Could you give us all a short precis of the main points that you feel are compelling?

An interesting, and very uncomplimentary article about how VAR has been implemented in the Bundesliga. https://deadspin.com/german-soccer-officials-are-realizing-that-video-replay-1820273171 [Warning: headline contains the F word in case you are opening it in front of a visiting nun]

Thanks. Maybe high carbon is not what I mean - it is what I had been led to believe the metal was called. It is the old style knife - as in the picture - that is not stainless, discolours easily and can rust a little if not dried after washing. It is very easy to sharpen to a very fine edge (and...

Thanks. I really wanted one of the old-fashioned type that discolour and rust a bit rather than a stainless one, but that is a great option.

Probably not, the blade is bent as well so will be very difficult to get it true again.

Another random challenge for the great and the good of NSC... Just before Christmas I dropped my wife's favourite knife and broke the tip off the blade so I am (desperately) looking for an vintage, hi-carbon chef's knife, 6-7 inch blade, preferably with a rivetted wooden handle similar to this...

Agreed. But I think even Man City would struggle with only seven players.

We don't need to score any more goals at all as long as we don't let any in. 16 0-0 draws will see us to 39 points and safety.

You do know that Darth Vader is a fictional character? If someone who claimed to be Darth Vader invited you for a sleep over, you should probabky be checking that the Imperial forces haven't breached your defences.

Frying properly takes more than half an hour, hardly a short-cut. Oven-cooking dries the sausage out. A carefully fried sausage has [I]way[I] more flavour than an oven cooked one.

The correct answer is to fry very slowly - at least half an hour for a normal sausage. Do NOT prick beforehand. Only use very good quality sausages. This way the outside of the sausage picks up beautiful caramelised bits and the inside remains moist.

Broken collar bones? Luxury! Our PE teacher - Chippy McPherson - used to clear the playground with a flamethrower that he had stolen at the end of the war. Sure a few boys were burnt to a crisp but that didn't stop them returning to school the next day.

If your only criterion for judging that meat is properly cooked is that it is piping hot, I can see why you would have no need for a thermometer...:smile:

All well and good but different shaped joints need different cooking times - long and thin cooks more quickly than short and fat even if the weight is the same; if you are cooking meat on the bone it cooks differently to meat off the bone, and the size and shape of any bones will also affect...

Surprised this hasn't made the list yet:

What do you think the club should have done?

You seem obsessed by the fact that the police and/or the stewards didn't go into the south stand and remove the supporters with the bangers and flares. Do you think it is possible that the police and/or stewards felt that this would very likely result in fighting in the stand - possibly...

Be careful what you wish for...

And Liverpool would have to charge about £500/seat to generate £500 million from seat sales alone - also utterly ludicrous.

Not sure where you are getting your GDP figures from but they are not even close to being correct. Are you getting your millions and billions mixed up?
