Been doing loads of soups recently. Local market at closing time = tons o' veg for not much money at all. Cook up, blend, cool, shove into some tupperware - magic.

I like to think I can do plenty of stuff fairly well, but nothing particularly out of the ordinary - just your standard Indian/Chinese/Thai/Italian/Sunday lunch etc. variants - so if it was all back to mine and I wanted to offer you lot something different (if unspectacular) then I'd probably roll out a Swedish dinner of some description. Home-made meatballs () in a creamy brown sauce ( :razz:) with lingonberry jam on the side, potato and anchovy bake, various fish concoctions, that kind of thing. Mightn't be much but it's the nearest thing I have to heritage, short of rustling up a ham and pease pudding sarnie of course.

Naah, I'd have been too busy posting oblique references to bumming in threads about Big Brother or office furniture or something.

Oo, I see what you've done there, sending up the Celtic fans by making the same kind of misguided point in your next paragraph. Clever humour, that.

It sounds nice. I've made similar things before. This isn't some tuna melt-obsessed lardboy you're trying to impress here.

Still, it'd save on the communal food bills.

I was actually hoping they'd admit that ITV talent scouts kidnapped her and everything.

Good on him. Is he completely untrained? I missed the "story". Either way, seems a decent bloke.

It's obviously going to be Madeleine, I mean, Connie.

Not quite in keeping with the original thrust of the thread, but that Beefy & Lamby advert that's running at the minute really does make it look like the cartoon Ian Botham is bumming the cartoon Allan Lamb. Maybe it's a privilege of his knighthood or something...

I don't think I "got" that film, perhaps I hadn't consumed enough drugs at the time. It's one of those films that falls into the "bought it for £2.99 in an HMV sale because Everyone Should Have Seen It and have left it to gather dust on the shelf ever since" category for me. See also "The Straight Story", "Withnail & I" etc.

Points docked for the "Eye", but otherwise a good effort.

Used to muck in at Oxfam during school/uni holidays when my mum worked there. Sat at the till and pressed buttons. The old dears loved me. Never done any really full-on stuff though. When he's not being a student, my better half does admin for his uni's voluntary services unit, so he helps to arrange voluntary work. Am I allowed to bask in the reflected glory of that one?

Thought it was OK myself. Slightly over-zealous on the stewarding side, but where isn't these days?

I worked nights quite a lot when I was freelancing, either because I wanted to or because I'd been lazy all day, and I could happily do so again. I'd miss the days though. </wistful>

Good work mate.

Yep lying here naked covered in shot glasses Count me in then.

A noble sacrifice.

Drinks are on you then.

Nerd but true.

I'm not sure, most of the 'lower-classes' are either emaciated or very toned. I'd be willing to bet it's the middle-classes who are fatter. Balls. I'll take you up on that bet. Would you describe yourself as middle-class? Bastard. You know I like you really. I've never even seen you to judge your weight, anyway. What are you on about man, that's the best kind of judgement!

hoi....climb down off that big high horse MR.....and yes I do occasionally say "hoose", depending on who I am talking to I tailor my language accordingly We can only imagine Radgi's phone conversations to her like-minded Felling linguists Imagine what it must be like after a bucket of Jack!!!! I'm confused....I'm a Geordie, sometimes we say "hoose" if we are using our "broad Geordie accents" sometimes I say house, sometimes I say "abode" sometimes I say...ahhh what the hell, doesn't matter (and it's nothing to do with being from the "Felling" !!) You live on a canal?
