The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Deep fried Mars bars????? Tell me more!
They are a culinary delicacy, originating in the 1990s in Scottish fish and chip shops. They are held up as a symbol of the perceived poor diet of the Scots by others (mostly the English)

It is just as it sounds, the chilled chocolate bar is dipped in batter and deep-fried until golden. I must confess to never having eaten one, so I cannot comment on the end result.
 
I wish you all a serene Sunday. Here are a few more 'bons mots' to, hopefully, raise a smile. Once again, I am indebted to the fabulous Canadian comedian, Stewart Francis.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

My dad has a weird hobby; he collects empty bottles… which sounds so much better than β€œalcoholic.”

I manufactured clown shoes… no small feat.

I have a girlfriend! I’ve been going out with my girlfriend for… sex!

I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting!

I went to a Karaoke Bar last night that didn’t play any 70s music. At first I was afraid, oh I was petrified.
 
But it's good practice... 🀫

Have any of you tried glide typing? I'm trying to get used to it as the auto suggest results are A LOT better. It's a lot faster, but really takes some getting used to.

Basically you put your finger on the first letter of the word then slide it to successive letters without picking your finger up. You draw squiggles on the keyboard, and it interprets those as button pushes.

Thanks! I'll try it!

Sounds like what we call "fair food" here. I think it's a law that all foods served or sold at any fairs must be deep fried! πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
 
Good morning all. Hope you are all sleeping soundly. Early Sundays in rural France is when the world is at its quietest. Most businesses closed yesterday lunchtime and many will not re-open until Tuesday morning. Right now there is not a single sound to be heard or a light to be seen for 20 miles. Bliss!
It’s different here in the states where most things are open on Sundays. I’ve found in Europe most Sundays are really lovely days. I was in Munich and NOTHING is open on Sundays except for restaurants. Even in Berlin I found the Sundays exceedingly quiet and peaceful.

I really liked it. Enjoy your day of peace and quiet!
