    I believe it still is, but you need to get the right number of people pressing the SPAM button for it to boot them off.

    Maybe we need an extra person because you thanked them ;) :rotfl:

    GDB: if you can wait a few days I can compare a couple of online FX brokers with the rate in Bloomberg.

    D4mn, did I? I'm usually careful to not do that. Can we put it down to dementia being catching over the phone??

    They appear to have disappeared now anyway.

    Yes, you did (easy mistake).

    There must be a threshold for deletion. Perhaps Gen tipped us over. Or people from other threads - as you did, before I posted I looked at their other posts...

    My tea tonight was a 10 day out-of-date fish pie + (some out-of-date spinach + some very out-of-date but looked fine green beans with garlic and chilli). If you don't see me tomorrow, washed down with some out-of-date cava. If you don't see me tomorrow you'll have some ideas why :) It tasted good though :D

    Not many nutrients in there PN. Fat, refined carbohydrates (assume you used white flour) plus salt.

    A few veggies wouldn't be a bad idea IMHO. Eat what you like, obviously, but if you did a few peas and a chopped carrot with that'd have nutritional content. As it is, dinner is about the same as crisps only with more saturated fat.

    White SR flour and suet, no salt.... except what was in one Oxo cube (vegetable). I did open the freezer and grab the peas bag, then thought "no". Then opened the fridge in case I was missing anything and saw the carrots and thought "CBA". Then opened the cupboard and saw a tin of peas and a tin of carrots and thought "Nah".

    I was originally going to make a bit of a savoury gravy for the dumpies to be cooked in - but when I read the tomato paste squeezy tube it said once opened eat within 2 weeks and I only wanted a teaspoon, so put it back in the cupboard and just thought "s0d it, dumpies/Oxo"

    The salt comes from the Oxo cube.

    I don't have much salt. I don't ever add it.

    Stock cubes are pretty salty though. Thats one of the reasons they last so long.

    Apart from the OXO cubes I bough in error fairly recently, which I discovered were mouldy. I'll stick to a better brand from now on ;)

    I make my own. Generally more practical when you have a family to feed though although I made my own when single too but I enjoy cooking.

    There might be some pre-prep that I might tenously consider 'making my own'. I've made my own stock before, usually I CBA though :o


    Edit: or am not cooking anything which would generate stock
