Ah Hibbs, on that one, the H-E seems to be keeping schtum, or as Nettie would have it:



the hand/eye ain't listening/seeing


I have another question: Dear all seeing Hand-Eye, will I ever have dinner with people who can navigate a cheese board and don't cut the cheese so as to nab all the best bits for themselves?

Ah Rosie


Welcome back to the table of the fountain of knowledge.


The Hand-Eye? says....


There once was a woman who saw heaven and hell, but found they were nearly the same.

Each one consisted of a group of people sitting at a round table with cheese. But their chopsticks were way too long to eat cheese with! The difference was that people in heaven were always full of cheese and happy, while the people in hell were messin' with the cheese.

Yes.


Purgatory is a giant fondue of bubbling hot cheese maxxi, though i'm not sure it's limited to "Babybels" as i'm sure the odd cheese string or Bavarian Smoked slips in there.


Does that answer your question ?

Maxxi, maxxi, maxxi,


Rescind your anger, Smok/Bav is an unwilling criminal in the cheese world.


I'm much more furious with Red Leicester; which is neither red nor from Leicester.

RosieH. Please note, the nose is cut from this cheese.


The H-E

aaah, Red Leicester - the permatanned chav of the cheese world.


This particular example bears the seam and creases of a vacuum-packed portion, a bit like a teenager's bedroom - all sweat, greasy skin and a smell of old vomit. The laughing cow must be turning in her grave.


Re Bavsmochee I refer you to the hollanderish cheese-eating classes - "Cheese that is deemed not fit to eat in Holland (all Bavarian smoked cheese, for example) is fed to the cats"


eta: and it comes in LOGS!

I have a question of social etiquette.


"don't nose the cheese" can only apply to cheeses with non constant features eg blue cheese which have more concentrated centres? I have worked this out as my own theory over time, but cant see the logic in people taking a "side strip" of a constant cheese like camembert....


I'm sure Rosie Cheese will put me right.

Ah Franky-poos


The H-E is resting ( actually she's cuffed to my side )


I'm sure she'll glam up later for a shot though.


Nette:)

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
