If it does not, we may have inadvertently broken the rules. I may ask an expert....
Ask 2, and get 3 opinions?...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'.0 -

I think which rice tastes nice depends what the meal and mood is.0 -
A small, but nice house, with a choice of 2-3 south-west facing balconies overlooking a nice sandy beach. Double garage, integral; utility, open plan kitchen/diner. Conservatory on one of the balconies, for those cooler days, or when it's damp.vivatifosi wrote: »In the imaginary world in which money is no object, what would you like?
Do I get to pick more stuff now or is that it?
If there's more .... then: curtains, furniture, a fridge/freezer, a telly, some smart telly thing, a smartphone with a good optical zoom camera, some tablet things to find out what they're like. Unlimited Internet. Small workshop space.

Small/fuel efficient car + a fuel card that gets paid by the payment fairies.
And, I guess, since we're in la-la land .... a monthly income of £1500 to live on, giving me a fortune to do/buy stuff like bills, food, eating out, small holidays, some new jeans.0 -
The times I've had that (works canteens) - it's had a disgusting texture... and didn't taste that nice at all.... I found it a bit hard in the middle every time. Probably eaten it 6x in various places - always the same problems.neverdespairgirl wrote: »Why not go the nutritional route, and have brown rice? It tastes nicer, too.0 -
The daughter of someone we know has gone to study drama this year. Her dad says she is training to be a waitress.
Someone walking past me was saying "She'll finish her MA in drama and then she'll decide....." I'm afraid that I finished her sentence for her ".... whether to work in McDonalds or KFC. "
Edit: It's okay. I didn't say it out loud.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

It is a different texture to white rice.
IMO its not less pleasant but it is different. Sort of nuttier and yes, more toothsome.
I am also a fan of other rices . Korean black rice is a favorite, and i'dceat hideously expensive wild rice ( yes, yes whoever wants to be a pedant) often if I could justify it.0 -

That's a good idea for a wish list money no object present! The others are good ideas for wish list money no object life! :rotfl:0 -
Very true, but that would be trumped by anything health related, so breaking the law about walking would be allowed.
There is no limit on how far you can walk within a built-up area. It raises the question, though, whether Hampstead Heath counts as part of the built-up area, as it is wholly enclosed within London but it is quite large. If it does not, we may have inadvertently broken the rules. I may ask an expert....

Well, to be honest, I've never had a "money no object" present, nor ever considered one ... and I've lead a very small life, with no idea what well off people do with money. So it's more of a "tramp's wish list" than a "money no object" list I guesslostinrates wrote: »That's a good idea for a wish list money no object present!

If I've no experience of it, no knowledge of it, it can't be on the list.0 -

Money no object = kids for me.
As expensive as they are though, I love them to bits!💙💛 💔0
