    I've been making my wife traditional Vietnamese dinners and here are some photos

    It's amazing, Gynn. I only did the northern bit from Hanoi to Hue (overnight) - would love to do the whole 48 hours!

    Ca tai tuong chien. It's deep fried, then they stand it up in a plate rack and you attack it with chopsticks to take the flesh off. It's giant gourami - which might be known in your neck of the woods as golden redfish. It's amazing!

    Have you ever tried Elephant Ear fish - popular in the Mekong Delta?

    My local has it on their menu seasonally, and the French love it. Go to Malta and it's their national dish

    I've been making my wife traditional Vietnamese dinners and here are some photos

    Not that it matters, do i take it that your wife and her mother are Vietnamese? What a lovely warm people they are - and this food looks absolutely exquisite. Good job!

    So who whipped up the tornado off Sicily then? The Mafia??

    Death List 2024

    aka Paderewski - who was a Polish pianist (hence Gnr Graham's nickname to the battery) who fought for Poland's independence and became prime minister! My surname being Graham led to some nicknames at school during those times. RIP John

    Things that annoy you

    Finding an old-fashioned 3-piece Colonel's Meal was virtually impossible! And then the chump behind the counter picked out the most measly little bits of chicken he could find on the rack!

    Things that annoy you

    I went to KFC for the first time in a long time before the match on Friday - the one at Cross Point. Took me three attempts to figure out their ordering "kiosk", and the contactless reader is very poor! Could've starved to death!!

    Match Thread Were the Oxford goals Lucky or calamitous Defending ?

    We need an experienced CB with a commanding presence who can jump and head the ****ing ball out 30 yards like Oxford's did. McFadz did that perfectly as well as being a great leader. Binks stood and watched their player head it past him when the cross came over for their first. Needs to challenge.

    Parking

    Nah, that's the name of the tiger in Life of Pi. Andy "Tosspot" Street was banging on about a whole host of transport infrastructure projects across the region while he was in post, but many were never delivered, or delivered late and horrendously over-budget (maybe the cost of his hi-viz...

    Parking

    Update on this - still free but was almost full by about 6.40. The footpath through Longford Wildlife Reserve to the canal bridge is no longer passable - was something akin to a mangrove swamp for some reason. Down Longford Road to the Tesco bus station still easy option.

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    And that 1 on 1 between Simms and their FB which was a fair shoulder charge but the guy went down like the sack of shit he is and lino fell for it. Appalling decision. The only thing he did get right was the no offside decision for their second goal. I wonder if Dovin was sure it was offside and...

    All of this could be avoided by Binks challenging for the initial ball in from the free kick. He just stood there and watched the guy have a free header. Poor from a CB

    Just watched the Sky highlights back at their first goal - Binks not challenging for the header when the ball first came in was the primary mistake, but then Simms was waiting for it to bounce and missed his kick, when he should have taken one pace forward and got his head on it. Poor all round...

    Funny that some had him.down as bossing the .midfield. when my view was more like this. Too many passes went astray for him last night.

    I think this thread underlines the beauty of the game we love - unlike a sport like baseball or NFL, you cannot simply boil it all down to stats and say who was best - it's how we observe (maybe where we observe from) and create our subjective opinions. I'm sure we all sometimes feel that we...
