    Hey guys, you could help me out here, Mikey you are king of the dinner party. We have some people coming over on wednesday, it's a pretty important thing really, you know a work thing, hopefully before much longer I will be telling you all about it, a bit of an announcement, well a big one actually. Anyway, I am awful in the kitchen, I blame it on the cooker being a bit crap... it has two settings raw and burnt to a crisp. So what can I cook, something impressive but easy?

    Hey Toto,

    Mu O.H is a whizz in the kitchen, I used to work in the fish trade and she's cooked just about every species known to man. Every time we go abroad we always head for the local resturants that specialise in fish dishes and some of the recipes she's picked up are truly delicious; and very original. Fish is very fashionable too with the current emphasis on healthy eating.

    Ohh Rich isn't fish easy to b*gger up? I wish I were good at cooking but I've always been terrible. My trouble is I'm a bit impatient, I don't like waiting for things, so I go off and do something else. That something else is usually to go and play some drums for a bit, learn a part if I need to or just play for fun, but then I get right engrossed and the next thing I know it's 2 hours later and the smoke alarm is screaming above the noise I am making. I've never yet met a musician who is good in the kitchen, for much the same reason I think.

    So, if you two can come up with a toto-proof fish recipe that would be fab, I love fish and it's good for us. I can do a wicked salad to go with it, that's pretty much what we live off :rotfl:

    As for moblie phones Mike, to be honest I just use ebay. You have to be really careful though who you buy from. I don't buy from anyone who is out of the UK and I always check their feedback, no one with only a few feedbacks and I will only buy if they have sold stuff before. I just had to get a new one this week too, mine died, it's been hanging on for a couple of months but has finally given up, I am phoneless too and in a funny way I find it quite liberating to go out and not have the phone. Not so good for business though, which is why I am hoping my new one turns up quickly.
