Hm. I have to agree. I never liked emails from Nigeria either. Too much hope they give out for a scam (or is it spam we call it? I don't know).



I do like munching on a real Kebab though.
(although it's just a memory now)

Kebabs are only a fiver, my friend. Most people can buy and eat them.

Well, unless you were writing Harold Robbins as Delia Smith, which you were.


Davyboy, nice one. But, I'd like to know what that is near the fish finger. Is it a deep fried human ear, if not a chewy squid or something like that?

I'm talking the second picture you posted.

Cooking roasts is a job for the man of the house, who do you think cooked mine? I'm disapointed in Micky I took the picture originally and sent it to my sister in law, just to wind her up.

**** that. Peeled, cut in half, par boiled until they are just soft on the outside then bashed about in the saucepan to help them "fluff". Then sprinkle sea salt over them and put them in a pan of heated oil (spitting hot). Every 10 minutes or so drip the fat coming from the chicken/turkey over the spuds to roast them.

Top of the oven is best also

Can't see the microwave technicians, who are trying to put food on the table and get the customers back out of the door as soon as possible, going to those lengths.

Personally, I like to roast spuds in goose fat.

The potatoes I was talking about weren't from cheap pingettypong food place. Its a good place for the Downtown Abbey types.

That's a well-known traditional way of roasting potatoes.

I only cook them in the Tesco's the very Finest goose fat <smug>. I can posh-boast on internet that every time I roast potatoes, I kill a goose to get fresh fat off it. But that would be a bit too far-fetched.

Correct.

I also think so, but it depends if someone is unhealthily obsessed with taking and posting food pics. It's ok in moderation.

Correct. It's here>http://www.neowin.net/news/not-using...-mass-murderer

From the article......


Norwegian shooter Anders Breivik used MySpace instead and the alleged Aurora shooter, James Holmes, was on neither site. These two individuals are used as examples that not being connected online is a data point that could predict violent crimes. In a study conducted last year by Richard E. Bélanger, not partaking in social media was linked to mental illnesses like depression.
The article goes on saying....

Of course, it’s silly to say that everyone not on the world’s largest social media site is crazy. Just don’t be surprised if people think you’re hiding something if you don’t share your life with the world.

There's a plenty of talk going on about the Internet addiction disorder (IAD) as well. DSM-5 is going to be revolutionary.

Ain't that the truth!

I always think social media is the ultimate oxymoron. Its for people to continually brag/moan/post about how interesting and exciting their life is. Surely if you were someone that led a *truly* interesting life you wouldn't be sat in front of a friggin' PC for hours on end

Neither do I.
