They taste great!

All their dough comes premixed and they use cornmeal when rolling them out. I watched them and they used separate cutters for the GF bases and put them on a different baking tray lined with fresh greaseproof paper.

Domino's on Grove Vale now stock gluten-free pizzas!

Hilarious. I lost another rib.

Perhaps you're right! It's on the increase compare to say 50 years ago though.

AA was formed in 1935 and the term "alcoholism" was coined in 1849. Although the problem certainly is on the increase, the condition has been around for much much longer than that.

Dyslexia was identified in 1881 and given its current name in 1887. Again - the condition probably existed long before that.

I'm afraid "gluten intolerance" or coeliac condition has been around slightly longer than that. It's facile to suggest that something didn't exist just because it wasn't a well-known condition then or that diagnostic techniques have improved as medical science has advanced.

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.

A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"

The assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"

The assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

The guy says, "Well then, just because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"

The assistant replied, "Because you're in Halfords."

Don't know about the disappearing star, but I think it wasn't likely to be a supernova. They're quite rare and pretty spectacular:

The shooting stars are probably the Perseids:

In my experience, it was in the outsourcing process.

"Ask" used as a noun.

"Task" and "exit" used as verbs.

"Utilise" and "incentivise", though they're usually spelled with a "z" rather than an "s".

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Is 1001001 valid?

I'm going to change my username to "Pedant".

MP - I wouldn't have pointed this out but for the fact that you put an acute accent on the e in "pr?cis", but it's "practising" in this context, not "practicing". Think of it like the difference between "advise" and "advice".

Johann Hari is a decent journalist-in-training. He's just a bit too young and I feel has been unleashed in his perceived position of authority a little too early.

Capitalisation makes the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse" and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

Anyway, to bring things back on-topic, most of those already mentioned, plus:

Meh.

Webinar.

My bad.

Laters.

Raise the bar.

Push the envelope.

Deep dive.

Or make three mistakes in a sentence criticising someone else's errors?

Somebody just called me pretentious.

I nearly choked on my organic lapsang souchong.

And this, where Miller Pattinson gets a mention...

Oh you've rumbled me! 5 mins walk from ED station but in SE15. I expect I'll get people telling me to go and post somewhere else now!

???? - he still is!

Cash Converters in ED??! Seriously though - thanks for the suggestion.

Some watches and cash went missing from our house last night (bizarrely not some other things that would normally be considered worth nicking). I know it's a long shot, but if anyone locally is offered a Dunhill, Baume & Mercier, Yves St. Laurent or Skagen watch can they please call me (07990 566135) with any info about the person selling them? I'd say buy them there and then, but I don't know what they might be offered for! The Dunhill and Baume & Mercier ones (pix attached) are of particular sentimental value and they're no longer available to buy.
