Pieces of eight, pieces of eight, make em walk the plank

I am glad there not on the broads.Marina I have taped it Ian

Well done Lewis, world champion again.Just like buses you wait along time then two come along at once. Ian

I have watched the Apprentice it is good TV, but most of them could not run a bath, still I think that's the point. Here's an idea the Apprentice does strictly Ian

Agree Jay should have been scored higher.I think it will be close this year, there only seems to be a few no hopes.The rest are very good.Keep dancing Strictly nuts Ian

The pulp however you can use the seed, give them a wash dry off season with salt pepper a little chilli powder and roast, add to soups or salads Ian

If you are carving your pumpkin,keep the brains to make a soup One large onion rough chopped,One carrot chopped.Place in a saucepan,adding the pumpkin,cover with water,add stock cube.Bring to the boil,add one large peeled potato chopped cook for about half an hour season with salt pepper add a little curry powder.Blend and Finnish with finely diced chillies,serve with crusty bread. Trick or treat for Halloween Ian

We will be on the boat next friday until sunday,Marinas friend is on board next saturday.We will meet her at Norwich,perhaps lunch at the New Inn Rockland. Ian

How did he do that, Spitfire lands at Bexleyheath. It was there taking part in the poppy appeal along with many others.I am doing my bit, Monday evening at Sainsbury. Ian

Hi Kris welcome to the forum and good luck with the pub, it's always good to see pubs reopened. I have to ask do members get a discount? Ian

Let's hope the pub is a success, it's never nice to see a closed pub Ian

Wrc don't supply blue

Sorry to go over old ground,but if our last visit is anything to .go by,they need to up there game.I have been a Chef for most of my life(Sixty years) now working in the trade for over forty years.They were more interested in taking/looking at there phones,then taking to us.There are problems running a pub at Berney,but engage with customers,offer a service,Good food so on.It can be done,but these people are not helping.For me the pub was always the start to the hols.I won't return unless they improve the pub.Perhaps they need to visit others well ran pubs on the broads,i.e. the New Inn Horning ,White Horse Chedgrave,white horse neatishead.These pubs are well run,offering a good service,food and beer.Most of all you feel welcome.I will and have many many times spent large sums of money if sevice,food and drink is good.Berne can again be a good pub,if they take the bull by the horns. Ian

Iain get yourself a life a board,think of the money you would save. Best wishes Ian

There was a piece on Look East this evening,about Ed Sheeran receiving a Doctorate in Ipswich.He was interviewed and came across as down to earth and a really nice chap.Considering that he is now one of the biggest stars in the world. For a time I was lucky to work at Abbey Road Studios .Most of the grounded stars were the largest names in the business. Ian

Hi Iain only just picked up this tread, so sorry to hear hope you feel.better soon.The train is a way.Is it possible to fly to Norwich? Ian

You are welcome but it will be a lot of pints in fact most of woodfordes Beer Ian

My main collections are beer mugs and tankards.I must have between 60 to 70.When we did the house up to sell 10 years ago, most were packed away, some are on show, when we move next hopefully to our house in Norfolk, hope to display them.They are in all sizes wood glass silver China etc.Strange but started when I was young. Ian

Iain the bloke in red would be a pumpkin Jose a treat. Ian

They said that old rubbish about 20 years ago.Now they want to build a garden bridge in London, nice for the tourists but we will have to pay Ian

We Moor at the Ys Norwich but not Friday or Saturday, as Alan said also good mooring just outside the centre and get the bus, Norwich also worth a visit Ian

I agree Doug, it's just another way of getting money out of us Ian

Hi Steve I agree with my friends stay up north but come south when you can you will have a good time.If you want to get a good overview of the broads you want to see all of it. Happy boating Ian

Welcome back from me also,you can hire canoes from Wroxham.They are based just over the bridge.Weather is often good at this time of year,may be a little cold back i am sure you will have fun. Best wishes Ian

Have watched it for all ten years it's great Saturday night entertainment, yes there are a fair number that are very good. Ian
