I do not think you will be disappointed.I hope this food and drink thread is as much about Alan Partridge, TV recommendations, Frauen-support and forearm fantasies as it's always been.

Why did it take me so long to come back here? This is the best line ever (and applicable to too many men-folk I know).TOTALLY agree re Aiden. What a bloomin wet blanket. You just know he's reading Walden in his spare time and thinking about getting white dreads.
I'm not! You lot are hilarious.I do not think you will be disappointed.
The mental health benefits are largely why I'm looking forward to it so much! I find woodlands very soothing. The sea too, I love a coastal trip any time of the year. Mr Nottonight is not usually impressed when I drag him to watch the sea in January thoughWhy did it take me so long to come back here?

Wish I could join @Nottonightbabe on her ancient forest walk. Not to drag down this hilarious thread, but for anyone struggling with mental health (and that's surely everyone in Covid-times), getting out in nature is so helpful in managing anxiety and feelings of doom. And at the risk of giving away that I'm not really a hard-boiled cop, but a hippy hausfrau, being wtih trees is soothing to the soul.
I live quite near a gorgeous river and will take a little walk down there later, to look at ducks and weeping willows and calm my anxiety (which is through the roof since school started). I might find time to ponder Keir's BDE on the way.
Babe, same.The mental health benefits are largely why I'm looking forward to it so much! I find woodlands very soothing. The sea too, I love a coastal trip any time of the year. Mr Nottonight is not usually impressed when I drag him to watch the sea in January though
It's a yes from me. A large part of his appeal for me is the superhero socialism and human rights defence so the McLibel era is HOT. I love his passion.@GrunkaLunka, as a fellow member of the Keir fan club, what are your thoughts on him as a younger man? It's a no from me! I want that dashing silver fox look or nowt.

I got informed last week that we were all meant to be returning to the office this week. Ended up sending a strong e-mail to HR informing them that despite trying to convince us the office is this safe Corona-repulsing environment, that until the daily case numbers go down and I feel safe enough to travel on public transport, I shall not be returning.Right?! They’re only pushing schools so much so parents can return to work and buy Pret. How the duck can they justify offices being open with these daily test results? And pubs are staying open?!
Yes it is a twelve year old’s wet dreamJust popping in to add Due South to the list. I believe this is the Mountie you are looking for:

That’s so brilliant about your boss, what a dude he is to give you support and reassurance - he sounds like he has BDE.Slightly behind but I totally agree with everyone re nature/sea - when at the MIL's over the past 2 weeks we walked miles along the coast one day, came away with an overall feeling of calmness that I hadn't had in so long - just lovely!
Comforting TV - I'd agree with @Pocahontas that Poldark is a great go-to, that Cornish scenery I am a big fan of Coupling too for easy watching -though they do like using the word 'bottom' a LOT - but pure 90s nostalgia - the fashion! The hair!
Cheese - give me ALL OF IT.
Finally - my meeting with the 'big boss' went well - no danger of losing any pay, and he said that if I get any more bullsh*t come straight to him and if necessary once my handover docs are complete and signed off (which I am doing today and tomorrow) he will limit my contact with my manager as much as possible so I leave on a happy note. He will also do my reference for me. Yay!
I'd forgotten all about this show, he was one of my first ever crushes as a young girlYes it is a twelve year old’s wet dream
Oh no, he’s far better chunkier and grey. Funnily this pic makes him look like one of the interchangeable hole guys that pop up in early seasons of SATC, like the weird gross phone sex solicitor Miranda had a fling with?@GrunkaLunka, as a fellow member of the Keir fan club, what are your thoughts on him as a younger man?

This makes me think of a young Andrew Lincoln...sorry! Loved Teachers - keep meaning to see if it’s available anywhere to re-watch.@GrunkaLunka, as a fellow member of the Keir fan club, what are your thoughts on him as a younger man? It's a no from me! I want that dashing silver fox look or nowt.
