Horwich restaurants haven't changed for years. Maybe it's the hipster in me trying to get out but there's nothing new and interesting anymore. I'd pick Sokrates, Spice Valley, Lucianos (though its out of the way). We did go to Roccos the other week. Mains were good. Wouldn't bother with starters. Had the braised Ox cheek as a main.

Even I couldn't go for that and I love them. Think you got a glass.

Socrates in Koutouloufari, pork gyros 3 euros 50 Closer to home Istanbolton in town, lamb shwarma 👌 Turkish supermarket and grill on manchester Road called Venus foods is also good, do shwarma, kofta, chicken Pasha turkish grill westhoughton, again shwarma, chicken kofta etc.. Rice n three, mixed grill sandwich

1 - Fiddlers Lancashire Sauce - also tells you who cooked them on the back of the pack. Big shout out to Big Bob whose usually on the friers. Respect to Black pudding and mustard flavour too. 2 - Pipers Chorizo 3 - Lays Oregano. Eat a giant bag of these a day in Greece. Just bought a bag of these in the food place at TK maxx but not tried yet .. didn't pay this crazy price though https://www.harveynichols.com/brand/superbon-crisps/3108701-truffle-crisps-135g/p3842998/

Gonzo Sorry to hear this. I've never wrote on this topic, but had to when I saw your message. I went through the same experience with my Mum in Feb when she caught covid in hospital after just being diagnosed with cancer and returning home for a week before starting chemo. I then caught it off her as we were caring for her as did Dad and then my wife had it off me. I wasn't able to be there at the end because of my isolation, then had the worry about my Dad, its been the most difficult time of my life. I can only say I know exactly what you are going through, the coming days, weeks and months will be incredibly difficult. Be there for your Dad, and he will be there for you, get out for a walk, a coffee, the footie, speak to friends, family, folks on here and very slowly it will get better. There will be many wobbles along the way but then you have to quickly think of the good memories you have of her and they will help you through. All the best pal. Thinking of you.

Brilliant So lucky to have these players, owners, management and staff What a club

Holiday Village club opposite Casa Nostra bar this time Next year Villa Diktynna I'd have gone back to kef but the girls really enjoyed this one Got owt booked?

Yes Smithills I think they are looking for premises Not cheap but as good as Rudys and Co which is the benchmark for me Worth paying a bit more I reckon for these Fratellis is also good but down at Wayoh brewery in Blackrod

Sharted plenty of times, think that's acceptable Noticed on this holiday when I woke up in the morning I must have sharted A 50p sized brown stain on white bedding, did the forensics and it must have been my backside I spent 20 mins trying to rub it out before the cleaners caught it I blame a heady mix of grilled seafood, Gyros, gigantes, mythos and raki

Back from 2 weeks in Koutoulafari, went without hitch. Just booked another 2 weeks there next August and got San Sebastian in May where I'm going to eat and drink till the gout kicks in.

Tesoro pizza again this evening. OOF.

Not logged on for a while, extremely sad to read this. Thinking of Neil and his family at this time. Made a donation, hopeful that the number of donations and messages gives the family strength during such a difficult time X

Fred West's Hammers?

Will anyone ever beat Poland 2014?

Yep I agree, the DIPAs are superb, but that beer is their finest for me too

Shite, Adidas Powerphase, they were about 30 quid in the sales rack, which is where these will end up

2021 has been a terrible few months personally But yesterday was just amazing, what the players and staff and owners achieved and the pleasure they have given back to the fans is hard to put into words That was a huge tonic, I've been smiling ever since We turned up last night to celebrate and it was amazing to be part of that atmosphere You've gotta love Eoin Doyle https://streamable.com/yfoac4

Rivi have done a new DDH pale which I picked up today that's a cracker - "the guy was an interior decorator" (nice nod to the Sopranos)

I'm booked in rivvy tap for pizzas and beer next week, can't wait, Blood Machines on keg. Got a few from Wrights on Friday, Pomona Island Chainhouse again and tried a couple of Arbours, decent value IMO if you choose right, 568ml 👍 Also another Vault City delivery is in Might call in and see Raz at Leyland tomorrow

I've had about 6 of them in the last few weeks One of the best I've had for a while

Pasha Turkish grill, been a few times Chicken Shwarma (wish they had lamb) Grilled chicken and kofta All been good 👍

You stick to the turps

Had the first one last night Guava, Kiwi, Melon, Mango 10% but couldn't taste the booze Was absolutely brilliant
