    My favourite breakfast is ruined tomatoes on toast.

    (You ruin them by grilling them for far too long. It brings out all the flavour. Yummy!)

    I like stewed tomatoes on toast. But i think of it as being for supper. Is we bake bread for breakfast i might use some for stewed toms next week. :D

    Now if you were a wind up merchant you could stay off the site for a few days and wait and see how big the search posse is that LIR organises to go and check you are ok...

    I am much too nice to do that! :A

    Lydia started a reply to a post of mine with that. I was all for quoting it and placing it in my sig :A

    Well, my sig quotes you out of context....
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    You know, i cannot help but be impressed by rebekah brooks this time round. She is behaving with dignified grit and decourous rigour.

    This whole thing at the moment seems like a bit of a phoney war tho as nothing can be asked of her or Coulson (or anyone else) that might prejudice a future trial.

    Why does worry me with her though is there don't seem to be any photos of her looking dreadful, everyone looks terrible at some time and the papparazzi will always get the shot and it will always be used to indicate someone is under pressure. Does she always look OK or would it be a foolish papparazzi or news editor who dared to cross her?

    I think it will be chinese night... my local does a "one box" offer, where you get 6 chicken balls, some S&S sauce and some egg fried rice for under £4 (special discounted offer at the moment until the end of the month). This is served in a polystyrene box, so no washing up.

    Just enough without being piggy ... and at a price at which one can avert eye contact and pretend it's a bargain if this extravagence is queried.

    What REALLY f***ks me off is the way all the chinese takeaways round here do a "Spend £10 and get any dish for £1" offer .... it's not for singles..... I couldn't eat/order £10s worth of food.

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

    So, that's 3 capons-worth of balls.
