How do you even know there's 11,000 calories in the goose fat?

Just a wee bit of mental maths! The jars tell you how many calories are in 20g, then just a bit of multiplication

That makes sense now, I hadn't realised the information would be on the jars.

I shall investigate SL, that sounds like my idea of heaven. I don't think we could have it as part of the lawn (poor drainage), but wild Greek oregano would do well in pots I think. We got married in Greece, so many memories

I always planned to make a "turf seat" (adapted to stools) after seeing one at Hampton Court Flower Show, years ago - the designer had planted it with camomile rather than turf but I always fancied thyme and oregano as herbs I use more and as you say, they are evocative of other places. I can't insert the image on this device but if you google camomile seat there are examples for ideas. You could go very simple and make one from a crate filled with grit and soil so the drainage is good - the key thing will be the weather. Ours survived the snow in the lawn but in a more exposed container you may need some protection

I have ox-eye daisies in an old drawer, no kidding - a crate would be fine, and you could fit more oregano in

When did cinema tickets start to cost £12+?!!! :eek:

Found myself with an unexpected few hours off this afternoon, but I'm not spending that sort of money. I can buy 3-4 secondhand Blu Rays for that, or stream a similar amount of movies.

I can remember being in London in 2008-09 and thinking that it was a great thing that Leicester Square was the only place where you'd spend £xx on a cinema ticket - now it's everywhere!

On a random note, if anyone is looking for cheap prescription glasses/sunglasses, I found this deal on HotUkDeals. I got a nice pair of prescription sunglasses for £23.99 delivered Pleased, as I'd been struggling to find anything under £50.

If you insure something cheap, like a bike, with a premium of about £5 through compare the market, you can claim 2 for 1 movies all year. Of course if you also have to pay a babysitter it may not be worth it for you!

That's what we used to do squirrel, although a one day UK travel insurance policy worked out even cheaper! :money:

Ed, if you are quick, you might find a bottle or two of the Paul Mas Malbec in Morries for £6 this weekend

I managed a policy for £2 last year to get the deal, it has run out now and am waiting until we want to see something before getting another one.
