Things that make me angry on the tube....that man on the northern line who eats raw bulbs of garlic, people taking photos, people taking flash photos, people groping, people trying to shove me down the aisle, when i have a walking stick with me and won't be able to get out at my stop if i am too far from the door, people who huff at people who dare to bring a big bag on the tube, people with loud music, who make themselves deaf, have peoples head throbbing with the beat, unruly teens, people who huff at small children or mothers with unhappy babies, who cannot help it and of course unhappy babies who cannt help it but whose noise goes throughevery ones head like shards of broken glass....especially travelling during peak.

sorry about all of that (except the loud music, that must have been someone else)

Easter gifts? Other than eggs?

Posh alert for PN!

Well, truth is, old has NO summer tops, so it was a couple of those, purchased a month ago .... and using the old's card. I kind of feel guilty, but I did put effort into thinking of it, queueing to use the old's card.... and then remembering to deliver them today.

So - that's as good as it gets.

We never did Easter in our house, so anything done is more than usual/expected.



Upon arrival, it seems the old has had a turn (tia), so the old is now on the next level of loon.... still knows who we are though.

But Chewy, we are speculating as to what it is that attracts your girlfriend to you and accounts for her not leaving you. Your comment doesn't help us much with that.

Recently a few of my RL girlfriends (who coffee rather than lunch) have group chatted on WhatsApp. (real time messaging on smart phones) The conversation drifts randomly just like this thread.

Over the last few days some of us have been doing a lot of cooking and the photos of the results have appeared on the WhatsApp group.
Yesterday someone put some not nice comment and I replied with, "I thought this was meant to be the nice people thread", cue a whole range of responses (Nice? us? Lol! variety) as they clearly didn't know what I was talking about.:o:o:o

I see today they finally launched a proper careers advice service. I tried that Next Step - what a waste of time/space. First you contact them and make an appointment, then you go in and talk to them and she said "you need to leave the county and go get a job", no clues as to what/where. Then she made another appointment to go over my CV, so I went back for that and she said "Nothing wrong with that". Leave the county, get a job.

Waste of time .... I'd never go back and never ever recommend them to anybody.

Definite posh alert.

It would be... except they weren't mine. The Alfa was a loaner, from a garage - I'd gone to a random car show and blagged a weekend test drive. They delivered it to me and I had it for a weekend to test drive.

The Porsche 911 I've driven was a really old and tatty one and not mine - and I was driving it 200 miles because the owner wanted to leer out of the window at girls.... this leering included making me pull over on the M4 and get into the squashed back part, so he could pick up a hitchhiker, who we dropped off in Bath. Driving that was a one off - serious "can't reach the pedals and see out of the window at the same time" issues there! It was also seriously uncomfortable to sleep in while drunk.... in the morning when they opened the car door I still had my glass in my hand.

I have started pulling together all my online recipes - that I will never make. But I do like to look at the pictures.

If the intention of making pepper soup was to find a nice way to use peppers in a soup, then this one caught my eye and is in my collection.

Serves a small planet, more than 2 ingredients, but looks bl00dy nice (although I'd probably serve it a little wetter and a tad lumpier than their photo):

http://www.phamfatale.com/id_155/title_Tarragon-Sweet-Potato-Roast-Bell-Pepper-Soup/

I am using a fabulous system that is brilliantly searchable instantly and gives great thumbnail pics of all my recipes. I've got sections and tags and the search will search all the text.

Love adding my recipes to my collection now they're instantly available to drool over.

It's a whole, colour photo, recipe book, accessible online or offline .... containing only recipes I saw/liked on the telly, or random wanderings through google

Oh - and it also tells me how many recipes I have in all the categories I chose for them.... it says:

Total recipes: 255
I've cooked: 2

Nice photos though
