The bar down the road re-opened just before Christmas and started doing Sunday roasts sometime in January, so today I thought I'd try them out. To be fair on them I had lost track of the time, so it was well past lunch time by the time I rocked up (about 3:30) but since they advertise that food is served from 12 to 7, it was well within "service time". God the food was awful. Most of the veg was dried out, as though they cooked it at 12, then left it under a heat lamp for three hours. The meat was dry. And somehow they had burned the cauliflower - I have no idea how this is even possible, let the pan boil dry I suppose. And it was not cheap.

Still, at least the Yorkshire pudding was good.

Umm, you can argue that the religious dogma is not true, and the "miracles" probably never happened. But the main story is historical fact. Calling it fiction is a bit like saying that the Mayflower never sailed and that America was never colonised by Europe!

Battlefield Earth is a "good old entertaining fictitious movie"???!!!!!! You must have seen a remake or something, because the version I saw was a pile of that stuff that comes out of the back end of cows!
