I beg to differ. I did watch it for a few minutes but that was enough for me:rotfl: Fortunately Match Of The Day 2 is now on:p

No contest.....who in their right mind wants to watch a load of overpaid chavs, chasing a ball whilst constantly spitting, pulling their shirts over their heads and doing silly dances and kissing their teammates, who they secretely hate for sleeping with their WAGS :rotfl:

Woodlice make me shudder. I'm really freaked by em.
When I was a young un in my first house with no parents to get rid of little visitors, I tried to rid myself of em. I couldn't bring myself to squish them. I used to chuck em in the toilet to kill em quick.

Now. You may not believe me. In the morning, they would still be alive and walking around the bottom of the pan!!! How is that? I've never understood this. No one believes me.
It freaked me out even more. They don't have gills... Do they? How is it possible?!

I found this out while putting some weathered wood into my dad fish tank. I cleaned it and had left it on the windowsill the sunny day in summer we had, didn't think to check it before putting it into the tank (don't know why I left it to dry first though:rotfl:)
Came in hearing my mum scream for the poor wee woodlouse who was being 'tasted' by the fish to see if he was edible :eek: Got him out quickly although he was swimming in the tank to get to the surface. Now always check everything before putting it into the tank.

I'm happy to help. Such a friendly venue. I knew you wouldn't mind me holding the fort. Any excuse to go in the kitchen

The hot chocolate is on the work surface next to the kettle.

Have a pleasant evening.

Not boring me!! Anyhoo, it's all healthy conversation.

If the topic needs to move on, I have an idea...

What MSE thing do you do that you would probably only confess on here but never in real life????

I'll tell you mine. I did it this morning.

The vacuum suction was weak so I knew that the bag must be full.

I got the bag out and emptied it out of the hole that the hose connects too. It is a mucky job which calls for finger dexterity and takes 3or4 mins but it saves the price of a replacement hoover bag!!!

Phew, I thought I was the only one that did this. I started doing it by accident looking for bits of Lego that had got sucked up and then realised that as the bag was empty, I might as well re-use it. I always do it outside and if anyone asks, I'm looking for lego !

Probably a bit sad, but I got fed up trying to squeeze the last blobs of toothpaste out of the tube. Now I cut the 'head' end off and run my brush round the inside

HAMMIEHOO

Thanks Jumblejack you too.

I got a bit distracted by Sherlock Holmes:)

Do like him:D

How were those parsnips?

Come on, make us jealous

I planted them early last summer,they are always better after a frost.When I prepared them there were no woody bits in the core.I roasted them in olive oil and my god they tasted lovely.I cooked the leeks in butter and olive oil too.If you have vegetables that fresh you can really taste the difference
We still have more to harvest
