That's absolutely true, it was not used for cooking by Brits, it was used for blocked ears, if I remember correctly. One thing that has improved my curries lately is fennel seeds, a great ingredient. Not an ingredient as such, but a sauce making method of sugar based sauces. Heat sugar in a...

I don't know if it's apocryphal but I was always told it was in the Guiness book of records as having the highest number of pubs per head in the country. If that was true, it was in the 70s and we have lost quite a few since, so I doubt we can say that any more. Most pubs, like everywhere else...

Although we still have plenty, we don't have as many pubs as we used to, but I guess most places can say that. The Duke is the nearest to a traditional pub that you'll find here, I would think, plenty of drinking choice. I like the Sovereign, but it doesn't seem to be too sure if it's a pub or a...

Slight irony they back safe standing when they haven't got any seats.

Finished with football for a bit, thank goodness for that. Now for some great Golf, Tennis and Cricket. Football means "winter" to me, so I don't want to think about it for a bit.

Well, I guess it would pay for some of my professional time, but you'd only get a morning out of me for that much. Oh, and I don't get out of bed before 10 .... and I quite like to have lunch early.

He has no obligation other than to do what's best for United - they are his employers, and if he wants to rest players it's up to him. He has a squad for that reason.

"fireman rescues cat from tree in hailsham" Arsegas raqther missing the point as usual !

They just wouldn't be up to Premier level IMO, we'll need more than that

I find Dianne Abbot to be one of the worst MPs to be interviewed, she just comes out with the stock "say nothing" answers and doesn't answer the questions. Dreadful to watch and pretty typical of the current Labourists. How she would be as Home Secretary is beyond me.

I really don't care, I'm fully confident we'll win tomorrow anyway.

Was easy in the end - I knew it would be. Attached battery charger and the alarm went off, then put the remote key in the ignition and hey-presto the alarm is silenced. Battery is now charging - I hope it's not knack'd, we'll see. Serves me right for being in hospital !

Ooh, I do like the Spotted Cow - great for lunch, and nice to eat in the garden when it's warm. 100 yards from my parents last house.

Ok, as NSC has the answer to everything, I have a silly car issue. I was in hospital for a while and while I was in, my car battery went flat - not enough charge to open the doors with the remote key. I can unlock the doors with the manual key and open the bonnet. When I connect the battery...

They never really bought into the concept, might have been interesting though

Without the benefit of hindsight, what were your hopes and expectations for the season ? I thought, after the disappointments of last season that we'd be top half, maybe pushing for the play-offs, I never foresaw what has transpired.

I seem to remember Heston tried to do a menu makeover that they decided not to take up, so I guess they're still serving the same fried stuff

I don't expect us to win at all. I see a 3-0 loss, but it matters not a jot.

Did have a dabble a few years ago, but was complicated a little by Nan having 18 brothers and sisters. Relatives spread hither and thither.

I watched series 1 and it was really very good, top acting from Tennant and Coleman. I started watching series 2 but stopped ... it was so fecking dour and depressing, I felt I could do without it.
