    Can't you buy dirty pants in vending machines in Japan? Not quite art, though.....

    The background to my little bit of knowledge is that on another forum, the husband of one of the ladies left her for a working girl and siad forummer found that there is a forum for ladies of the night. She directed us, purely in the pursuit of knowledge you understand, to said forum and one of the topics was the price of worn knickers - apparently the rate is going down and it's not worth doing at the moment, even if you offer certain additional, erm, options.

    There's some very funny folk out there:eek:

    It will shortly be 9.10/11/12/13. This will be the last such run of numbers for some time, so I thought I'd let you know so you can make the most of that minute.

    If you miss it, you can do it all over this evening.

  • 21.10/11/12/13 doesn't have quite the same ring to it, so I presume we need to be am / pm-ing instead?

    I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed - I'm tired, and I'm in court today, Carol Concert for Mini One this evening, court tomorrow, Chambers' Christmas drinks tomorrow night, two cases in Feltham on Friday.

    I just feel tired and sick, and would rather go back to bed than don my wig & gown and pose as a barrister (-:

    Hope DW is OK. For some reason I thought your wife would only eat out in kosher establishments.

    I like my pizzas thin and crispy.



    She is quite careful what she eats, but years of association with me have mellowed her zeal. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
  • Is she happy to eat veggie stuff in non-Kosher restaurants and houses, then?

    The best pizza is a deep pan from Pizza Hut, espceially the £5 deal they do for a meat feast.

    .
    If I knew there was a £5 deal I might have tried one .... but as I don't spend money - and as when I've looked PH are expensive - I'd have never seen/noticed that.

    I generally dismiss offers/deals as the small print usually catches you out. e.g. £5 if you buy it between 5pm and 6pm on a Wednesday and if you buy 2 and pick it up wearing a parrot on your shoulder.

    Smash for example was and is absolutely vile.
    I used to love Smash - it can be a special technique to get it right, but I found if I added water slowly then it gave good results.... in fact, I've been thinking of posting a thread askign people which is the best instant mash these days as it'd be good to have a packet in the house maybe

    Lots and next to nothing ATM respectively.


    The thing is people have them deliver on palates to the door mainly. By the time they have arrange collection from here there is no saving for others really unless we 'give' them away. It would suit someone very local with little storage who wants to keep them here, but then who like that would get that sort of heating?

    Would they be good for gardeners? People put wood chips down as mulch and to suppress weeds. I have no idea whether these are the right sort of chips, though?


    Wood chips for the BBQ go for an absolute fortune! £££s a kilo! :)

    My husband has Smash. Bear in mind that I'm uber allergic to potatoes so it is difficult to have 'real' potatoes in the house. So we have to buy pre-packed fries, roasties etc. Sometimes we also buy pre-prepared mash (I can't touch any of the peelings or anything).

    He says the technique is to add water slowly and also use milk and butter. The milk should have some fat content, so not skimmed. He won't use any other instant mash.

    Actually, thinking about it, I think I've just found another reason that the rellies won't come to us at Christmas...

    Aldi has probably sold out of these already, but they have tablets (not paracetemol) on offer this week for £79.99... May be worth a look if anyone still wants one for Christmas:
