Fuck booze there are more important issues at hand raised in that other thread.
We all know:
Breakfast, dinner, tea
Is the right way right?

Da fuck? What happened to lunch?
There's another way?
I know there is, I just refuse to acknowledge it.
On a more bizarre note, my mate got thrown out of our Student's Union the other night for trying to punch Dom from Dick n Dom.
Might've been the strangest thing I've ever witnessed.

What is this? I mean I could've expected a dinner/tea/supper thing going on, but this just ain't right.

Watching "Hard Candy" for the first time on BBC2.
Edit: Oh. Well atleast it wasn't graphic.

Breakfast, dinner, tea is what I had
Breakfast, lunch, supper is what my Grandad had (but then, he was a Northerner)
Breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner is for grown up posh people
Breakfast, lunch, tea, supper is for the children of posh people
You sound a bit too confident on that.
Brunch?? Isn't that just a second fry-up for fatties?

Loads of prices gone up at Tesco's in the last week. It seems they decided to slap 10p on loads of random things.
If it wasn't for the half decent clubcard, I'd shop somewhere else.

I'm Essex scum and have:
Breakfast, Brunch/Elevensies, Lunch, Dinner 1, Dinner 2, Supper 1, Supper 2 with snacks inbetween. If I am doing something that overlaps with any of those meals, I'll miss the meal.
Lost a 1/4 of a stone last week.

I'd die a painful death with only those three. If I eat less than 4000 (ish) calories a day I lose weight like a swine. My metabolism is insane.
Did some long distance running the other day. People were amazed that I could out run them for longer and at a quicker pace. They said its not natural given how much I eat.

I would agree with you, but so far you're the only person, other than me, I've seen who said breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Rangers fans are being classy.
Rangers owe Dunfermline a bit of money and because Rangers owners fucked up and didn't give Dunfermline the money, Rangers fans are clubbing together and supporting Dunfermline for a day to raise cash for the club.

Maybe they can all club together and make an advert for the HMRC to make up for that too.
Seriously, the team spirit they are showing while the club's in trouble is amazing.

Wow, I wish I had the energy to do this. Would help my work-out plan a lot.
Do you make these meals yourself?

I cook as many of them as possible. The mid-day (ish) meals are lighter than the others and consist of sandwiches or a baguette. If you are planning to work out, you could make your next days lunch/brunch while your dinners/suppers are cooking or being prepared.
Being efficient with ingredients is a plus. I might have chicken breast fillets with something for dinner. I'd also stick a few extra in and cut/slice them up for salads/pasta lunches the next day. Pork is another great one for that.
I watch a lot of cookery tv shows and I've noticed that the majority of them are targeted at middle class people with large kitchens and the time to browse specialist markets.
When was the last time there was a genuine cookery show targeted at the 'meal-maker' in a family household with average-to low income? It would be a great way of improving the quality of the food that children eat, a great way to get parents and children interested in 'cooking together' and a great way of explaining basic cookery skills (folding, blind baking, sealing etc) to those who can't afford cookery classes or who didn't take it as an option in school.
Stick it on in the afternoon-to-evening slot on BBC One or something and I reckon it would do really well. Its all very well Nigel Slater telling us to use 'left-over ingredients' but hardly anyone will have a left over stash of ginger, brown sugar, a herb garden, double cream etc. It just seems horribly impractical.

YES. Now, I love middle class food porn (oh More4, you beautiful animal), but not much of it is practical. A few of the 'made easy' style series are quite good, but others crap.
For me, the problem isn't just price but scale - meal for four? Great, but you've not done something I can half. And lunches.
Let's have a food club. Here's a nice simple risotto that I do a lot.

I eat about 8 times a day!
Breakfast, Elevenses, Afternoon Tea, Supper is the only way to go.
What about second breakfast?
Wannabe lunch?
Hey man don't hate on us southerners.
Food you eat around 11am? Like between Breakfast and Lunch? Therefore I'd say it's the same as Brunch.
like biscuits or a pastry and a cup of tea at 11am, sort of formalised snacking. it's a nice natural break from morning work/chores etc too

We like to eat. Depending on whether City folk have lunch time meetings, they sometimes eat elevensies. Where I'm from its elevensies, but Brunch is interchangeable. My version of elevensies is essentially an early lunch.
Next you'll be telling me that you don't sit down at the end of a day in front of a crackling log fire, drinking a glass of red wine or a tumbler of fine whiskey.

It's what you eat when you suddenly realise that lunch isn't until one o'clock.
So for all of you just waking up with a hangover, I have a hangover cure for you right here.
I wouldn't say it's a south-north divide, but a south east-north west rivalry. South west is fine. I love Cornwall, cider and the eden project.
and stuff like this pisses me off:
Transport Spending per head, per year, by region:
North East England: £5
South West England: £19
Eastern England: £43
North West England: £134
Yorkshire and Humber: £201
West Midlands: £269
East Midlands: £311
South East England: £792
London: £2731
So that London gets more than 20x as much infrastructure spending than the North West and then wonders why unemployment/prospects are so low up here (whilst throwing around "It's grim up north" every 5 minutes) does my fucking nut.
