Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

I was going to say where is everyone, and then I realised that, despite it having been dark for ages, it's still only 10 to six, and people are probably still on their way home! :rotfl:
Silly me! :rotfl:


When it gets dark, I think it's bedtime, which is a bit awkward in December when it's dark at 4pm! :rotfl:

I'm the same, it feels like 8-9pm!

I was looking at the differences in daylight lengths between the North of Scotland and the South of England, and there is nearly an hour and a half difference in daylight length between Inverness and Truro on 21December..
(6 hrs 35 mins in Inverness, and 8 hrs 01 min in Truro).

Soup strangely delicious.
No idea how that happened.

I expected to wait until it was nearly done, then taste it and chuck something else in to change it. No need though.

Leaving it for another hour or so, on low ... while I ponder the idea of using the stick blender ... or not

You can do it, Pastures! We're here, looking over your shoulder!

Go for it! :j :j

In England too. I've been silently sniggering every time I heard/saw his name

Always have.

Piers Morgan pondered yesterday morning whether people who were just keeping quiet about voting for Trump would win it for him. He called them the 'silent trumps'.

It's been making me smile since.

Don't quote, will delete
This year I've already said I won't be going

If you like going, go. If you do not want to go, stick to what you've already said.

I am puzzled as to why you feel obliged to give a present to someone who never gives one to you. Why is that, do you think? What would happen if you didn't give them something?

Will delete if requested.

Pastures, well done for going for it! :T

Re. cleaning it, if it's like mine, it doesn't come apart.

What I do is........I use some clean warm water in a bowl and get the blender going in the warm water, as if the water were the soup.

That should get rid of most of the debris from the blender.

If there is any debris still on it, I unplug it and use a dish brush to rub around the blades. Then re-plug it and give it another whirr in some warm water.

It's best done straight after using, so that the soup doesn't have time to dry onto the blades.

Rub plastic that has taken on food colour with oil to clean it.#

Today was a long day as trains were still broken from last night (apparently if you run 800v traction power through the signalling cable due to a short the signalling system is not improved) however compared to the Croydon tram I can't complain.

Is it worth adding a stock cube and thinning it a bit in order to make more?

If it's any consolation, I am delegated to use the stick blender in our house, and I find it awfully easy to make a mess. It's less trouble than using the liquidiser, because there's less to clean, but there's not a lot in it by the time I've cleaned the worktop, the wall, and me, as well as the stick blender.
