There's no excuse for citric acid either (tsk tsk) lemons are a necessary kitchen ingredient. PS WTF is that all about... individually.... peeling ... chick.... peas...?....! I demand a taste test of this recipe. PM both varieties of houmous asap. Thank you.

This sounds absolutely fab, eagerly waiting next instalment. Hope its been a success.

I love radio 4. (Currently mark twain's autobiography, the news quiz, food programme, excess baggage, archers, previously sorry I haven't a clue with humphrey littleton) Sometimes Classic (without the annoying ads would be even better) Old comedies on radio 7 (dad's army, steptoe) Absolute 80s (without the really irritating bits between the cheesy music, can of quattro anyone? Jeez)

Made in Dagenham. Equality. Ford. Dagenham (tu)

Seen ET. Lived in a house overlooking the sea. Been to New Zealand. Set up my own business.

The double rainbow yesterday was lovely :D

Back in the good old days when I shared a house with friends, our cat thoughtfully decided to leave a 'present' on the pillow of the only person in the house guaranteed to be absolutely terrified of this. *discussing*

aquarius moon - doesn't matter if not everybody listens, at least you are trying. Thats a lovely reason to feel that you have been put on this planet btw (tu) I too feel sickened to read/hear about animal abuse; it was disturbing to hear about that poor dog in your post. This is my personal opinion, I don't think being a vegetarian is a sore point on this forum, I think its more a case of anything goes in the lounge. So expect people to post in all manner of ways from empathising up to being deliberately combatative, or silly, straying from topic and so on. Doesn't mean that invalidates the original intention of your post. k xx

thanks for the cycling mittens advice everyone, very helpful to know some good brands from other cyclists. (tu) PS. I never get cold toes so I recommend bridgedale socks (although I am sure these aren't designed specifically with cyclists in mind, more for hill-walking)

Fekkin annoyed. Thats me. Ah, now I said it. Feels a bit better B)

can anyone on here recommend the best brand/type of gloves for cycling in winter? thanks my hands are freezing early in the morning in my little endura fingerless mitts - its especially bad when waiting at traffic lights as i just want to turn around and cycle home again. brrrrrrrrrrrr.

friends who turn into bridezillas ... only a whole fucking year before the fucking wedding takes place

But if you want to take a rusty old axe to Spain in your hand luggage, that's absolutely fine (as apparently happened at Luton last week - the lady forgot to check it into hold luggage) I was held back once at an airport over some already opened perfume. The security guys were spraying it everywhere and I thought they spent rather longer 'checking' it than was absolutely necessary.

Fuschia Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > yes I forgot the lounge is full of reactionaries! gosh Fuschia, don't let that put you off posting, I firmly believe the place is what we make it B) this posting about the lounge says a lot really ... I liked the clip you posted. My favourite bit = Liberal Democrats and 'Delivering for Britain'. Priceless.

Love Hallowe'en I saw a banana going for a bike ride and Count Dracula having dinner with Mister Bump. *carved pumpkin smiley*

I tried this once and found it surprisingly easier than when I attempted to give up coffee for a month ... Good luck Mick Mac :)-D (oops, sorry)

What a cr@p day Woof! Hope you are all okay now, be careful out there!
