    Needs chips and beans.... that's verging on child abuse. Fish fingers, chips and beans (or peas). Food of the Gods.

    When I was small my favourite (and possibly only) ' pre cooked' meal was fishmongers. I liked them with peas and mash. Beans and chips would have made me a little glum.

    I used to beg mother to make 'real' mash. Such as they advertise don television (smash) not make that stuff she made,:o. And then if i didn't have to eat with the adults used to take delight in making a sort of patty of the peas and potatoes, sometimes adding ketchup to make it orange.:D

    I can still remember the joy. :D. I liked proper food too, as much, but there was something exciting about 'kid food'. I had forgotten how exciting that was. :)


    Edit.....fish FINGeRS. Not fishmongers

    Dunno about chips and beans but there has to be sauce, tartatre or brown or if you're feeling greedy, both.

    Been looking at all routes from mainland to IoW.

    Its a few years since I've been to a festival, and I'm not sure I can carry all my stuff any more.

    Have just found that you can book a 'through' train ticket to the IoW - that would be £72 return, change once in London then change onto a Catamaran at the coast. Plus I might be able to swap some clubcard vouchers/ get some cashback. Total journey time from here approx 4 hours.

    The sit down wees only for the first 24 hours will be because most of it will exit you via your urine within that time. I guess that makes sure most of it goes down the loo instead of being sprayed around the bathroom :D

    Forgive me but I thought LiR was a woman (although I have never met LiR). Where I come from it is normal for women to sit down to wee.

    According to wikipedia (therefore it must be true) the effective dose is 0.26 milliSieverts and normal UK background radiation is 1-3 milliSieverts per year - that doesn't sound like a huge increase to me (as I said, all figures from Wikipedia so they might be completely made up).

    Hmm...so is the first 24 hours the best mr
    Ravel transformation window, or is it like homeopathy and chances in crease the more dilute or longer it ism in me? :D That means if I'm healthier he more likely I am to be Spider-Man...:rotfl:


    I cannot find out about sex anywhere. :o. I am guessing with a condom and both of us keeping good hygiene.....but I'll check.

    I'd never seen Smash in real life - my flatmate eats loads of it. Unless she's feeling flush when she buys ready made mash :eek: Making Smash looks like just as much hard work as making real mash (though I guess you don't need to have potatoes 'in stock').


    They're reshowing the Andy Murray documentary on BBC1 at the moment, if anyone's interested.

    I've looked at 3 ports... the current front runner is furthest away from you (I think).
    I just looked, yes, 3, I'm at the left one. If you're going from the far right that's 50 miles from me; nearest to me is 11 miles or so.

    It's funny ....because the sheet the doctor gave me to read said to sit down. That's not very useful info to me, but now of course I am thinking of things I will need to find out...

    1. Best Spider-Man window (whiten to buy Lycra and thread)
    2. Sex protocol
    3. Critter protocol

    She is indeed, very much so.

    But I've had a stand up wee before (at a festival, mind you!), and you never know with lir :D

    (and I thought it made for a funnier reply :o / lir didn't specify that the instructions were sex-specific)
