Yes. Yes, I would have done.

Well edcam: if you would have happily sneered - let us also meet up. Are you man enough?

Yes but I'm too busy training the security guards at Sainsbury's to look out for time wasters.

Can't believe I missed this! Am sure eggs have a best before date anyway so that changes matters? Shouty showboat?

[showboat]

Best-Before is a recommendation only from the manufacturer as to when the food is (obviously) going to be at it's best - it is not a requirement to cease selling or consuming it after that date - though any sensible shop will not do so, and EHO's assume individuals use good judgement at home.

Use-By is a legal requirement where shops are concerned. Consumers are advised to use their best judgement when eating or drinking items that are past the Use-By date, and show careful consideration; meat, eggs and vegetables are hardier than fish, and manufacturers often place extremely cautious Use-By dates on food as they are aware many people will consume it after that time.

The relevant legal details...

This thread takes the biscuit...

BTW, eggs have little effect on cholesterol :-)

[missse22]

Your welcome Buddug! How did ur little drink up go?! If I didn't have kids I would have come along too, although I don't drink alcohol so mine would have been a red bull!! When I start coaching again you will have to come to my classes StraferJack, we can do a whole session sparring, and you can partner up with me, I'll even just use my jab lol

[buddug]

Drinks went splendidly! He's a great guy - we had a lot in common, as do most of us humans, lets face it. I'm as guilty as the next person when pontificating on the internet. I took a lot about myself away tonight and it restored my faith in human nature. It was good. And to be honest StraferJack doesn't need coaching any more than I do. Or maybe we all do?! But what kind of coaching do you do? Are you a counsellor? And what's this jab?

[missse22]

Lol I'm a boxing / Thai boxing coach .... Perhaps we all get together and do a session ...... Punch each other up in a professional training environment! Lol

Glad it went well, how random :)

[KalamityKel]

Is he still alive? :o

[missse22]

Lol :)

[StraferJack]

All safe and sound thanks. A very pleasant evening in good company

Reminded me of ye olde forum days of meeting "names" face to face

[JohnL]

I've eaten eggs a month out of date (been in my fridge) - Edwina would not be happy :)

In my youth they had no dates.

[edhistory]

We had one box of dates at Christmas.

This is my favourite thread on the forum OF ALL TIME.

[buddug]

It was eggs-cruciatingly bizarre wasn't it? But all's well that ends well! And thanks Strafer Jack for returning the compliment!

[StraferJack]

Any and all goodwill generated is null and void should egg based puns continue

I might even involve a legal team. Or heavies. Whichever is cheaper

[buddug]

I shall stop now Strafer Jack, I promise! (Eggainst my will!)

[corinne R]

I love a good ending to a story. Feel a tad eggmotional.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Is it all ova then?

[StraferJack]

I've had enoeuf of this

(If you can't beat 'em, fry 'em, ammiright?)

[buddug]

Enoeuf! Best yet! Avocado puns anyone?...
