Just for the sake of clarity I have absolutely nothing for or against Sheffield. I just happened to read that passage this am.

I live in a very hard water area and am struggling to get my shower tiles clean because of the damn limescale deposits :mad: what's the best thing to use to nuke the limescale that won't dissolve half of the shower? :rotfl:

Mr Muscle Showershine. The golden rule is that you spray it on the shwoer walls as you leave the shower. No need to wipe or scrub.

It is believed that Manchester City are about to request the exhumation of Peter Swales the chairman from long ago, it is thought he may have the key to the City trophy cabinet in his pocket.

OH was there (at Wembley), he hasn't come down to earth yet!

Saturday morning he couldn't talk -too nervous. I gently reminded him that he wasn't actually playing.

Thank goodness they won; it helped justify a VERY expensive ticket.

Both built on 7 hills. Don't think they compare in any other way.

I have googled the cinnamon sticks, and apparently it's much easier to grind them up if you dry them out in a frying pan for 30 seconds beforehand. These ones were distinctly tough as they were.

Singular I guess. But we generally pronounce the ''sche'' wrong in UK.

Pronounced broosketta ?

I've never heard the word said out loud, I've only ever read it - but I'd say it as broo-shetta.

Wonder who is right (posh) and who isn't

I'm not entirely sure what it is to be honest... some sort of bread I think.

Hard 'k' noise in the middle I think. Ch is a hard noise, ci or ce are the 'ch' sounds (eg cello).

It's basically toast made in the oven with olive oil and then stuff put on top. Most often it has tomatoes and basil on it but there's no good reason for that other than restaurants like putting cheap things on your plate.

Oh, so it's a "dish", I just thought it was a loaf of some sort. The sort of restaurants I go into have chips.

Did you buy cinnamon sticks or cassia bark? Cassia is the tough outer layer and cheaper.

I was only joshing about the wanting 10 thanks thing, I had a meeting start & needed an excuse to log off.!:o

Anyways, I got the jack on 16-14, which means I am in control of where we go & how far. Cardinal sin - I sent the jack off the green, thus giving the advantage to my opponents.

Now, what is key, is that my team were all huddled together, being encouraging, but also very quiet as to the circumstances of the game, all of them thinking that I didn't want to know the situation. However, the other team had 2 particularly vocal members & though they weren't intending to tell me, I overheard them say that their team was only 2 shots in front (& I assumed were losing 5-4 in games). Which meant (drum roll....) that it was all down to my game:eek:

If I beat the guy 21-18 or better, we win 6-4 on games plus the 2 extra points. If I lose, we lose the game. here are lots of other permutations, but like Mick mcCarthy, I'm not going into them. But I just sent the jack off....

So my opponent sends the jack. My first bowl is ok, but not great. His bowl, luckily, is worse than mine. I send another that is better, but still not great. I counted one, & move onto 17-14.

I won't bore you with that for every end. However, I won 21-16. Which means we won the game. YAY!:j & the team we beat were unbeaten so far this season.

Really enjoyable game, from both a team and a personal perspective.
