Things that you really love

Mentioned this elsewhere, but sake (the Japanese drink). A most underappreciated beverage, and one of the great things about going to Wagamama's. Cheap sake is still sake.

I've never ever tried it but would love to one day.

Quick, Shanks, make a hilarious alternate account! No one'll guess it's you!

I feel he may have taken your advice to heart.   

A little cat that runs up to me when I'm out for a walk & demands to be stroked.

Cats have a tendency to claw me when I try to stroke them.

This is a real friendly one. If I sit on the bench, it jumps up on my lap & refuses to move. And then it decides that it wants to get into my coat pocket.   

 

On another topic, being able to walk from where I live, when it's almost but not quite pitch black and raining, into a field where I can't see or indeed hear anyone else around me.

I suspect that I may not be suited for London. I tried going to the park this evening, and some guy started speaking VERY LOUDLY into his 'phone in what may have been Turkish.

That's great until you're too far into the country to turn back and something creepy like Jeff Wayne comes on your mp3 player. Then the lonely dark fields become too lonely and dark...

I want to try Sake but would need to have someone buy it for me as I'm not wasting my money on something I might not like.

Sake's nice - bitter, but nice. I prefer it served hot.

I understand your point, but we can interpret it very badly for you.

I would expect no less from you, Beemoh.

The idea of hot sake doesn't appeal to me, but since I love other warm alcoholic drinks (mulled wine/cider, warm Sailor Jerry's & apple juice), I should probably give it a shot at some point.

And if there's another thing I love drinking at Wagamama's, it's plum wine. So sweet! It's obviously massively diluted, but it's still good.

It is next to impossible to get good sake down here

But you're nearer where it comes from!

It didn't for me either, and I had already tried it cold before and wasn't particularly impressed but I had a cup of it warm at a sushi place and it was gorgeous.

I haven't tried sake. Is the stuff you can pick up from Tesco or whatnot any good? Or do you need to go somewhere a bit nicer?

I have never sampled Tesco's.  In fact, I've never bought sake from a shop.  Something to try!

I know which makes it a bit odd that no one can do it right here

People leaving their Heatrans in on my Volcarona. If Heatran isn't running any status moves, Ancient Power, or Roar, it is not ever beating Volcarona. People think that because it's immune to one of its attacks and 4 times resists the other two moves it commonly runs that Heatran is a good matchup, it actually isn't. For the Heatran anyway, I love it myself.

I can say assuredly that the warm sake I had at a sushi place was infinitely better than the cold stuff me and a mate picked up from a supermarket one time.
