Also try a little splatter of Jack Daniels Barbeque Sauce in there
*taps nose*I was adding chocolate to mine but I now find adding a little bit of sugar (just to offset the bitterness of the tomotoes) and cocoa powder gives a better taste. The difference is marginal like.

I used to be completely against it but not I'm for it, in certain cases, in principle, but I don't think it would work in practice. Even in the United States where it's been around for years you have too many legal appeals etc. which stops it from being enforced. Take the case of Richard Ramires who's been on death row in California since the mid-80s. He's a sick fucker who deserves to die but that's by the by. You only need to look at a case like Abu Hamza recently to see how the only people likely to benefit from a re-introduction of the death penalty are highly paid lawyers. I think sentences for a number of crimes should be a lot more severe in this country though. That would be a start.

In the last few weeks I've heard from two different school friends who've both lost their wives to cancer recently. Another mate from university was just telling me about how his Dad (only in his early 60s) went into hospital with a broken hip and was dead from pnuemonia a couple of weeks later. Puts all that material bollocks into perspective.

Just be careful of 'flies eyes' if you have to squat down in them .
Haven't heard that in a while

Those who don't like that shouldn't join, or have their arguments about it on the feedback thread.
See, bunch of fascists.

I found it a lot easier carving a pumpkin for the bairn than the clart on I used to have when I was little with a snazzy nicked out the farmer's field. Without wishing to go all RobW (PBUH) I don't think I saw a pumpkin in real life until I was about 13.

How about: "After decades of success and being considered one of the top sides in Europe, how does it feel to be mid-table also-rans playing second fiddle to your local rivals?"

It wouldn't be a problem if they both received service from out wide like Shearer and Ferdinand did.
Aye, true enough. It was more that they both get in each others way at times the way Shearer and Ferdinand did. We were still (very) effective with Shearer and Ferdinand playing though. The football wasn't quite as good though. I suppose that's being picky but at the time we thought we could afford to be. Anyway, Mick Quinn reckons Cisse and Ba can play together so it must be true.
-
The problem is that they're both out and out no.9's. Neither are particularly suited to the dropping off creative forward role.
Aye, they both make very similar runs etc. Not that they're the same types of no. 9 as them but it's similar to the situation when Shearer and Ferdinand played together.

On the whole I'm pretty happy like. Not that life is perfect or owt but I know I'm lucky in loads of ways and I'm equally lucky in that, for the most part, I appreciate that.

Ant, I now hate Owen as much as I hate Martins so at least we've come a bit closer together on this issue.

You can call me Tex from next Saturday for three whole weeks, as literally that's where I'll be. Nee firearms permitted at work though big signs all owa the place.
Ok, Tex.

In fairness, Arsenal have shown a lack of ambition over the last few years. They shouldn't be satisfied with CL qualification, challenging for the title is where they should be.
That post sums you up tbh. -
I used to find that in the bairns nappy.
That's what it reminds me of

5 Bellies is a barman in the Travs .
I heard that. In fact someone told me he was the manager. It could be he's working there and just told them he's the manager like. I haven't been in the Travs for years. Is it still fucking shite?

Might give them a go cos was gonna have a blast at home made pizzas, but i'm always up for effort avoidance if it tastes decent.
I've done my own homemade ones before and I honestly wouldn't bother after trying these. Homemade ones are nice but they're a faff and then it's hard to stretch the dough enough to get them thin enough. With these kits you get enough for two pizzas (oblong ones, the size of a baking tray) and the sauce comes with it. I'm not normally one for shop bought pasta sauce type things either but this is spot on, so you don't even need to make that. You then just out your own topping on. Sorry if I'm teaching Grandma how to suck eggs here but just make sure you don't put too much topping on and slice your topping really thin. They cost about £2.50 and they're nicer than any 'fresh' ones I've bought in a supermarket before.

Those Just Roll pizza kits are spot on btw. You need baking parchment / greaseproof paper though. Lovely thin crust.

Might've known Tex would ride into town to defend his beloved septics.

The 45, that brings back memories.
