  1. Cheers. I had an idea that fritters could be made with spam. What else do you put in the mix? Onions, tatoes?
  2. SPAM. Stir fried with a variety of vegetables. Actually quite tasty. It's the only way I've found to make it palatable. She keeps buying it occasionally for some reason. (I've even tried telling her what's likely to be in there, and not in there. To no avail.) Any ideas as to what else to do with the stuff?
  3. Epic Christmas trip for you mate, but glad it wasn't so much worse. I hope it goes smoothly. I think you deserve a good dose of this to go with your Guinness:- Merry Christmas!
  4. I bought a pair of these recently. They seem to be decent. voltXsafety.com - Ultimate Bifocal Safety Glasses WWW.VOLTXSAFETY.COM Ultimate Bifocal Safety Glasses
  5. Fair play to ya.
  6. Yeah, I do believe you're right. The pinkish wood suggests that as well. I'll revise my original opinion. Good firewood it that's what it is.
  7. It doesn't look like Honey Locust to me. I'd go with Willow, or Lime maybe.
  8. Why we're suing Michelle Mone - The New European WWW.THENEWEUROPEAN.CO.UK This newspaper has instructed solicitors and Counsel and expects to begin the case against Mone early in the New Year
  9. Here's a beauty;- EasySaw – SoTrends SOTRENDS.COM
  10. The Stones have got to be one of the best, truly authentic Rock and Rollers. But I agree, they should quit when they're ahead. Interesting appraisals of their latest album. I admit I'd written it off until now, but it sounds like it's worth seeking out.

  13. Interesting stuff, thanks. Yes, it goes on to talk about the Devon Shovel in this book. Echoes what you said pretty much. It's my weapon of choice for most kinds of digging/shoveling work, been using one for years. I've got a square ended one as well actually, that's better for some things like moving loose material. Sorry for hijacking this thread somewhat!
  14. By way of a follow up, just in case anyone was waiting with bated breath! I received the new license on Saturday, so under a week from when I applied for it. Everything is present and correct. I'm well impressed. Still got the old one too, though I'll probably just cut it up and bin it now.
  15. This is a funny coincidence, I've just been reading about how they used to repair a Devon Turf Hedge. This looks slightly different to what you've described, maybe just a question of timing. This guy is talking about working in the 1930s, and specifically in the South Hams, South Devon.
  16. And dead sticks. They make up about half of what I see planted on new developments.
  17. Too right. Moby - Go is up there with the best of them.
  18. Gaucho, in Birmingham was pretty damn good. It was a few years back that my missus treated me to a birthday dinner there, the details escape me now, but I remember being blown away. It was mouth wateringly good. What I do remember was the size of the steaks. I've got a healthy appetite so was very reluctant to take the waitresses advice and only order a medium and not a large. She was right, I could barely finish it! And melt in the mouth tender. The fresh sausage for starter was excellent too.
  19. Time to mix it up a bit. The Chemical Brothers. They've never done it for me, not even close. Not exactly sure why. Other dance/electronic outfits from the same epoch like Leftfield, The Orb, The Prodigy and Massive Attack were far better.
  20. Great work. I was doing sourdough for a while, I kept it going for a year or so. It's a nice little project and makes tasty bread. Mine were not as good as your loaves though. I didn't have the stamina in the end, to keep up with the nurturing that the starter needs every couple of days. Also, it doesn't work that well in a bread maker. I've been making my own bread for years, but with a machine for expediency. I just stick to making Kefir a couple times a week and Saurkraut occasionally. Seeing those pictures tempts me back to sourdough though..... ...
  21. QUEEN. Imo. Over hyped.

    The culinary merits of different insects probably deserves a whole new topic of its own. Not something I've had much experience of, apart from the odd thing here and there out of interest or for a dare.

    Greggs are certainly best for fresh doughnuts. Got to be jam though. Non of that Krispy Kreme muck.
  25. With all due respect to your Sweep; I'm certain that he's wrong! Mineral wool will never burn, if indeed it is mineral wool, as it's essentially just glass fibre. I'm interested in the wider question as I have the same set-up. I've never thought about the issue of heat escaping via the closure plate, but my hunch is that it can't be a lot.
