They are 2 different things. Ideally you season first with the dry stuff, and add the sauce a bit later. Anyway, in the end I noticed nandos hot piri piri marinade in Sainsburys, and gave that a go. Very nice it was too.

Stunning (as well as it should have been) at points, but to role out McCartney at the end, fuck off!!!

Normally I do my own, but have run out of time, so does anyone know of a good brand of sauce for jerk chicken?

I dislike late licences, they have ruined the traditional lock in!

What pisses me off is that that is a decidedly non-inclusive games. Its all about money. Agreed. I might feel differently if I felt I could access the thing, but it's just happening around me. And for the record, it's not just the 2 weeks that will effect me, I'll be dealing with this well in to October, so there!

I'd much rather the money had been spent on coke and a stripper for every Londoner, I could enjoy that!

LOL!!!

"But Keef if it's just about you for a few weeks that's a bit one dimensional don't you think? Plenty of SEN kids are really excited about this for intstance....inconvenience and all." It's not all about me at all, and I'm jolly pleased you're excited. But I only live my life, and my life is going to be made more difficult by it, whilst I'm not getting anything back from it that I wouldn't have got had it been anywhere else on the planet. "I think what people may resent is this sense of enforcedf jovilaity, that somehow if you're not incredibly excited about it then you're some awful curmudgeon spoiling the party for everyone else." ^^^^^^^^ 100% This

As I say, I'll enjoy some of the sport, but I'd genuinely rather it be in Manchester. I work in Newham, and have to design routes for SEN kids to use public transport. So tell me, what are these Olympics doing for me other than making my life really difficult? You guys can get pissed off with the "miserablists", I'm getting pissed off with being called a miserablist because I'm not particularly excited about the Olympics being in my back yard.

Macho stupidness IMHO. Like people who order vindaloos just to show how hard they are.

I'm looking forward to some of the sport, but not remotely excited. Not because I am miserable or cool, but just because I am tired of the whole thing before it's even started.

Very very annoying!

DFS, so he parked for longer than he was meant to. So had he just been there half hour and had this happen, he'd get a load of sympathy then? I'm with LadyD on this one.

If he's at fighting weight, them I guess he'll fight. Agree that fighting Khan would be a big risk in terms of going out on a high, but it would be an even bigger risk to Khan. Hatton probably still throws bombs, and if Khan was KO'd by a semi retired bloke who hasn't been in the ring for a couple of years, surely that would be the end for him.

I thought Ricky had properly retired. I know "retirement" often doesn't mean anything in boxing, but I'd be surprised to see him in a ring again.

LondonMix you are quite right. And with hindsight I wish I'd just left well alone and let people advise the OP. I honestly meant no harm though.

Atticus, I already apologised ages ago for the sarcy tone of my original post, but there is no backtracking, my point is the same.

Can I just clarify something here, being as the likes of Atticus have decided to wade in (as usual). I think it is totally understandable that gay couples would want to know other gay couples. However, I read the OP "Me and my partner moved to East Dulwich last August and didn't realise how hard it was to meet people! We've heard that ED is full of lesbians but apparently our Gay Dars aren't working anymore. We have gay friends in and around London but it would be nice to know similar minded people around the same age (mid 20s) in the area that we live in. We'd really like to meet people (obviously just for a friendship). So if there's any other fairies out there make yourself known please smiling smiley would be great to have a few drinks and get to know you." And I genuinely wanted to know if she was interested in making any straight friends too, because she said "moved to East Dulwich last August and didn't realise how hard it was to meet people!". I never intended to cause an uproar, but f**k me, some people like to take offence over nothing! And others like to shit stir.

The wife and I were thinking of getting some skates for a laugh. Don't really want to buy online, as I used to skate and I know how important a good fit is. Anyone know of any good skate shops closeish to home? If not, which ones in town are worth visiting? Cheers

Bloody hell, chill out. I'm not a horrible person, I was just asking a feckin question.

That was basically what I was getting at, but sorry if I was a bit sarcy. But as Rosie says, I just wouldn't consider sexuality as a criteria for a friend. You specifically say you have a partner, and you just want friendship, so surely it makes no difference? Not being funny, just genuinely interested.

Also you could go mad, and make friends with some straight people too.

Oh, and wait til the last episode of season 4, one of the most gross yet cool scenes ever.

One of the best things I've seen in a long time. Just when you think "where can they possibly take this now", they find somewhere great to take it. Apparently the 5th season is being split in to 2 shorter series, and I think that's the end of it, which is probably about right.
