Thanks for the reminder - just switched over.

No alcohol?

I'm watching , I'm watching

What kind of house doesn't allow alcohol

Mike is a miserable sod

Not mine - you can come for dinner at mine!

See, the no alcohol wouldn't bother me cos its her house and thats what she wants.... similarly I wouldn't go to a veggies house and expect them to have cooked meat for me

Mind you, the clothes thing was a bit much i thought

I started a thread in the lounge but as I'm on my own over there I'll join you lot


an alcohol free meal doesn't seem to be going down too well does it

The Hell's Kitchen thread reunited are cooking for the forum tonight!!

We allow booze!!

I would - I'd be a nightmare guest! No, seriously, I'm completely anti-smoking and my guests all offer to go outside for a fag, but I always tell them it's ok to smoke in the house and give them an ashtray. Most still go outside anyway and I'm glad, but I think as host you try to cater for your guests.

I knit mung beans though, seems a shame to waste them in a soup! She could have had a new pair of sandals!

Oooh and you are in Scotland and everything

Crack open the wine

You better be quick - it's already open. Now.. when I say 'dinner at mine' - a packet of cheese and onion counts so long as I've wine eh?

I don't like any of them tonight.

Aye that'll do the job

I missed the clothes thing - what are they all about?

Bibs?

The meal looks great though!

you are queen of the mung bean though

kaffy, I also chuck my guests outside to smoke... I'm teh mean

I only have one

Funnily enough though... one thing that really annoys me when I go to other people's houses is being asked/told to take your shoes off as soon as you step through the door. Just seems so unfriendly

I don't think I have ever asked anyone to remove their shoes but everyone that visits automatically does it. I must have a well clean house me

Oh dear I don't think Farida will win this not with those marks

Why did she make everyone wear saris and she is sitting with a denim jacket on now?

I think there's a fine line between catering for guests and wanting to show off your thing. I can't imagine not serving alcohol just because I don't drink it, equally, I don't think it's fair to make ppl eat with their fingers if they're uncomfortable with it, etc, etc.

I think most people will take their shoes off anyway out of politeness, I generally do in folk's houses... its just being asked straightaway that annoys me Makes me want to go and trample mud across cream carpets

I posted a reply to you Arwen, but its disappeared into the ether

oh, there it is

I think the problem is a lot of observant muslims won't allow alcohol in their houses under any circumstances and some won't even go into a house where alocohol might be. Taking off your shoes in their houses is also expected.

I guess if you want to be friends with people who observe these rules you just accept it.

Gawd Lee is such an arse!

Hi All I have been looking for this thread

Pengy, my aunt asks me to take my shoes off cos she is house proud

I wouldn't mind if it was a cultural thing

Just what I said!

I appear to be invisible.

Sorry I just realised I am bringing complete shallow-ness (is that a word) to this thread
