Can you not call in for a chaat, try to curry favour? Coat…

Fuck me Renton! Glad your old man made it, those twelve hours must've seemed like an eternity. It's amazing how in situations like that , we can find the ability to remain strong and not just collapse in a heap. You find things out about yourself and those you love which can alter your entire approach to life.

Nine minutes silence?

Boil some water in your wok, cook the noodles for 3-4 minutes. Plunge them into cold water to stop them cooking further, then rinse and drain. Stir through a splash of sesame oil. 4. Heat the wok, add about a tbsp oil and let it get smoking, then add the chicken and stir fry for about 2 mins. Remove and keep 5. Heat the wok again , stir fry the king prawns and veg ( except spring onions) for 2-3 minutes, adding the garlic and ginger halfway through. 6.

Unclean! Unclean! Hit it with sticks!

Banned. Innit?

had a busy weekend, been to the match etc etc etc Keep it coming Old Chap. If you "sound out" difficult words when you come across them, it often helps. Unless its an audio book.

Just echoing the best wishes of everyone else here Stevie. There's nowt worse than seeing your parents incapacitated. My Old Dear was in last week for an op and it's knocked her for six. Nowt like what your Dad is going through. I think it hits men particularly hard when you see your father ill, the Superman of your childhood and that. Chin up mate.

If you took out the American place names and such and substituted them for ones in Iran, for example, it wouldn't make any noticeable difference, an irony which is lost on the Amerkin Right.

If he does end up being charged for calling a white bloke a black c*nt, that's a contender for the Darwins.

If you follow a load of people a lot will follow back. I don't see the point mind, I only follow people who I want to follow. Ah right. Btw, Stevie the grass

I see your point Gemmill, but I have little sympathy for Wynn tbh. The stuff he said to Routledge was pretty fucking foul. If he gets done over it, regardless of who makes the complaint, tough.

I bet I know one of the "several", eh Stevie

Seriously? Over the Routledge abuse I take it?

Rugby and rowing? Did you play the Eton wall game as well? Tom did the BUGA award scheme.

We at chapter 10 yet?

Thought you might listen on tinterweb. I ask because as you posted that, the song was just finishing on the radio. Synchronicity. Which reminds me, the Police must have some ropey lyrics to their name.

Did you just hear that on Radio 2?

Leazes couldn't care about the cost of a loaf- one of his other intolerances is gluten.

I thought it was to bring Newcastle United fans back home.

Really enjoying this season, against all expectations. The elephant in the room though , is Ashley - no one knows wtf his plans are. I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts, but nothing more.
