[QUOTE 5244038, member: 21629"]I always eat sandwiches at work for lunch.

Took chicken and rice for today. Already been on a train to work when remembered that fork or spoon are left at home.

So I ate my lunch using Swiss knife blades (the model I own hasn't got a fork or spoon installed).

Nobody dared to ask me why I don't use a fork. Shy people.[/QUOTE]
You should have used your Swiss Army Knife to carve a cutlery set out of an old pallet....

Lemon marmalade of course, but also preserved lemons, lemon drizzle cake, lemon curd, candied peel...

A swimming-pool sized Gin and Tonic?

Watch out for old men in flat caps riding bathtubs down hill. They seem to think that's amusing, I saw a documentary about it once.

Didn’t one of them end-up leading the LibDems into coalition?

Behold, how the lone egg floats upon a sea of baked-beans atop a raft of griddled Spam....

@Salty seadog how was the chicken wrapped in Pancetta eh?

I like spooden woons.

I'm very fond of wooden spoons, especially for eating porridge. The bears got it right.

Wooden spoons are rubbish, especially when you are trying to warm your heroin.

 

[StuAff]

I've been awarded a few wooden spoons in my time...

Wooden spoons are rubbish, especially when you are trying to warm your heroin.

I carved one out of sycamore when I was fifteen. My Mum burned it, but I don't think she had a heroin habit. Hey! What would I know?

Lemon marmalade of course, but also preserved lemons, lemon drizzle cake, lemon curd, candied peel...

never been a fan of marmalade but then I don't like peel or oranges.... (Unless they are straight off the tree...)... preserved lemons I have yet to fathom out what you use them for, lemon drizzle cake is an option, its easily dairy free.... lemon curd is harder to make a nice dairy free option with and candied peel should be banned.

I'm teetotal mate, that's not an option here

same here...

I believe that my NHS account was well overdrawn as well... hence leaving the country. problem is that I think I am now overdrawn here as well... got a full spine MRI scan later today (issues with more discs failing) and have been told because of the scaffolding in my spine already I can't eat for 4 hours before the scan. So elevenses has just been eaten. It's 8:45am (or was at when I started)...
