Should i just spend the £5 a month on Mackeeper to sort the problem out or is there a free option i can find for this? Think that AVG free edition might sort you out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, I have installed this and its doing a scan now. Its just shitty spamming websites keep opening up fresh windows all the time just now. I have a pop up blocker on and its not helping. Hopefully once its scanned I can get rid of some of the junk without having to pay fucking apple for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 When do hedgehogs go into hibernation? Had one in the garden last night feasting on a pile of Smudger vomit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Might get my brother a cookbook for Christmas. Would anyone here recommend a recipe/cookbook for a beginner chef? He made me pasta with grated cheese years ago when we were both younger, and I don' think he's ever cooked anything else since then apart from Pot Noodles and burnt toast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 30 minute meals one came under a bit of scrutiny as they take far more than 30 minutes to make and have a shit load of ingredients, some of them aren't exactly the most common of ingredients either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy when you dont have to rake the fridge for shit and cowp all the pots and pans over the floor looking the right b*****ding lid I think there was a Watchdog special on it as well as other chefs who had so called quick meals and it took experienced chefs 45 minutes - 1 hour to make a lot of the meals. I don't particularly like Jamie Oliver but the 5 ingredients book is pretty decent, you need basics in the kitchen such as red wine vinegar and olive oil and a few other things but the meals are pretty much as simple as they can be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure wee Jimmy Forrest doesn’t hate scarves either, just doesn’t want one. Nah, it could be good. Hopefully show him that with a wee bit effort it can have a big result. I fair enjoy cooking, I detest cooking books though. I’ll look up a recipe online (which I could do in a book, I know) for an idea then just wing it and see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A couple of years ago I was conned into an introductory offer for Boxfresh where they deliver every ingredient in its basic state. Never again!! Mrs Boo would come home and every pot was being used and I was a stressed out gibbering mess.....grrrr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 In the unlikely event that I'm appointed Pope, I'd have to choose a name. Why don't they just choose their own name? Pope Cardinal Richelieu (not really my name) has quite a nice ring to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Cardinal Richelieu (not really my name) has quite a nice ring to it. As Cardinal one goes by one’s surname but popes go by their first name so you’d be Pope Armand A cardinal who’s first name was Mercure who became pope and thought that being named after a pagan god might be a little awkward established the tradition of choosing a new name. At least that’s how I remember it If Freddie Mercury has ever been a cardinal he’d have faced a similar problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
