    BTW, I have set up a small (for friends) dream team/fantasy football thing (free with the sun - spits).

    The Inspector has previously organised fantasy football here. Whilst I don't wanna jump into his seat & usurp him, I am sure he has much more important stuff to do. Should I start a MSE/Nice peeps league?

    Yes you should IMHO. Just keep your allium and fungus hating to yourself please Mr Jelly.

    Who doesn't like onions FGS* (except you of course Snr J)?




    *!!!!!! for the NPT.

    Mini league created. You will need to create an account, & can then apply to join a mini league.

    The mini-league name is MSE
    The mini-league password is boombust

    I'll start a thread on it too, & PM the inspector:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I just put that jelly guy on ignore and NDG, who dislikes both F1 and mushrooms, has been reported to the mods. :D

    I don't dislike F1. Just mostly indifference, with a mild puzzlement as to the point of it.

    A mate of my parents is allergic to onions (quite badly, the trouble-breathing type of allergy).

    It's amazing how many things are in the same group - he can't have garlic, chives, etc either.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I don't like garlic or chives either.

    I really should shut up. I'm going to alienate myself the way things are going...:o

    you know, if any thing ever happened to dh I was going to call you and pull some boots on. You better hope wageslave is still available.

    DH can't stand it when I pick at food, he finds is far less sexy than being overweight (I really hate being overweight moire than any of the pain/other problems that devleoped when I got ill and as it gets worse I become more annoying to live with :o). I feel the same way, I like a man who enjoys sensuality on a plate...varied, hot, spicey, slurpy, raw and fresh. The same with interests, I'd find it hard to live with someone who wasn't a polymath I think. That's because I'm a flibbertygibbet.

    thank goodness!


    BTW, I was impressefd to see in the green gorcers the other day a HUGE bottle, like a litre and a half or two litres, of dried mushrooms for about £7.50. Excellent value for mushroom lovers...I like fresh ones best, but that concentrated flavour of dried ones in a sause with fresh ones is formidable, unbeatable.

    I'm getting excited about autumn cooking now. :j:j

    I'd do it for £10 for a link ... and £25 for a short paragraph :)

    Never had a single PM offering though :(

    I seem to remember some sort of record scandal in the 1960's, where people were getting payments for plugging the latest 7/6 worth of 7" PVC disc. Mind you the best way of getting a disc into the charts was to have the BBC ban it, like "Nutrocker" & "Je t'aime"

    We all have our price? I'll do it for 50p! No No I have my pride, make that £1.50 :rotfl:

    What do these placement people expect and how does what they want inserted in a blog or a twitter get past the thought police and the spam, scam cynics like me?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Je_t%27aime..._moi_non_plus
    Here is the full list:
    Interestingly The Kinks record Lola was banned, not because it was about a transvestite, but because it included "product placement" for Coca Cola. [I don't think the thought police understood the lyrics]

    Happy innocent times.
