me and said see I told you that you will pay . At which point I threw the money in his face and attempted to punch him . The cops had me against the wall with my arms up my back whilst joking with the twat about English hooligans .

That's dreadful mate but a familiar story on Majorca I'm afraid ( probably in other areas as well,) I'm sure that type of thing has gone to a certain extent these days ...they can't afford to antagonise tourists in that way now , of course back in those days it was different .
