  1. If you are wont to poach your eggs the whites stay together much better if a) they are as fresh as possible and b) are at room temperature when they enter the water. And why you would then want to put chilled brown sauce on them I do not know. Just a wee grind of salt and pepper for me, thank you.
  2. Since posting that it’s been troubling me that, 30 years down the line from me being a horned up student myself, this is still my immediate train of thought.
  3. Rich milfy type with a decent tan - what’s not to love about that when you’re a horned up student? With bonus points as it’s yer pal’s maw.
  4. Think the boy missed a trick. He could’ve offered to share with her.
  5. Which won’t work unless you’ve a PIN number.
  6. If you’re going to denigrate the character of the fine poster known as @Alert Mongoose at least have the stones to @ him. I, for one, find his content most engaging.
  7. Don't think that matters - the credit card bills are your responsibility. You are essentially the one carrying the risk of them not repaying you.
  8. I did debate where to drop my nugget and, maybe mistakenly, thought this thread the most appropriate (least inappropriate?) place for it. Sorry if I've sullied the cricket chat..
  9. I do this with red lights so the car doesn't come to a halt. The lights on the Newbridge roundabout I have completely sussed while coming in at an (official) approach speed of 50mph .
  10. Psst, wanna buy a Lodge? https://www.dmhall.co.uk/properties/for-sale-may-let-lodge-premises-with-development-potential-kilbirnie/
  11. For that sort of pish I’m often tempted to park nose in so my car is perfectly placed but with my passenger door hard against their drivers door forcing them to climb in the passenger side. Kent won’t do it again.
  12. ^^^ this. Is the right answer. I’m not living my life in the expectation of winning some elder’s hard earned gains. I’ll do it my way for myself. I’ve said to mother a-p many times (who frets over what few assets she has) that there are no pockets in a shroud. It’s a neat trick to pull off - and so far one that I have yet to work out - but if you breathe your last on the day your bank account hits its last £1, you’ve won. Meantime, to both lighten the mood and pinch the MO of @SlipperyP, here’s what I’ll be having played at my funeral:
  13. Well played @101 - a disappointing lack of action on this thread (me included) of late. It’ll be my summer mission to contribute meaningfully over the next 6 months or so. You can all thank me later for my selfless sacrifice.
  14. I think that's the nub of the issue. To want Scotland to be a Tory MP free zone (which Yousaf didn't say) is a perfectly fair political statement; but to want Scotland to be free of Tories (which Yousaf did say), to my sensitive sensibilities, crosses a line.
  15. He (sorry, his family) are bigger Tories than the rest of us. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/24189264.humza-yousaf-facing-questions-undeclared-family-rental-properties/
