The Compers Inn - Part 13

Yes, so that makes Birmingham Central doesn't it? Or am I just confused with geography again?

Is Birmingham central, SOD is in Devon and there are a few north of the border?

Me and Tulip only live a few miles from each other! From the top floor of our house we almost see the coast where she is - probably if she sent up a firework we would see it!

I am very pleased to report that the slow roasted pork shoulder was melt in the mouth delicious

Started it off in hot oven for half an hour, then poured on some cider, covered it in foil and just let it cook at 150 degrees for another four/five hours. You could carve it with a spoon!!!!! I bought it because it is such a cheap cut, but the fat simply melted away and the meat is just left very succulent, great value fed five adults and a child with tons for sandwiches tomorrow for £3.02! I'm really pleased with the result and recommend it. Had crackling too

I want to stay ahead by a few days with the comps as have a busy week ahead. More blood tests tomorrow which I am dreading and also have my appointment (free) with the top solicitor who has asked to see me as he heard about my case.

Tulip, thinking of you as Will is on tv! Bless him, what a sweetie.

oh snap I cook a joint of pork today, popped it in this morning on 120 and cooked by 3pm, lovely and juicy

You will be fine tomorrow, lots of luck

Hello Campbell, welcome to our Inn. Best advice is to read VelvetGlove's excellent guide to comping which is a sticky on the comps forum.

Good luck.

Stop by any time - all life is here!?!?

Hi Campbell, Welcome to our inn, we are a friendly bunch of [STRIKE]compers[/STRIKE]nutters. We chat, laugh, share our problems and if we get around to it we do a little comping

Flickering - Central point is Windermere - 437 miles either way from tip of scotland to the tip of cornwall. I didnt look it up oh did, gave him something to do for 5 mins:rotfl: :rotfl:

Awww, bless you and your OH Cathy. I like Windermere in summer.

Is it just me or does cider really make you fart? I'm on my 5th bottle now...

Sometimes you post a comp and then wonder whether it was actually worth the hassle, as it ends up with PMs and extra posts on the thread...
