This weekend I have to wait in for a phone engineer
do some work and I might buy a microwave

Anyone got any slightly more exciting plans than that?

alt: Is there anything I should know before I buy a microwave. I have never bought one before and only owned one by association.

i like baked potatoes
and warming yesterday's dinner up. Beyond that I'm lost
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 21 Jan 2011, 18:23, Reply)

Baked potatoes are infinitely better done in the oven
if you can be arsed with the time it takes, but yes - the sole function of a microwave is to heat leftovers, pretty much.
(berk, Fri 21 Jan 2011, 18:26, Reply)

If you microwave your jacket spuds for 10 minutes (or however long they take)
And they drizzle a bit of olive oil over the skin and put it in the oven, it'll crisp up in no time at all, giving you the best of both worlds.

I was thinking about going to the match and seeing if b3tans were about
But it's a Sunday kick-off and it looked far too complicated.

We've got Man City in 2 weeks...

Away to Palace.
I'm waiting on a phone call to find out if a mate is going, if he is, and driving, I'll make the trip to Selhurst. (Always a good atmosphere there).

Failing that, I'll listen to the game on the radio.

Nice thing about 4pm Sunday kickoff
I can watch it down the local with a pint or three.

Plus it's under 10 minutes walk so I can come home at half-time if we're terrible.

Yes, and Tayyabs too I presume?
you'll have to let me know whether Black Swan is any good. It looked it from the trailers and has been well reviewed, but I'd always rather an opinion from someone I know.

New Topic: Drinking
Over Christmas I drank very little (due to das poopenschnell, as the Germans say) and carried that on as "1 glass of wine with dinner in the week, whatever you like on Saturday, nothing on Sunday". That's 2 bottles of wine a week which is the recommended amount (down from 4-5 bottles a week).

This has worked well for 4 weeks - I've stuck to it and lost 4-5 lbs so far. But it's Friday night and it's only 20 past 8 and I've finished my glass of wine with dinner (turkey, mushroom and leek fricassee, delish).

Tell me, OT, that I can't have another because I'm going out tomorrow night AND will probably drink on Sunday while watching football. I need to do this for another week to turn it into a proper habit instead of an experiment.

4 - 5 bottles a week
Is rather beyond the recommendations of medical professionals, but it ain't problem drinking.

I remember watching a documentary about a geezer drinking 14 bottles A DAY.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Fri 21 Jan 2011, 20:34, Reply)

It was mostly the persistent nagging worry about the medical effects
and a little about the calories, too, that made me decide to cut down.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Fri 21 Jan 2011, 20:45, Reply)

Neither of those are issues to me
Maybe they should be. I've always thought that I was indestructible but as I get older I suppose my luck is running thinner.

It's also £10-15 a week less on booze
which is £520-780 a year. That's a holiday!

There is that, I suppose
I'm careful about when I drink, because my license is my job, but if I'm not driving the next morning I tend to get a bit carried away.

Lay off the booze.
I'm not drinking at all at home and I think I can already see the benefits.

Amphetamines are best for weight loss although you wouldn't have thought so looking at me all those years ago.

In fact I went for a walk earlier
I took my brother's stepladder back. But that's only 5 minutes there and 5 back.
