More than 2 pages a mistake IMO. Keep it pared down, focused and geared to the job in question. Avoid bland, generic phrases and try to include something that will make you stand out and gain attention - just don't overdo it.pared

I was at a dinner party a while back where some of the pepes started talking about fonts. Good fonts...... rotten fonts ...... favourite fonts.....and on and on and on for nearly 3/4 hour Christ. http://emotloader.hu/emoticons/sad/triste_22%20-%20emotloader.hu.gif

I would rather be listening to a London centric station to be honest. I tend to hop between LBC (love a bit of Ken and David Mellor, Nick Abbott, O'Brien's mystery hour and the travel programme), BBC London and R4. Hardly ever listen to music stations any more. I hate being tied to local ststions when out of London though. Grim.

Sod all this - if he is a crook he should go to prison. End of.

Walsh is consistently wooden in his delivery. I have tried to watch it a few times but have had to switch it off in embarrassment for the actors :(

Nice copy cat idea, but sadly APPALLINGLY badly scripted and acted :(

Recent trips highly recommended are: 1) Dubrovnik - beautiful, walled medieval city, with the walls dropping straight down to beautiful blue sea. Half hour car journey to Montenegro which is beautiful too, especially if you drive up into the hills. 2) Cadiz - the old, medieval part at the end of the peninsula. Lovely people, great bars, tapaz and sherries. Hardly any brits (hurrah!) as you can't fly there direct, but only an hour and a half by bus from Seville (also rather lovely).

Chuck a glass of water over it, it won't be back.

I am no fan of tabloids, but I agree that there is an interesting conundrum there - provocatively written, but that is the way of tabloids.

Coming from a culture where > most food as hot spice or peppers is not really a > good thing most people I know suffer from high > blood pressure which is one of the causes. Really? Not sure I concur. Capsaicin is apparently supposed to assist with lowering BP according to some studies. Raised BP would tend to be exacerbated by diets high in fatty/salty foods allegedly - nowt to do with heat/spices. For goodness sake everyone - there is enough choice in supermarkets to eat bland/spicy/palatable/hot/tasty foods. Eat what suits you and your taste buds. Simples! Jeez..... Edited to add - some find supermarkets ready meals too spicy, some (me!!) find them horribly bland - which probably means they are about right for the masses. Solution - cook your own meals and add what you darn well like!

Ridgley Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Food should be palatable does not need to be spicy > that is the main thing. I think food should be enjoyable, palatable sounds so......bland. If you don't like heat/spices plump for the plain stuff. If you do, pile it on.

and a little more 'old spice' 'Chili peppers, cayenne peppers and paprika -- the latter made from grinding the fruit of the bell pepper -- became very popular once they arrived in England. These peppers were particularly useful as meat was preserved in salt. The spices made from peppers helped mask the excessive saltiness. Oriental Spices Explorers brought back ginger, cinnamon, cloves and saffron from the Far East, thus creating the Oriental spice trade. These spices were used to flavor stews and, again, were added generally to disguise the taste of salt. Typical Meals Sweet and savory flavors were often combined, as many meat dishes contained cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Pies were stuffed with meat that had been mixed with pepper, cloves and mace. Fruits like apples, pears and strawberries were also cooked in cinnamon. Strong flavor combinations were typical' http://www.ehow.com/info_8470730_elizabethan-spices.html

Have had Yaktrax for a few years now - vital for making my way down the steep hill to the station from C Palace in ice/snow. Highly recommended.

Captain Scarlet Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > .....I agree with him that some food is too spicy being > sold in mainstream > Supermarkets.... Couldn't disagree more. Supermarket ready meals are generally uber bland so they suit the masses. On the rare occasions I buy them I have to add several spices to make them remotely edible. Pretty much all meals in supermarkets have the ingredients listed, but I think they could make the text bigger for those with eyesight problems.

HP Sauce is divine...oh yes

Buy any mass produced ready meal and your will find plain old blandness in abundance - to suit the masses!!! Me? I LOVE chillies LOVE curries LOVE garlic LOVE capers LOVE stinky danish blue LOVE anchovies LOVE extra strong onions AND my breath smells of lavender! Bring it on! I'll 'consider' plain food, and then give it a miss thank you v mucho.
