I think Craig Levein tried that with Scotland.

Not too sure about the vinyl fetishist who made the video, but cracking choon.

:lol:

Given your initial confusion, it seemed more important to stress that marsala was a liquid and not a powder, for your saucepan's sake. The nature of the liquid was secondary at that point. Glad you're glad, anyway!

Keep planning to go and see Les Mis then him indoors cries off because he's too tired after work. (Bloody commuters with real jobs, what do they know?) I assume it'll still be in the cinemas for weeks and weeks though.

Aye, same logic with Cisse wasn't it? Tracked him for ages.

"...so when the recipe asks for Iberian jamón, can I just use Korean ramen?"

Really must get myself down to this place. Within 10 minutes' walk and I still haven't gone in nearly seven years of living around here. http://www.italianfoodexpress.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=54

NB. The sauces contained therein aren't "clotted" either.

Not entirely, the word itself just refers to any kind of spice mix in Indian subcontinent cuisine - hence garam masala, chaat masala etc. The use of the term in bastardised recipes like "chicken tikka masala" is a bit of a puzzler though (and, all piss-taking aside, I'm not surprised it confuses some people when it comes to cooking). I suppose it's because the sauce involved is based on a "masala + cream/other ingredients" mix. CT food porn

Bloody hell man.

Aye. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsala_wine CT, for all it refers to just "marsala" rather than "marsala wine", you'll notice that the Marsala Sauce recipe in the Silver Spoon requires that you "pour" the marsala into the dish. Ergo, liquid not powder.

Pasta with croutons, mmm-mmmmmmmm.

Excellent trolling.

They should be. Bradford in Europe!

There's a story behind that. It's a fake, obviously, but the original isn't - and this is the original: Which begs the question: why would you bother changing it for comic effect? I can only assume it turned up on a forum somewhere and the local @yourservice and co. decided to see how they could make it even more bluntly inappropriate to be touring the continent's roads - and the warped version(s) survived while the original got lost in the mists of time. Poor Fückers.

Don't forget the four slices of bread and butter.

It's been moved to Friday, just in case you want to keep an eye on it. Demonstration/march against a local hospital closure on Saturday afternoon, so understandably they can't provide enough police cover for that and a Millwall home game.

Looks like the 15(A) might be your best bet? http://www.stagecoachbus.com/PdfUploads/Timetable_29749_Newcastle%20Bus%20Guide.pdf

Aww. The creepy German personal trainer who stalks my gym has a website advertised on the back of his jacket (...) but it's no longer active. Probably not surprising since it has a German domain ("fitwithalex.de" ) and for some reason he's living and working in bloody Lewisham nowadays, but still, I was hoping to share his eerie Teutonic stare with all of you.

I'm pretty confident we'd vote "in" once the actual arguments were on the table, and if not, well, I've happily lived abroad before. Of course, Cameron himself most likely won't be "in" by then anyway, so it could be something of a moot point... nice way of ensuring the issue stays active and trying to force Labour's hand though.

...and the silver spoon, Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon...

Pours double cream over him. "The wife told me it was shampoo..."
