Don't take it to heart, mate. I mean - Simon. You're just getting the fallout from Woodrot's cracking contribution for the day.

I'm throwing my full support behind this Iceland thread, not the other one.

We should be marching every munter over the age of 18 to the ballot box at forcing them to put a cross in at least one box - or soil their ballot. Or we could stick the faces of top politicians on a big wheel pinned to the clock face of Big Ben - and spin it until it stops, accompanied by cheering and a barrel organ. It's what the Suffragettes and our Glorious Dead would have wanted.

Jack / Mitch.. I hope you're reading. Some useful pointers here for your future efforts.

It's just the price you have to pay for that bona-fide 'village feel'

Actually this one's better..

The Google Game always has the answers to the big questions on everyone's lips.

Why oh why did I ask Pandora to show me her nipple? Anybody?s nipple would have done. Nigel says that Sharon Botts will show everything for 50p and a pound of grapes. I have written Pandora a short note. I stand corrected.

???? is right though - Ken totally blew it over tax, the tit. Politicians usually become divisive by 'doing things'. Not a problem Boris has had - to date.

Boris might as well have been issued with a chunky gold chain and a daft pointy hat. Hope there are a few new faces next time around.

Unless your point is 'worth a whole pound'. A compliment.. of sorts?

Was it a pound? I always remembered it as a bag. The weight was unspecified.

Twitter account now wiped from existence. Ol' Jack / Mitch has been good-humoured about the whole thing though.. no harm done, let's do lunch etc

#awesome

I'm not familiar with the Twitter scene, but whole thing looks totally brilliant. Jack, do you think the Winebox internship could really be achievable? That would be awesome!!

Twitter feed now blocked. This frees-up five minutes of completely pointless timewasting on my part - for which I am grateful.

Yep, bone-dry, slightly sweet, all wrong.. just the way I like 'em.

Sometimes things which are dirty, cheap and wrong are just eminently more satisfying. Not often, I grant you, but sometimes - and (for me) burgers are one of those times. I have dipped my toe into the world of the proppa burger time and time again, like a fool, because I really want to believe, but the simple truth is that I don't enjoy them that much. In fact around two thirds of the way in, sure as eggs, I'm sick to death of the whole experience. In contrast I dine with Ronald perhaps a few times a year - and have not once left his table disappointed. Ok, David?

Yes.. but whilst a properly prepared rare burger (ie take the bit round the edge before you mince it) is totally fine, rare chicken will never be so. So you're not really dealing with the same threat. Anyway, they're still shite.

I think the science is: when you cook a steak, you can have it as bloody as you like as long as you blast the bit on the outside which is open to the air, because that's where any potential danger is. The issue with burgers is that if the person what prepared them minced the bit on the outside and then cooked them rare, then a bit on the outside which might not be potentially safe is now on the inside and uncooked. Potentially..

I was curious as to whether the people advocating eating rare burgers would also ride a unicycle whilst playing a penny whistle.. But I then I realised they were two different things. That said, I'm with Keef. I'll never waste my money on another burger - unless it's served under golden arches.
