Breadmakers

[SimonM]

Agree with all the positive comments about the Panasonic. We have had ours almost 2 years and it has been used 3 or 4 times a week and saved a fortune in sandwich shop lunches. We can spend 5 minutes on a Saturday evening loading it, press a couple of buttons and there's a brand new load ready fist thiing the next morning.

I am not knocking "proper" breadmaking by any means but soemtimes you really do need the time and the convenience.

Oh it makes fantastic dough for hot cross buns too...

When I bought our Amazon was doing the cheaped deal.

[SeanMacGabhann]

fantastic!

It's been aaaaages since we had a *Bob*/Alan ding-dong....

And for the numpty gag alone Alan is ahead on points (even though *Bob* is right)

[lozzyloz]

Love it. I think that tops the 2008 best EDF quote thread. Priceless.

[Alan Dale]

What do you mean *Bob* is right?! Everyone knows bread makers are the sodastreams of the 90s. You lot make me sick.

I prefer you when you sit on the fence Sean.

I've go tmy basic hygiene cerificate somewhere - don't make me get it out.

[Alan Dale]

I bet *Bob* still uses his soda stream. Scratch that I bet he's got some original 1950s soda syphon that he picked up in Holland. Only way to make a campari and soda...blah blah blah.

[mockney piers]

Ooh, I got an 1890s soda syphon for christmas. I don't think it works though.

[Brendan]

My folks got a soda stream in 1987. We used it all the way through my childhood and they still use it now. (good for making the soda water to go with the brandy you see) 20 years use isn?t bad I would say. Even though the handle fell off years ago and was replaced by a piece aluminum pipe that my dad bolted on.

Oh and it is a bit temperamental. You have to know how to use it or it explodes on you.

[*Bob*]

I find it hard to have a proper pop at Alan ever since he said that others have described him as "looking like Christopher Biggins - only with less hair".

Sometimes just the thought of it keeps me awake at night. For all the wrong reasons. (Or should that be all the right reasons?)

[SeanMacGabhann]

"I prefer you when you sit on the fence Sean."

Now, we both know that's not true, Alan

Let's hope your house lasts as long, Alan.. what with it being built around the same time.

[Alan Dale]

We are all the characters we cast onto these hallowed pages.

I am a fat bald guy with a small eighties house who drinks in the Silver Buckle. You are a slim rich guy with period features who drinks campari and soda. Thanks for reminding me.

You are a vain snob *Bob*. Shame you weren't such a snob on your UCAS form.

Agreed Sean. Seems like you got a backbone for Christmas.

[*Bob*]

Good to know I can always count on a cheap shot at 'Selbourne Village' to raise the hackles.

You should get a breadmaker, Alan. It will make you a better person.

[Alan Dale]

I've got one. We never use it.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

So all that ranting was about you

[Alan Dale]

Among others.

Don't we all just come on here to talk about ourselves?

[Brendan]

So we have established that everyone here with a bread maker, except Alan, finds it useful.

Why don't you sell it to Blinder? He's 'in the market' for one. Should pay for a night down at The Buckle.

[Alan Dale]

Alan Dale's 'we sold the breadmaker' karaoke night at The silver Buckle, Camberwell.

Maybe. Although I should probably put the cash towards a Victorian money pit near Peckham Rye. Take away your competitive advantage.

Anyway 'Blinder's a tight wad and I'm anonymous. Sounds like a tough deal to broker.

It takes a big fat bald man to admit when he's wasted money on a breadmaker Brendan.

[Keef]

Just got home and checked, ours is a Panasonic SD 252

[Alan Dale]

See.

[lozzyloz]

If you leave the BM behind the bar at The Silver Buckle I can exchange it for the agreed fee from Blinder less my usual 20%.

Btw have you and *Bob* considered going stateside to help out with the script writing shortage?

Oi, when did this become pick on Keef day.

[Brendan]

Big fat bald man. I don?t know so much. I reckon you are probably a stoner student with too much time on her hands and ?ideas? about the world that don?t necessarily wash with the bleeding heart brigade down the union.

[Alan Dale]

Sorry Keith. You're not bald.
