Brilliant a hot tub moment! With no swim wear!

I need to lose weight, I am a bit overweight, I like being a bit generous - I like being womanly, but not as much as I am. I have a thyroid problem and my medication is still being sorted out, so weight loss has been very, very difficult for a few years; however, iit should get easier soon. I tend to cut out all crap and exercise a bit extra - works well for me, n normal circumstances.

Luckily, I was careful over Christmas and didn't put any weight on.

Hi Imr, you best bet would be to check out their web site, and then contact them for any information you can't get from the net.

Catalin, yeah, I do remember the snake one: classic, brilliant hilarious. I think Wal's gerbil migh have done something similar if it hadn't hit the blender.

Well, very sorry Bug, but outside help? always a no no on CDWM; it has to be all your own work, so you're onto a loser there mate. I also doubt you'd manage that menu all by yourself, so I'll ust sit back and enjoy the evening (when I get over my extreme dislike of the idea of servants) and see how many points you can pick up for personality.

Also: who else would see us out? A servant?

Lovely food, I will enjoy it.

Ok, I am now in the taxi home with my score cards. After pulling Sneaks out of her soup, and surviving the evil eye she kept giving me I am left wondering what the mescalin soup I just ate was (is that mescalin as in the mexican halucigenic cactus? Or soemthing more innocent? Anyhow, I think my taxi drive looks very much like a cyberman and there are palm trees growing in the middle of the road. Oh blimey, is that a score card I see before me? Here goes, I'm ging to give Wally a 7: the menu was confusing and the cooking waasn't great, I don't thnk Wal really knows his onions, plus, I found a long curly brown hair in my dessert; however, the company was fab - aside from Sneaks trying stir it up and sabotage again. OMG there are cybermen everywhere...

Ding Dong, Hi Wally, how lovely to see you again, can't wait for the food, sounds amazing, especially the peas! What a swanky area you live in. Here I brought you some flowers and a bottle of expensive rose wine.

Pre-dinner comments to camera: How on earth do you julienne a pea? Hilarious. Also, the choccies as appetisers are making me feel a bit nauseous already.  Also, since when is tofu sea food?

I predict this person will be a slightly confused, middle income internet surfer. Either that or bionically skilled with a vegetable knife and with the patience and precision of an eye surgeon.  


It's a shame the anonymity is lost at this early stage - Wally will read my catty comments, which, of course, he wouldn't on the real show.

Ejc/Dave, I got a 10/10 from Bug too!!! So that's a toatl of 31.

I'm sure Cobweb was due to trun up for this, but alas.

FURTHER EDIT!

In fact, I got an 8 from Ev too, so that's a total of 39 for Eska.

Yes, Wally, you can borrow my Paul McKenna book. Hey, those spuds were Jersey Royals! Don't know what you're on about, there was enough for everyone and I did say!
Hey, don't all leave yet, what about dessert? I think Sneaks has got serious tactics, no way did I use takeaway food or bought ice cream...

Heyyyy! How lovely to see you all here, have a top up and another canope - Wally, you've made my house sound fab! Apart from the music and dodgy drinks collection... Is that Dave Lamb, or is it ejc, who can tell the difference? They practically the same person!

Ev, there is plenty of daphounoise potatoes to go around, just thought they may clash with the stroganoff.

Sneaks, no, I made my own ice cream, honestly.

OOOhhh I really am enjoying this 1960s lounge music, who's that singing? Anyhow, I'll be putting the final touches to the main course while you continue nosing around my farm house - see you soon.

Not sure if you're staying Wally, but I brought some canapes: chicken liver pate on tiny pieces of toast, with melted brie and half an olive on toast for the veggies. There's also some champagne, here have some in a lovely elegant flute.

Hi Wally, I just put something of an explanation in the original post, hope it helps. But come in! Lovely to see you, thanks for the wine. Have a seat in the living room and I'll just go and get the canapes.

Hi everyone, I think it would be a laugh to do Come Dine With Me on here, I'll dothe first night on this thread and you can be my guests, if you like.

In true CDWM fashion, ere is the menu ahead of the evening:

Starter - Garlic, chilli and five spice prawns with a light mixed leaf green salad to the side. Vegetarian option: a quorn version of the same.

Main - Beef Borgingon with douphanoise potatoes and green beans. Vegetarian option: mushroom stroganoff with boiled new potatoes and green beans.

Dessert - Nectarines poached in syrup made from sugar and Pineau (a sweet French fortified wine), still warm with home made vanilla ice cream.

Right, so I live in a beautiful farm house in the countryside and your drive to my place will be a picturesque joy (there is no pesky snow in fantasy come dine with me land) you approach my door as I await your arrival, cool, calm and collected.

For all those who don't watch CDWM: It's a tv show/cmpetition in which a group of people each take turns to host a dinner party on each night of a given week in their homes, the guests mark their hosts out of ten, and this the winner is chosen. Essential elements of this process are: the guests must nose around the hosts home before dinner, unovering telling and embarrassing items, there must be some drama between the contestants, very possible some drama during the ooking/hosting process, and plenty of hilarious, perceptive mickey taking by Dave, the commentator.

HA, HA hilarious Wally: nice picture of your hair too! See you ain't made it to the hairdresser's yet...
