  1. Sorting out our Christmas decorations found a HMV voucher I lost just under 2 years ago. It said it expired after 24 months so popped into town to see if it was still valid and it had £15 on it so I picked up Ted on Blu Ray.

    Think I found it just in time.
     
  2. Was Ted worth your money?
     
  3. No idea, haven't seen it but I had to do something with it. Queues were huge so wanted to get in and out.
     
  4. Bravo. A free bad movie is better than a good one you have to pay for.
     
  5. Nvidia seems to have really gone driver crazy lately. They are really on top of things. They have updated with Beta drivers for Assassin's Creed III and then Far Cry 3 right on time, and now the 310.70 WHQL has been released. SLI profile and a 38% boost in performance for Far Cry 3 was included. I guess this is one of the bonuses one gets for Nvidia card ownership.
     
  6. Got our Christmas Party menu sent round, what would you choose? Thank god they gave the options in English as well as French.

  7. Are you thankful for the English or the French because if it's English....oh boy.
     
  8. Tis a French restaurant and looking at the menu I expect it all to be very French.
     
  9. you know what the classy thing to do is in this situation? order while saying the French name of the dish in a southern American accent.
     
  10. We have to let them know what we want by the 14th so I shouldn't have to say any of the words, or attempt to when the party comes around on the 21st.
     
  11. Stir fried tiger prawns for appetizer, stuffed guinea fowl rolled in Parma ham for main course, and chocolate and coffee gateau with cappuccino ice cream for dessert.
     
  12. Well I'd try the mussel casserole followed by the stuffed fowl finished with the Xmas pudding.
     
  13. Ew, tiger prawn samosas? naaah
     
  14. Looks good to me!

     
  15. appetizer: wild boar
    entree: slow cooked duck
    dessert: creme brulee
     
  16. appetizer: tiger prawns
    entree: red snapper
    dessert: crème brûlée
     
  17. In the end I went for..

    Tiger Prawns
    Guinea Fowl
    Tart Tatin

    Who would have believed it 2/3 the same menu as Alterego, it appears there are actually some things we agree on.
     
  18. There weren't many items on that menu that sounded unappetizing to me. Pumpkin soup, venison casserole, and passion fruit soufflé might be the sketchiest for my tastes.
     
  19. Can't believe you passed on the creamy mussel casserole.
     
  20. Can't stand mussels, horrible slimy thing.
