    Well done BB, just think how many questions those sweet and sour balls would have cost! That would put me off!

    Seeing the Peter Pan bloke on sunday (or the tube as Maz called him), hoped to have lost a couple of stone before hand but haven't and have ginormous plook on chin to boot!

    well, it could have been worse snags- I was going to suggest a whisky and woo woo!!:D

    Well, I've met myself half way. I've not given in to temptation and spent any money on a takeaway, on re-filling my glass I've chucked a pasta n sauce in the microwave (free on SW), however, I do seem to have 3 Value Chocolate Digestives next to my glass of wine at the moment whilst waiting for the microwave to do it's thing :whistle:
    Sounds like a good compromise to me! :T

    :rotfl: Whisky and woo woo.....are you trying to kill me or summat?? :D

    Naughty biscuits, sneaking in there! :eek: You've all made me hungry so am having the leftovers of tea, which is, er, spaghetti and parmesan :o

    Hi Snagggs and Lou :)

    What's in a killer kebab?!

    The Killer Kebab as I call it contains

    1 Pitta bread
    Salad
    Donner Kebab meat
    Kofte Kebab Meat
    Chicken Tikka
    Some other meat that is bright red

    This kebab is huge!!!!! Hence the name:cool:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • better 3 naughty biscuits than a HUGE plate of chinese squirrel!

    I've found an online sign language course for £15. I've always wanted to learn but I have a deaf learner in my class who is bringing a signer so I'm going to ask if work will pay the £15 for me to do the course so I can try to communicate with him myself. They have a pot of money for staff development so it shouldn't be a problem.


    EDIT: I mean 'chinese (comma) squirrel', not 'chinese squirrel'............not sure I've ever seen that on my menu, unless it's masquerading as chicken chow mein or something similar! :rotfl:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    BB, maybe it's a scottish thing but I'm sure I've seen a lot of free sign language courses - for the beginner level anyway. is there nothing like that at your college?

    I'm just looking up how to make onion soup as I have loads of onions and a general lack of other food in the house.. not to mention the fact I love the stuff.. drool...

    no, nothing free where I work - there was a 1 day course but it was cancelled due to low numbers this week :(
