Chums will probably familiar with the Burns rules for Buffet Eating Contests which says "number of plates wins", even when Andu has clearly eaten more food.
Today we took Burns to the Pagoda O Fun.
After 3 plates we were doing OK, but Burns was starting to flag so much so that I was halfway through plate 4 (Dessert plate 1) when I got up for plate 5. He was looking slightly distressed when I brought my plate back but still was insisting that his pacing was key and, somewhat dejectedly, got up for plate 5.
Because the secret of comedy is timing I waited till he was back and seated before going up for plate 6 (Dessert plate 3). I will fully admit that it was a plate of fruit, but it was still plate 6.
And I had more on my earlier plates
And I'd have gone back for more if Liz hadn't been giving me foul looks and muttering about setting Jonathan a bad example.
I am home safely. Burns was last heard of locked in the Loo at Swindon station.
PHIL WINS!

Because his train was late... he made it! I foresee he will thus claim this as a win. Somehow.
My last update had him feeling grey and ordering Star Trek novels. And then running through the Underground like Chekov on an aircraft carrier.

I do feel a bit delicate on train #3 of the day.
I won Buffet War though as Phil did not follow the rules properly.

You did not fully cover your last plate with food and so your last move was illegal and you therefore forfeit the game.

Several of your earlier plates were somewhat sparsely covered.
I won, and would have eaten more if I didn't have to set a good example

They were fully covered. Don't blame me if you can't follow the rules of Buffet Wars!

Rules you make up as you go along. And didn't keep to for your earlier plates.
I saw the look of dispair on your face as I got up for plate 6

Let us put aside these mere trivial matters and turn or attention to the one food matter that really counts.... cake? For Andy?

He is bluffing. If he is wise he won't be eating anything after the buffet-station toilet adventure.

AMAZING Roast Pork Sunday Lunch cooked by Liz Ayres today. The best crackling I have EVER had! Ten mins previous she'd been proclaiming the crackling a disaster, but then she had the bright idea of sticking it under the grill!

Ralph is trying various non-alcoholic beers. He has yet to settle on one that doesn't just taste of gas. The quest continues.

Alcohol would interfere with a thing about a thing healthwise currently so I can only recall 2 alcoholic drinks this year. I have missed having a beer so thought I would try the non-falling down varieties.
