that's an interesting potato... still, better than the one I dug up last year... wish I'd kept a photo, it was massive, or more accurately, with the soil on it looked massive, it was pitted all over so by the time I'd washed the mud off, it looked more like a star than a potato... next to no flesh o...

I was just reading your post on potato art lol

I get visitors who won't drink coffee at my home because it isn't instant, Haha, I get the same instant is ok, but nothing special. Although, the flavoured instant is quite good if nothing better is available And just to illustrate what an obsessive I am I have bought green beans and roasted my own...

mmmm, coffee I think I drink too much of the stuff... I have a costa card, and get a free coffee about once a fortnight from the points I save up... so at 5 points a pound spent, that's about 25 coffees a fortnight... ok... i may be slightly addicted...

Thanks everyone, been stuck in bed with a migrain all day, this is the first time I've been able to look at a computer screen all day, so I really needed chearing up. Having read all this thread, I'm a lot happier thank you for the laughter this truly is the best little corner of the interwebs

Wow, how did a rant about vergin media go through jahovas witnesses and up on politics and voting? I love this forum

Guess your's are a bit more hardened than the ones rou...

haha JW are fun. Last time they came to the door I told them I was more than willing to chat about Jesus, but I'd need them to help me with the garden... I genuinely had 2 guys in JW uniform (is it a uniform or do they all just really like deep blue suits?) pulling weeds and helping me dig the garde...

And when that didnt work, they lied to the police almost getting me in big trouble. but th...

Ok, this one is laughable. This is 100% real, and at the time I was really offended, but now I'm laughing So, I'm in one evening, having problems feeding my little girl tea, and trying to prep lunch for the next day for my wife (who works as a teacher), when there's a knock at the door. I a guy tryi...

I can negotiate the entirety of the London underground, and the whole of Sheffield with ease though, so I guess I can pass on this one... 7. I dont have a tweed suit but i want one 18. 2...

They could be spoof emails, they appear to come from A but actually come from b. So True, I actually wrote a computer program to do just that last year, so I could send "business" emails to my customers (At the time, I was doing freelance nutritional analysis and dietary advice) But yes, ...

who are the emails from? There may be a way to get someone to contact them on your behalf. I used to do some work for a company that did such things. Drop me a PM if you want help, I'll then send you an email address to forward the email to for me to have a look at
