Voltron

Today we had probably the most delicious and certainly the most expensive lunch of our lives at the two Michelin star restaurant at Bernard Magrez's La Grand Maison. Before we ordered anything, five or six plates containing at least seven amuse bouches arrived, along with suggested order of consumption. I got distracted and forgot to photograph them. We went for the six course lunch with wine pairings. Dessert was actually five different desserts each followed by two more treats to amuse our bouches. Extraordinary food paired with incredible wines. I also forgot to photograph the rump of veal. Dommage.

Pip Pip and RIP Rip

Happy birthday José!

So exciting that Cunty Camper the necro troll is back! Now posts once every 4-5 years to see if he can poke the bear and get a reaction. Best to ignore and just post a bit of an exchange with the great troll crusher of old, Matt the Younger. ~~snipped some witty repartée by us and cunty responses~~ Fuck you Matt, I miss you.

RIP João. ?

So sad that @swt61 doesn't even remember Mike even though he started the other lower case b-baker's thread. ? Hope you are having a good one anyway Mike! Cheers!

Go Birgir, go Birgir, it's your birthday, rape and pillage, like it's your birthday! Cheers!

Looking good, Jeff. You might consider a post cap or even a solar post cap light because the flat top piece may not last in rain and snow, etc.

Cheers Greg!

Paddy -- you're right.

Seriously never heard it? I think I would spell it Patty O'Furniture for more laughs

Is Ted also a porn actor and / or AMSR producer and / or serial killer?

Fuck the Blues. They are gonna lose. Poet. Don't know it.

Yeah buddy!

Thru must have needed to keep one wall to call it a renovation rather than a rebuild, even though it is a rebuild. It's great to have this detailed record of construction, but did your stalker neighbor take all of those photos? That would be very strange...

The Bruins never were in charge during that game. Fucking fuck the fucking Blues. ?

Hi Özgür. Been wondering about you.

RIP Leon.

RIP Bart and Bill.
