  1. Go on. Upset me. What does a Solero cost these days?
  2. My mum spent quite a lot of time in Germany but I’ve not asked any questions. I nearly put uncooked but it didn’t sound as appetising. The curing method? Who knows. It’s ASDA’s cooking bacon crab bait packs, the best kept secret in bacon.
  3. In the same way that a reference to a lack of religion is treated the same as a reference to religion by the Equality Act 2010, s 10(1), the cooking thread may feature uncooked things. Raw bacon in a bit of salt and vinegar, smear of piccalilli. With mouse droppings.
  4. Seems trivial. Isn’t.
  5. It’s far more than inconvenience though. It’s a kidnap and if he resisted, they’d kill him before letting him go. For not breaking the law. Let’s say that instead of browsing eBay in his pants, he was sat bolt upright in a three piece suit, eyes flicking between ten screens in a trading platform. He just happens to be drinking while doing it. He could have any amount of money in play, laid various ways across various instruments. The filth kidnap him for a few hours and are kind enough to drop him back to his van, in time to see that Tokyo shut and EUR/USD flipped in his absence and he’s lost hundreds of thousands of pounds because he couldn’t close the trades.
  6. Precisely. Here’s an idea: It be illegal to do a bad thing and not be illegal to not do the bad thing. Any of us can look to our left and headbutt the person standing there but it’s not a crime until we do it.
  7. They’ve got that magic aromatic quality that you can’t necessarily taste but which wafts around the back of your nasal passages. Like dill and sometimes rosemary and thyme. I hope I don’t arrive at the best restaurant behind the pearly gates, get seated, have the option for any earthly (or indeed superearthly) delights and then can’t remember the name of delicious stuff for eternity.
  8. I do probably have arbtalk’s worst food hygiene rating. Probably why I also have arbtalk’s strongest immune system.
  9. They’re definitely nigella. Had some biscuits with them in a while ago. I could remember the joy, just not the word.
  10. Arbtalk is no longer a place Rough Hewn can be.
  11. Nigella.
  12. Whatever it's called is just going to be government murder slang. 'Leveraged outcome executive activity' or somesuch similar bollocks. 'Hard espionage' maybe, like the yanks calling cider hard-cider if it has any alcohol in it.
  13. God knows. I was going to say something about any act of a nation state being war but that sounds like potentially a lot of argument in itself. I've probably made the situation worse just by posting. In the words of Al Murray, "CAREFUL!"
  14. Seed ID please. This is hacking me off that I can’t remember the name for them. On some bread described as ‘naan inspired loaf’ or similar. I was sceptical too but it’s in fact lovely. Anyway. What are the seeds?
  15. “Counter intelligence” You’re wasted on tree work, Mick.
  16. Gotcha. Steven P said base. I read underneath. Inside is considerably more sane. What a load of bollocks anyway though. You’re either driving or not. The clue is the van moving. And yet the law of England appears to have spent a thousand years evolving into a stupid game of who can really really really show that they really really really really times infinity plus one weren’t going to drive, no get backs, no returns. ****************ing pathetic.
  17. Where does this suggestion to keep keys in an exterior box come from? What a stupid idea. Publicise to highwaymen that they can take their time on a break-in because the van can’t be driven away. And then once they’ve subdued the occupant, they know where to find the keys. I’ll be in a quiet lay-by later this week and then again the week after next. I might have a couple of beers before bed. The keys will be in my boot, next to my bed, next to my alsatian. Come and take them.
  18. @Steve Bullman I'll pay you to shut this thread.
  19. How much do they go for?
  20. Are Swazi hoods more tunnelly than Ridgeline hoods? I tried on a Ridgeline the other week. The sides are quite open, presumably for shooting. I want something I can more hide from bad weather in.

    It does affect no claims. At least it did for my mate, who I believe and trust above car insurers.

    Haven’t looked for just glass yet. First thought was a whole door. A job for Monday morning anyway. Too depressed with the whole escapade now. Speaking of which, it’s a gun shop in the photo. The Saturday bloke came out as I arrived, went to make a fuss of the dog and then noticed the missing bit of car. Made remarks on the glass, borrowed a dustpan and brush, bought some ammo and browsed for a few minutes. “Right then. Must be off. Thanks very much.” ”Thank you, sir. Have a nice weekend.” ”I’m going home to talk to Autoglass and probably shoot myself.” … <glancing at the bag of bullets he’d just sold me> “Please don’t joke, sir.”

    It will be but by the time I’ve paid an excess and been spanked by premiums for the next few years it’ll be cheaper to DIY it.
