Some random bloke who writes a blog about all you can eat breakfasts says that tinned ones are the correct type of tomatoes for a full English.

I've never liked/fancied halved tomatoes fried. I've eaten a few, over the years, just because it's all that was available, but I can "pass" on them entirely.

.

Grilled tomatoes are the way to go, FTW!:D

With DG slating Birmingham (City I was born in, and lived in until aged 4, and Pastures writing off my adult life as someone who shops in JL...I am feeling a tad worthless).

However if anyone wants a friend from a cultural wasteland with shiny hair...you know where to find me.

I'm friendly, as well as bringing culture to the wasteland!

Ketchup at breakfast really upsets me. I can understand with sausage ( just) and bacon, might even do it myself occasionally. Catsup and egg / omlette around a family only table / flat shares is something that I would excuse my self from the table from. Its the strongest part of my weird ness of tomato/ egg. Red/yellow dislike.:o

That's just weird!

I never face a cooked breakfast. So that is one problem solved.

The only breakfast I would eat is a coked breakfast.
Usually I don't eat breakfast.
When working, I tend to survive on tea til about 2. I only usually have breakfasts when on holiday.

What is an RSL?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSL - sigh, still none the wiser

Usually (ime) it is a Registered Social Landlord. Or a Housing Association.

Weather forecast is for October so perhaps you should even add a sweater. I have no desire for food in the mornign then feel starvign between 10 and 11. Getting old I find a large lunch sends out such a strong 'now it is time to sle.....' signal that I really shouldn't.

I'm fine if I don't eat. If I do have breakfast, I'm famished by 12.

I've spent most of my life not having breakfast.... but I do like a cooked brekky if it's feasible/available.

Never had breakfast as a child, none of us did in the house. I'd not want to get up and spend the time doing it if I were working - once I'm up I like to be out of the house, viewing every passing minute as an extra 2 minutes on my arrival at work due to increased traffic with every passing minute.

If I eat a breakfast then it can go either way ... I'm either fine until tea-time.... or, once started eating, I can't stop.

This is a message for Gen. I know you've been feeling tired lately. I've just seen a very inspirational German female athlete win gold in the steeplechase after battling lymphatic cancer, Antje Moldner-!!!!!!!. Amazing run. I have every faith that you'll get your Ventoux strength back.

Cheers viva. As each day goes past I feel a little stronger.

Can any of the legal NP please answer a question for me?

I'm kinda thinking that the cost of getting something drawn up to meet the conditions you want is going to end up costing more than the total value.
In short, other party was wronged. They've incurred a cost (which in reality, until they get the work done, they haven't actually experienced). You've agreed liability & have evidence of the estimate.
You could either:
a) pay up front to the 3rd party, or
b) request the repairer invoices you directly on completion of the work.

There's likely other bits that may affect your decision making, but I can appreciate this is a public area.

As long as you have a paper trail, showing the payment has been made, that should be sufficient, ie paying them by cheque or similar if they tried claiming extra in future (ie through the insurers etc).
I suppose the only other thing is that if I were the other party & felt you were playing too much hardball, I'd think sod it & go through the insurers anyway.

I must admit a few years ago our car was hit when parked by an aupair who left her details, we got 2 quotes and they agreed to pay a cheque for the lower without worrying if the work was done and I got a new headlight from a scrappy and left the dent - it was a 10 year old car so total cost was about 50 quid rather than the 250 we had a cheque for. I don't think we did a lot in writing either way but then I guess it wasn't very expensive and perhaps I look fairly reputable...

...until now. *mental note, watch that michaels geezer...*;)
