Tv chefs who go on tour, discover a fabulous previously undiscovered chef in some country or the other and rather than showing that chef cooking so we can learn from them, the tv chef insists on cooking something mediocre for the said chef... Grrrrr the tv chefs have a whole program about them but I want to see more by the undiscovered chef
Posters that are so full of themselves that they have to post on every thread going. No matter what the subject they have to get in. They cannot shut up. Over 13000 posts! Non-stop. Give it a rest. Take a break like O did, be discerning. Know what I mean j?

I'd sooner read 13,000 of Jeremy's posts than 13 of yours, which are almost without exception simply spiteful and trollish. Do you get off on just being as unpleasant as you can to people? The evidence would certainly seem to point that way.

That's causing me irrational giggles. Especially since English-speakers often over-egg the "oo" sound, like when people intend to say merci beaucoup! but turn it into merci beau cul! (that's "thanks, nice arse!")


"So you see darling, I simply had to deliver the cul de gras!" - the good old 'arse of fat' :D

Finding, at last, good condition Mervyn Peake paperbacks to replace mine foolishly lent, years ago, in a charity shop, Titus Groan and Titus Alone, with a space in between them. sigh. Probably only ten minutes too late.

Hi Sue.

I've always got Popadoms in the cupboard.

I deep fry them in Sunflower oil. 190 deg c and they come out crisp and dry. Just stand upright for 20 seconds.

They tend to go hard not crisp in the micromave.


Do use Micro wave I'm in a hurry. but they do not swell up like they do when deep Fried.

Waiting in all day for something to arrive that you have ordered.


I'm waiting for a fence panel to arrive from Jewsons E.D. No time given.. Not even a.m / p.m

If it had arrived this morning I could of fitted it and then gone out.

Someone phones you. You answer to find that the caller isn't paying attention and engaged in a conversation with someone else while waiting for me to answer. Well I did answer and as you couldn't be arsed to listen I put the phone down on you. Timewasters.

    • To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!
    • I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....
    • Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.    
    • We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
