Did you get a biscuit with it?

Funny you should say that Ade.
The wife and I often go for a walk at the weekend along the undercliff at Rottingdean.
The White Horses has just been refurbished with over 2 million spend and it's beautiful inside with a bar area and a stunning restaurant with fabulous sea views.
Anyway, we sit in the bar area with our Latte drinks but they don't provide a biscuit!
I had a laugh with the lady bar manager. I said that I notice you have a large jar on the bar filled with dog biscuits, but we don't get any with our coffee, have you a suggestion box, she laughed and said that she would mention it to management.
So far it's fell on deaf ears! Still no biscuits with coffee.

I don't really mind though, it's such a lovely place to relax and enjoy a coffee.

We went there for Sunday lunch with the in-laws a few weeks back - the belly pork is recommended!

Six hours it took her to get her hair done today. More of a wtf than an irritation.

How? Just how does that work?

My wife is a member there. They get a discount on that, but not enough to make it acceptable

The colour bit apparently, she's started explaining it and I've zoned out.

A pint of what. Blood

You'd be cheaper getting a taxi to the nearest Spoons.

Have you asked her what it cost?

Yep, but thankfully we're not one of those couples that watch eachothers pockets.

We’re the same.

Is that like when you tell the wife that it was a really slow round today, just so you can spend a bit more time in the bar afterwards?

More importantly did he say "it looks lovely dear"

The Vue by us is great. Tickets for £4.99, £6.49, £7.49 depending on where you sit. Meerkat 2 for 1 midweek. That's good value. Take your own drinks and sweets in, happy days

Where'd you park the wheelbarrow?

We haven't been to the cinema in well over 10 years. Too expensive, annoying people (probably not us). It'll be on tv sooner or later......

I dragged my wife along to see "The Lone Ranger" (Arnie Hammer/Johnny Depp) purely because I wanted to hear the "galloping" music in surround sound.
It was deafeningly memorable!
Some things TV can't capture.
Quite a funny film too.

I always tell people to get a taxi into Chepstow. Or the village pub in Mathern. There's a great Curry House walkable if you turn left out of the main gate. Cheeky so and so's charging that
