long rubber pleasure
I've known Nicholas Parsons for a fairly long time and his geniune pleasures are in rubber tubes, metal clips
wife giving making-love
If anyone tells me I'm fat, I say, - That's because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit
ignorance would-be seconds
I was going to talk about Nicholas Parsons' ignorance, but 18 seconds would be a wholly insufficient time.
depressing animal years
The depressing thing about an Englishman's traditional love of animals is the dishonesty thereof ... Get a barbed hook into the upper lip of a salmon, drag him endlessly around the water until he loses his strength, pull him to the bank, hit him on the head with a stone, and you may well become fisherman of the year. Shoot.the salmon and you'll never be asked again.
wine writing bullshit
Wine buffs write and talk as though the food and wine will be in your mouth at the same time, that one is there to be poured over the other. This is bullshit. Gustatory enjoyment comes from food and wine and cigars of your liking. So far no one has said that a Monte Cristo is the only cigar to smoke after Armagnac, Romeo and Juliet after Calvados ... but the time may yet come.
funny witty giving-up
If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer.
hard new-zealand
I find it hard to say, because when I was there it seemed to be shut.
breakfast meals difficult
Breakfast is a notoriously difficult meal to serve with a flourish.
winning gambling mind
If you mind losing more than you enjoy winning, don't bet.
racing way racehorses
Owning a racehorse is probably the most expensive way of getting on to a racecourse for nothing.
guides shops publishing
I understand it is 13-8 against Egon Ronay publishing a Good Betting Shop Food Guide by 1997.
men thinking police
I think our police are excellent, probably because I have not done anything that has occasioned being beaten up by these good men.
cooking way method
To barbecue is a way of life rather than a desirable method of cooking.
delicacy fats concealed
Congealed fat is pretty much the same, irrespective of the delicacy around which it is concealed.
