Not a good day with the pie filling. Bunged it in the slow cooker, then ten minutes later realised same wasn't plugged in. An hour later, after going for a walk, the slow cooker was still cold and the switch on the socket was off. A bit more salt added and up to temperature now.

I made it til lunch then had to throw in the towel, booked the rest of the week off and can now get myself well

Got to the car and had a proper coughing fit, had to wait a few minutes for it to settle down before I could set off.

I would show sympathy, but I'm aware how sarky you were about my manflu, so just suck it up

I put some bread in the oven and forgot all about it... lets just say that it seems to have quite a firm caramel coloured crust on it

[QUOTE 4594895, member: 21629"]Bought some really warm winter gloves for cycling. They're size 9. I normally wear children gloves as my hands are very small ...

Big gloves keep your hands much warmer than tight ones if you 'cinch' the wrist cuff (they trap more air)

[QUOTE 4594946, member: 21629"]I know. That's why my winter gloves are few sizes bigger.[/QUOTE]
I bet the double up as bed socks too.

I'd go for the Williams & Humbert 12 Year Old Oloroso and/or the Fernando de Castilla Antique Amontillado, both of which are available at Waitrose.

Thank you

Energy Companies are cheeky bleeders.

When I got out of hospital last year, I'd updated my on-line dual fuel account and found we'd used a horrendous amount of electricity during that 6 weeks (bet they were all partying) - which was most likely dryer being on constantly and the electric heating left on in the conservatory, as my wife was running around visiting me. Anyway, upped the Direct debit quite a lot. Anyway, check to see how the account is now and updated all the readings, and we are £350 in credit. The calculator says if we carry on the same, then we'll be over £1000 in credit next year. So, go to adjust the direct debit, and it will only knock a few pounds off the monthly amount...

So, requested a partial refund, and the monthly amount has come down much more ! So I get my cash back and I'm not overpaying.

For some reason our 'dual fuel' supplier decided to fit a new Gas Meter in the box outside the house, in 8 months it didn't move (it still said 000000.00) so we told them about it and they said "oh we'll just estimate your usage". After checking with 'Citizens Advice' we declined their kind offer and had a £400 rebate of the direct debit they'd had from us, it paid for a nice holiday.

'Muslims Like Us' BBC 2 @ 9.00 pm. I can recommend it.

I'm still recovering after watching yesterday's recommendation on here, Paddington

Was it about kebab eating Zombie train drivers?

Sadly not.
