rule 1 is bollocks for a start

What gravy are you putting with your three different meats then Egg? Gammon doesn't have gravy at all, and pork and beef gravy taste very different. If they dont then you are doing gravy wrong. Beef gravy doesn't go with pork and pork gravy doesn't go with beef. 

On the back of the last post in the twitter thread where a woman has put pasta and gravy together, which is an abomination by the way, what are the other food rules that you would never break?

We have quite a few in our house and I will tell you a story to illustrate several at once. 

Last year when we were having a new kitchen we went for a carvery one Sunday. We invited my half brother, let's call him Dave, because that's his name. It was your traditional carvery style, choice of beef, pork, turkey, and gammon plus an assortment of veg. Dave chooses to gave 3 of the meats, beef, turkey, and gammon. The veg he had was mashed potato, roast potato, carrots, cauliflower cheese, plus a yorkshire pudding. Topped off with beef gravy. 

The other three of us watched this in a stunned horror, because for us he had broken several food rules. 

1. You dont have those 3 meats together, in fact more than one meat is unacceptable. 

2. You dont have mashed potato with gammon

3. You dont have cauliflower cheese with beef or turkey. 

4. You dont have cauliflower cheese with gravy. 

5. The only roast you have Yorkshire pudding with is beef. 

6. You dont have gravy with gammon. 

We dont invite Dave to the carvery with us any more. 

I am prepared to die on all of those hills. So do you have food rules you will not break?

Is there a highlights show anywhere, something akin to MOTD that I can catch up on the first week? I'm curious as to whether it's worth a look for week 2. 

There is a Week 1 highlights on YouTube. There are highlights of all the games and a "Best plays of the week" package as well. 

The line of that roundtable from Big John about Wilder. "He's never fought any of the greats, he's never fought Steve Cunningham"

Pat used to be a ref you know. He doesn’t like to mention it though

He hasn't even mentioned that time he reffed in Vietnam. 

Chris Jericho easily. No one has come close to him this year. 

Fun drinking game if you are watching the Brook undercard. In the first fight take a shot of drink every time Matt Macklin says Martin J Ward, not any variation just Martin J Ward. 

I think that Dubois has much faster hands and that Joyce will plod his way forward and get taken out. 

How are there only 4 comments on that. 

That Labi Siffre album is very good. Give the whole thing a listen. His voice is amazing.

Is your local Wetherspoons open 24 hours a day?

No, it is 23 hours and 32 minutes per day. 

Big thanks to @Glenryck Pilchards for putting this together. An improvement for me on my usual dross. Looking forward to next year already. 

There is a lot of rejoicing now that oxygen thief Katie Hopkins has been suspended from Twitter. This may be the best.

Never mind the lobster, can I draw your attention to the BBQ Jackfruit Relish. 

Delete from this thread immediately, clearly not a chippy. 

Sorry to double post but this us wonderful

Yeah, it's not like I'm being bombarded with loads of different posts or anything...

The only reason anyone gets bombarded with posts on here is when what they are posting is clearly wrong. I'd say that 99.99% of post bombardments are caused by this.

Go back and read the initial things I posted

David has, and you are not answering him.

I don't see a way for Joshua to beat either of them. He's nowhere near skilled enough to avoid Wilder's big shot for more than four or five rounds. And Fury dances rings around him for the duration, potentially even stopping him late.

For me, the Fury fight is the one to make, although not in Saudi fucking Arabia. Get two British heavyweights and get it sorted for London or Cardiff.

London or Cardiff makes sense from a fans point of view, but the Saudi regime is probably paying more than 90 thousand at Wembley and Hearn and Warren care more about that.

I'm not buying a PPV from Saudi but there are plenty of people who will so they wont even lose out in that regard. Does anyone know the PPV numbers for Joshua v Ruiz II? Just in case I'm talking cobblers (Fair chance let's be honest)

It's the linguistine flavoured crisps from M&S isn't it. 

They aren't obscure, everyone is talking about the linguistine crisps. 

That is tremendous. Going to laugh at that every single time. 

Loved watching him as a fighter. Didn't he get binned off Sky as a pundit for saying that the Audley v Haye fight was shit? As a promoter it always looks like it is about him rather than the fighter. Also looks dodgy as fuck. 

As this story contains a cardboard cutout of Ainsley Harriet it is prime UKFF fodder. 

If you dont mention Mein Kampf then you get to stay.
