    I haven't seen anyone post that is older than me yet. I'm 43. LOL

    Always - as I posted previously, I think the reason we had such high odds of 1:12 were because of the age - as I think they start the figures at 1:50 at my age. But we try to look at it as 92% positive, rather than that 8% negative.

    There are metal bars (aluminium?) that you can buy to rub your fingers on post-onion to help neutralise the smell, I've seen them in the Lakeland catalog .... but I couldn't be bothered with buying that, so I just rub a spoon between my fingers under the cold tap after cutting onion and garlic, that seems to work pretty well!

    eta - just found it on Lakeland's site, they call it a "steel soap"

    I love the mse idea, spoons it is :T

    Mrs Moc - I can still smell the onions and garlic on my fingers from when I cooked on Sunday!!!! Stinky but quite nice :o

    Meeting with boss in T-minus 15 minutes :o


    We must use very different types of onions, when they make my fingers stink, it is one of the worst smells I have came across, reminds me of a dirty mop :confused:
