It's a habit he's grown into recently.

That is quite a large knife. Going to be inundated with the stuff now!

The trick is to 'par-boil' em then stick em in the oven on 'full-chat' for 15-20 mins so they caramelise a bit, or get em on the 'barbie'

Bit of Butter and 'salt to taste'

It's raining again.

I have bought myself a new pair of running shoes, hopefully this will give me the incentive to get off my lazy backside and start running again. Won't be this week as someone has kindly passed on their cold

The only thing running will be your nose.

Running nose! It's a start, the rest of you can catch up later.

Nope.
Too rough and too much seaweed

BUT, after 20 years I can still beach cast a reasonable distance with a multiplier reel (without tangles), so as a test run, quite pleased. :-)

Is a trip to Norfolk in order, great beach fishing off Stiffkey (pronounced 'Stewkey') beach mudflats

[QUOTE 4954030, member: 21629"]My knowledge about wines are below the lowest zero.
Taste is also very personal thing.
But I definitely won't buy this wine anymore.

I like sweet red wines but wines clasification in UK is totally different from my country. And I cannot find Kagor (red wine, very popular in LT) anywhere.
Choosing cider is much easier: cheap = expensive = [/QUOTE]
Bulgarian Merlot,

Aaaarrrrrgggggggh! I'm sitting outside a bar, surrounded by an Aussie tour group. I can feel my IQ dropping.

Nah, you're just turning back into a 'Bimbo'


































Or a tart!

Jotul woodburning stoves....WTF! If you open the vent a millimetre too far to the right, it flares up. A millimetre too far the other way, the fire goes out. It's a harsh mistress.

You mean a 1/32!

Hang on. Brexit hasn't happened yet.

I have very sad news about Tasha. Her condition deteriorated yesterday, and she went to the Vet today as planned. It was a very hard decision to make, but it was decided not to put her through more pain and intense discomfort. The swelling on one side of her face was very large, and the eye was in a very bad state. Removing the eye would have just delayed the inevitable. She will be cremated, and I will collect the ashes sometime next week.

I do not know how he knows, but Bob has been asleep all day, and does not want to be disturbed, which is just how I feel.

Aah poor Tasha,

I've been getting that recently too, wakes me up in the early hours sometimes.

Worse if I have spicy food or eat late at night.

Only just noticed I should not be taking any indigestion medicine as I'm on Naproxen, whoops.

Me too after half a dozen pints and a Vindaloo/Kebab (with Chilli sauce and everything)

Started on that but it became ineffective. Now got omeprazole. My doc said there are lots of azoles to use if necessary. I have a dodgy sphincter (gastric before anypotsy pipes up) and have dreadful reflux even without eating or drinking. No fun

I tend to sleep 'propped up' as I find that helps.
