Pedants on a Friday...yep...most boring...

Very boring not having Quidsey here on a Friday.

PS: since working an allotment, I can no longer eat snails (used to enjoy them with garlic butter).

Hello jamiewyatt, Is there any chance that the DHFC website could be updated more quickly please? That would be very useful for the likes of me. I must admit that, sometimes, I do tend to go to the Ryman site after having visited DH's site and found nothing. Hope you don't mind the friendly request. Thanks. COME ON HAMLET

Definitely The Gowlett for me: was there again Sun. (celebrating United's massive win - just had to mention that, tee hee) and the pizzas were spot on - DI-VINE! SLA: pizzas OK, but MUCH prefer The Gowlett. I like the "family atmosphere" at SLA though. But then - it's all subjective...each to their own and all of that...

Happy Birthday dear Poubelle. Huge hug. xx

PS: really leaving now Lady Kat!

Running towards or away from...erm...a coil...?

Heh heh LLKVDPP...nope tis my jam pan for all to see! I've had it a few years, and yes, I do like to look after my things - hence why I panicked when it sustained 3 degree burns this time around. Am hoping that, by tomorrow, the inside will be as good as new (save for some scratch marks where I lost patience and used a paring knife to scrape...). PS: where are you now? I am just leaving LOL! *logs out*

Well done Help-Ma-Boab. Here's to raising even more next year. :)-D

Right! The moment some of you have been waiting for, LOL. Following further chiseling half an hour ago, this is how the pan now looks (it's pretty good considering the whole of the base was a very dense black). Big thumbs up for bio-powder-solution so far. Will it complete the job? Well, we shall see. However, before I place more of the solution into the pan, I thought I'd show you what has been achieved. Less than 5% to go, by my reckoning. Voila!

That's right Doc!>:D

In the meantime, we could all post silly comments... *ouch* *(receives slap on wrist from Admin.)*

I have yet to find any of these spokes...and I have tried, and tried and tried! But thanks for letting us know, Applespider: will give it one more go. BTW, sorry about your lack of response from TJ - I've had the opposite experience. Strange.

@ ianr: Judging by its weight and look, and the fact that previous attempts to clean by boiling vinegar/lemon juice have left no mark on said pan, I believe it is made of steel. As for webcam...sorry...I am too much of a technophobe. However, I may take a picture and get hubby to plonk it on here. @ maxxi: You are the epitome of unswerving patience and endurance. I think, due to the fresh batch of bio powder solution, I have tonight been able to chisel away at yet more of the black stuff. Must be down to the last 10% now: it's getting exciting! Apologies for doubting you earlier. @ Loz: An interesting point. But are you saying then, that when I wash my red-wine/curry/tomato-sauce etc. stained white linen tablecloth at 95 degrees, that it is not the enzymes that are responsible for the removal of the stain(s)?

You lot are BAAAAD... but you have me in stitches. Well, the update is that I have been far too busy having a fun time that I have neglected to work further on said jam pan. I have yet to attempt RosieH's trick of scouring whilst simmering, BUT - given that I would much rather go to the pub than scrub tonight - I have decided to start again a la maxxi. I did manage to chip away at more of the black encrustation with lemon zester (sturdier than the now redundant frosting spatula), the remainder of which is proving more than a trifle stubborn. I reckon I've around 17% to go. Maxxi are you SURE I am not wasting my time here? Seems to me that Ariel has done as much as it is going to do :-S. If I were to simmer the concoction as per Ladygooner as I did in the beginning, would that now "cook" the remainder of burntness making the problem worse - or not? I do appreciate your input, all of you. Thanks.

Can't blame him for going out on the piss then: injured and they won at Sittingbourne 1 - 0! May he recover quickly - I missed him on the pitch today. Thanks for that Doc.
