Off to hawksmoor for the first time in ages for cheap Monday corkage, but I’m not really feeling like steak tbh!

Yup it was an infuriating move - I used to get it with my sky package but you could also get Eurosport for £7.99/month. It’s a shame I missed most of the giro d’italia coverage as a result 😒

I regret not following it more closely now, I was a bit put off by the lack of superstars GC contenders but you’re right it makes it a lot more unpredictable! Gonna to be at the ventoux stage this year for the TDF but I can’t see any upsets!

Wow.. haven’t been following but this is some redemption given Yates’ history on the finestre!

Uses AI images, starts article with a ridiculous premise (up to doing a huge amount of lifting in the title), mentions blockchain as a solution in the first few paragraphs 🚩🚩🚩

I think ‘the force’ is only mentioned once in the last episode - it’s a brilliant show

The wine markups are bananas as well, makes some Mayfair places look reasonable!

I’ve had a google and it does seem to be the one - there’s several claims about exercise not helping that appear to be based on v flimsy evidence

Isn’t this the book where he claims that people burn the same amount of energy regardless of physical activity? I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just launch it out of the window at that point

No idea yet so all solutions welcome! I’ll definitely be using the flowers which are out too, think the most satisfying bit will just be pulling the bloody stuff out!

It’s meant to be close to spring onions, not full on garlicky like wild garlic, probably has a hint of fox/cat about it though given my garden

Boring freezer raid for me, but I’ve just realised I have a load of 3 cornered leek in my garden which I think needs putting to use, not used it before though!

Yeah I’ve not been to poets but some great food/drink spots on churchfield road, never tried any of the pubs around there though

The weird thing with Acton is that none of the stations are close to the town centre! I think pub-wise you’re prob best off around south Acton/chiswick, haven’t been to the George & dragon for a while but last time it wasn’t great. Had food from java fusion last week was v good, sabiib v good too!

Had a sizeable leg of lamb dish with sides from the work canteen at lunch which was actually vv good so just nibbles for me tonight!

I was reading that ramen shops have started to close in the last few years due to inflation because the owners refuse to charge more than ¥1000 despite that being the price for the past 20 years or so!

90mins seems bonkers for a 1*, e.g. you’d barely be able to finish a welcoming drink and share a bottle between 2-3 people in that time! Also means the FOH & kitchen need to be bloody efficient..
