Newbornbairn Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 4 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: Any time I've used mine it's been quicker than using the oven, largely because it only takes a fraction of the time to warm up. Most things like chicken breasts, chips, frozen fillets, veg etc only take 20 mins tops. 10 mins for a bunch quarter pounders or salmon fillets. Greatest novelty for me is being able to reheat pastry goods without them turning soggy as they would in the microwave. Only downside I can think of is that you have to shake the thing frequently, which I'm admittedly quite bad at remembering to do. Eta: I was very sceptical of them before my other half got one for the house. I use it all the time now and even a modern technophobe who hates kitchen work like myself finds it a piece of cake to use. Cook sausages in the air frier. Honestly, you'll thank me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The one time I saw him was at Edinburgh Castle Esplanade - good gig, but he never said one single word to the audience. He left all that stuff to Georgie Fame to do.My late dad was a big fan of Van Morrison and saw him play live several times, he reckoned he spoke about 20 words to the audience in total between all the gigs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 People who touch television/computer screens. I understand the necessity to occasionally point at something on the telly, but now I have to watch the rest of the film with your dirty great greasy fingerprint distracting me, so I'm afraid that I'll need to be cutting off your hands if you can't point without touching. No offence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Internet shopping, more specifically returning stuff that doesn’t fit. I am trying to get a new winter jacket and some boots and it used to be they’d send you a paid returns label. I have had to send back 2 pairs of boots and a jacket and only the jacket had a paid returns label, so it’s cost me nearly £20 to not buy anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find this infuriating, I remember getting some boots off Sports Direct and had to send them back, did it signed for and it was up around £15. Bought trainers from Brown Bag Clothing and their tag line was that because they give such cheap deals, they couldn't possibly offer free returns. Fwiw, have a look at Parcel2Go when sending stuff back, can save a decent chunk opposed to going to the post office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
