Poms' Diana Ross-Style Demands

[Furball]

They do at home ffs. Look, I've been to England, and aside from Clos Maggiore in Covent Garden, The Fat Duck and that funky place where Zaremba kindly shouted Fertang and me lunch, it's a wasteland. Corrin's idea of a feed in Liverpool was a Chinese buffet chew 'n spew ffs.

I don't think zinger pies and parmis are really the best food for sportsmen to eat.

 

[Burgey]

Is he still on your $20 bill?

Been replaced by Kath and Kim

My sources who used to work with Michael Edgeley International have confirmed this is the most ridiculous set of demands since Whitney Houston's second Australian concert tour in the 1990s.

 

[theegyptian]

Typical divas.

Stunned at being in a country where fresh meat doesn't cause neurological disorders and a fruit salad isn't a red apple and a piece of canned pineapple, the Poms have taken to demanding all sorts of weird dietary combinations on tour.

What a pack of ****s, seriously. Stay where you're put, when you're put there. Eat what you're given, when you're given it. And if you don't like it you can shove it in your arse.

No wonder Australia are so terrible at sport these days if this is the attitude of the typical Australian. World has moved on- Australia clearly hasn't

Just another story about Australia being preoccupied with the English. Maybe Australia and their fans should concentrate a bit more on what is within their own control rather than complaining about the ball not bouncing in india or whatever their latest complaint.

Australian board can't even be bothered to tell their a team players that they've been selected Australia A v England XI, Tour match, Hobart : Australia A team informed via Twitter | Cricket News | England in Australia - The Ashes | ESPN Cricinfo. Presumably too busy passing judgement on the English.

Tis was all he could afford tbf

Pretty sure it was Burgey's choice, that place ain't cheap.

It's good though tbf

Speaking of the great man, there's a four part documentary on him starting next Tuesday at 8pm on ABC

Wasn't Buffet Star was it? **** might have been trying to kill you.

 

[Burgey]

Nah, this was in what passes for the big shopping centre there, Liverpool One.

Interestingly, the Liverpool fan store there is called Liverpool One.

When Everton opened theirs not long afterwards, they did a wonderful thing.







Called it Everton Two.

Guess what......so have I.

And It is my considered opinion (having spent approx half my life in each country) that in Australia, despite having such magnificent local produce...........90% of the population, 90% of the time eats absolute filth.

But seriously, is this what our banter has come down to.........our cuisine is better than your cuisine??

 

[fredfertang]

I wonder what they'd make of the food at Farley Hill CC - the result there always depends on the toss and fielding first because their teas are so remarkable in both quality and quantity that bowling fast or fielding with enthusiasm afterwards is just impossible - they even had wine ffs

 

[Daemon]

Seems like a case of England's nutritionist wanting to prove that he's worth his salary. They should do this when they tour the sub continent and aren't staying in a five star, would love to see the reaction of the cooks.

 

[Adders]

I guess I should go read the article.

It's interesting you say that. I genuinely do find a lot of the foods in England very heavy and starchy.

Mind you the curries are fantastic.

 

[GIMH]

Red Hot Buffet was the restaurant btw and Burgey Liverpool One is a decent shopping centre

 

[Burgey]

It is. I managed to secure the Exclusive HMV One Direction Pack there for Burgetta, as you know.
