My wife decided to attempt poaching an egg the other day. The instructions she looked up (bbc good food) started off with "make sure you strain your egg". She had the egg in a sieve. Has anyone ever heard of this tomfoolery before? In 30 years of poaching (on and off, sometimes professionally from five star hotels to brewer's fayres) i've never once heard of this nonsense. What the f**k man. Probably some foodie twat like nigel slater or that wee shoplifting guy making up stuff.
I do it. Crack the egg into a wee sieve above a cup and it lets all the runny white away. Also makes dooking them into the pan much easier. And, once cooked, it gives you a much tidier egg.
Of the entire world of possibilities out there, it seems my speciality is poaching eggs. If any PnBers are looking for any hints or tips, I’m here…

That sounds fairly reasonable, pity i'm a bit further west, could do with someone like that nearby, finding a new garage that are good at what they do and not total rip off merchants is gonna be difficult I think.
Thanks for the replies troops.
Only on the basis of being a Partick fan, have you tried DeutschTek just off Woodlands Road? (admittedly 10/15 years ago now but) when I had an Audi they were great with me although it was only for routine servicing..

It’d take a total bamstick to want the leadership right now. The clever ones will wait, watch it implode and then come with a (fairly easy) rebuild job.

Someone more technically minded than me needs to get Silva’s late dive onto a .gif
Clean through on goal, no one within 5 yards and he goes down looking for a penalty instead of taking the shot. A total fraud.

They’ve paid with relentless economic shock therapy and the complete destruction of any Ukrainian industries by US and European corporations. Even Ukrainian farmland isn’t safe from this:

Zelenskyy has also attempted to ban trade unions, which even the EU thinks is extreme

There’s the rub. Just by dint of geography do you prefer the devil or the deep blue sea? A compromise sometimes just isn’t available.
Capitulate now to a mortal enemy or mortgage the farm with a hope to maybe one day repay the debt?
I know which I’d choose.0 -

Obviously I stand always by my beliefs while at the same time I cannot believe how fellow Scots defend their English masters who gives them the crumbs for the wealth that is stolen from their country.

FFS. It’s taken you a couple of days to digest the news and get here but @SandyCromarty, never change Sandy, never change.

Giving this a bump. We’re thinking of a family holiday in Cornwall this summer. Any suggestions of a good place/area to base ourselves? Also any recommendations of good campsites?
Don’t bother. It’s a 10/12 hr drive away, populated by fake incomers, it’s wildly expensive and you’ll find yourself getting ripped off left right and centre. Lovely scenery though and if you could guarantee the weather, you’d be back every year.
For the same experience (with added Tennents
) just get yourself on the Dunoon ferry and save yourself the drive down the M6.

Came off a 11pm train back to Lenzie about a week ago, and a lassie was walking down the main road in front of me, I was quicker and as I got closer she was trying to speed up.
Felt awkward as fk as I didn't want to weird her oot more than she already was, so i stepped onto the road and loudly said 'excuse me'.

Tell you what, closet Unionist (I suspect, anyway, it would explain much) and screamy Nicola-hater Wings Stu will be thrashing about in an ecstatic onanistic frenzy over this.
Oh no. We’ve got another one…

I have seen this phraseology used regularly but it seems rather clunky and full of subliminal meaning:
“The former first minister emerged from the home near Glasgow she shares with Peter Murrell”
Why isn’t it her home? Their home? The marital home? But it’s described as the ‘home she shares? Surely all spouses share their home with their significant other?

I only skim read it, but was that not a case in English courts, a different legal system from us?
It is but they do take an English precedent as worth following unless we have a serious divergence in legislation. On this I don’t think we do.

In Home Alone, the adults all fly business class while the kids are back in, to use the American term, "coach". They justify this to themselves by saying that flying is an adventure for them anyway and it's not really remarked upon. Clearly, this is by far the least concerning incident of child neglect in that series of films but worth noting anyway.

It's that time of year again when the Tories and St Johnstone fans decide to drive 15 MPH down the bypass in their tractors during rush hours causing traffic chaos.
Not much change from those in their Renaults with the YES stickers on the back travelling through the town at a flat out 20mph tbf.

This is a valid point.
I think every new member should have a probationary period during which they need to read the Gold Forum then sit a test before they can enter the hallowed turf of Piss and Bovril.
@Div make it so.
Need to pass the Theory before you hit the Practical.
