I am now. Cheers

You'll want to watch out for an "out-of-control" Mackem taxi the next time you cross the road.

Ah Tom, so sorry to hear. You know it was the right thing to do, not that it makes it any easier, but at least you were there to give her some comfort at the end. Get yourself nicely sozzled and have a good cry if you need to - I'll raise a glass in her direction tonight and all.

Can't say it annoys me as such, but their vocal stylings, especially at the start and end, leave no doubt as to how very seriously they're taking the whole thing.

Or just more sober.

Aye, I had some brown rice sushi from M&S the other day, more out of curiosity than anything else. Didn't really work at all.

Anyway, this is turning into the cookery thread. A moderator ought to do something about that.

I'd say wholemeal pasta works pretty well with more "earthy" flavours - goes well with tuna and red pesto and things like that, but I wouldn't rush to use it in a carbonara, say. Brown rice, on the other hand... all kinds of awesome. Fry up an onion, cumin seeds, cardamom pods and a cinnamon stick then add some soaked green lentils and brown rice and simmer them until tender. I could live on that if I had to.

Always have brown rice and wholemeal pasta unless it really doesn't suit the meal. Wholemeal spaghetti is a bit odd but it kind of works.

I'm pretty much immune to cheesy pop. Chris Martin's voice on the chorus of "Yellow", on the other hand...

And if he does have problems then the last place he wants to be is the internet. His family must surely notice how much time he spends pursuing online vendettas and how much it winds him up, you'd think anyway...

They lifted the visa requirement for ticket-holders iirc. Suppose it's different when it affects so many people.

Went to the CMA Songwriters Series acoustic gig in that London last night. Kristian Bush, Bob DiPiero, Brett James and Chris Young. Had to perch on a ledge to see anything, but this is the price you pay for going to the kind of gig where the punters wear cowboy hats. Yee-haw!

Well this is an unexpected turnup...

Couple of years when between relationships. I've never really been one for casual sex (I know, another reason to surrender my Gay Card), although I suppose things might have been different if the likes of Grindr had been around in my free and single days.

That's actually quite arty.

Then that makes sense as part of a wider plan, definitely. It's just that sometimes your focus on the weight side of things (especially at this time of year) can come across a bit like "if I make my target I can eat pies again!" - the long-term trend is far more indicative than what happens from day to day. (And I realise I'm hardly one to talk on that front. ) But aye, an improved diet means further weight loss should come naturally too, if you're sticking to that after this month as well. In which case, my apologies for inadvertently prompting you to buy the Silver Spoon.

As long as you're not confusing "losing weight" with "becoming healthier", then that's fine I guess. A goal's a goal.

Not even sure essembeeofsunderland supports the theory of evolution.

Wey they could start by scanning that fucking article.
