    . Apparently the chances of something cool like turning in to spider man are slim.


    (I find the idea of being radio active kind of funny and marvel/dc comics)

    Well I'm not promising you'll join me among the X-men but I've had dental and gut X rays and it left me these modest powers.:D

    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 cannot for the life of me understand why people buy smash, or ready made mash. The height of laziness imo. Up there with ice cubes, ready sliced cheese, ready grated cheese & other such "time saving" innovations that really are not worth the journey/effort & taste like muck.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    The lemonjelly fishfinger sandwich::drool:

    bottom layer of bread,
    topped with 1.5 potato waffles
    smear waffles with baked beans (approx half a tin)
    place 5 fish fingers on top of beans
    top layer of bread

    Om nom nom nom nom.:drool:

    a layer of cheese is optional...:o

    I've often wondered if bovril was an attempt to rebrand some failed wartime rationing experiment to sell "powdered steak".:)

    Does she need a liftshare by any chance?!
    I'm also stewarding...
    Nice thought, I'll try to find out and get back to you by PM, but I think we might be seriously out of your way.
    You might also have some cheap /fast bus rail combinations if you change at a certain university town. :)

    That reminded me, I was going to comment on that when lir mentioned it.

    He is divorcing her for not publicaly defending him??? He feels she should have told everyone they were just larking around and it just as easily have been him being strangled!

    He is a complete asre IMHO who has a criminal record as a wife beater (NDG please feel free to correct any factual in accuracy there).

    On our only trip to Glastonbury we looked to buy a camping loo of our own..some enterprisng soul was selling the s h 1 t box. Which was a cardboard box with a hole cut in it and plastic bags to 'catch' the waste. As I considered it OH pointed out it would collapse if the ground was wet.

    I believe that the Ploo was another one of these, that I saw reviewed somewhere. Here it is.

    Another 2 certificates on the office wall :)

    GBD can attest to having seen my 14ft wide, 11.5 ft high curtains in our living room - but only from the outside, as he was passing on the way to the tube.

    Indeed, yes. Very fine curtains. If you ever get fed up with the bar ..... :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Seems to me to be a fair summary of accepting a police caution for common assault against his wife.

    Can't see that happening (-:

    Hot weather gives me a massive energy surge - I went to sleep at 3am, got up at 6am, and have been busy and cheerful ever since!

    I'll send you your fiver later, for your swift and *cough* accurate reply.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
