The good thing about being a Scot is that we know the team's pish so don't expect to do well! Unlike the English media, which seemed to have the cup won for England before the tournament even started.

Why should it be?
Whenever I've been to Reading or Leeds there's a veritable fug of dopesmoke over the campsites, and you can pretty much smell it wherever you go throughout the day. It's not that hard to sneak in - at Reading somebody had about 3oz of £20 bags and was wandering round selling them, and not particularly subtly either.

was being facetious :-)
there was an awful lot of police presence at sonisphere last year though, wandering around the camping areas even. quite annoying. meant I had to hide away in my tent or act like a meercat when I wanted a smoke

What are they like for patting you down when you go in?
No reason for asking, you understand

into the arena they are quite strict
I saw various people having stuff taken away so I didn't bother trying. Camping was close enough to the arena that regular spliff breaks weren't too much trouble.

on the way into the camping etc. when we arrived it was fine. as long as you didn't look like a little shit or some kind of crusty.

As blousie said, I've got a new industrial piercing
And it's still a little sore to touch.

Sadly not
I was very aware of the weak (but lovely) girly piercer struggling to get a needle through my hard, manly cartilage.

She said, but I thought it was on Wednesday.

I've just found a cheaty paella recipe which works rather well.

Paella - Abs, you must have a recipe to share.
Let's have it, B3ta will try it, and we can all compare our results by Friday.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 15 Jun 2010, 10:29, Reply)

I have 3 recipes to share
Fish and seafood
Fish, meat and seafood
Meat and seafood

They are quite similar, the main difference is at the beginning. You need as well a good paella pan and a good fire.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 15 Jun 2010, 10:44, Reply)

Pliz explain more
what makes a good pan - is a heavy frying pan OK?
And a good fire? - surely all fire is good? - I have a gas ring, will that do?
And then we can move on to the recipe.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 15 Jun 2010, 11:07, Reply)

The pan doesn't need to be heavy
It has to be flat, and share the heat everywhere the same, and not deep. The fire needs to be in a ring (like yours) in around the middle of the pan, or a bit towards the edge, so that the heat gets shared everywhere the same. If you do it outdoors, look out for wind that might be blowing part of the flame, that'll make a mess of the paella.

Good ones (if a bit expensive, but not much) here:
This is the traditional one:
www.thepaellacompany.co.uk/polished-steel-paella-pans.html
But you can search in the web for others that offer easy cooking and non-stick, which are equally good.

For the recipe, I need a bit of time to write it, I'll post it after lunch.

man I love paella
I look forward to your recipe!

in fact I love good food. I need to get my bro's recipe for squid stuffed with chorizo
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 11:19, Reply)

Mmmm...
Squid stuffed is always good.

Do you like chick peas? There is a terribly easy recipe with them and sobrasada (like chorizo butter, a very soft chorizo that you spread on bread)

Boil the chick peas (or buy them boiled) put them on a dry pan. Add the sobrasada (as much as you want) and heat. Ready. It's the best food ever! (if quite unhealthy)
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 15 Jun 2010, 11:29, Reply)

Here
www.lishmansonline.co.uk/Shop/Spanish-Foods/Sobrasada?gclid=CPK5vtTxoaICFYEA4wodHFGKuw

Of course, to do this dish, you use very cheap sobrasada, so the whole thing is around £2 or less, perfect for students.

I'm considering opening a Spanish products shop in Worthing if I can't get a job there.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 11:37, Reply)

It's far too good
I can't stop eating it, so I've stop buying it. It's even better with a bit of cheese on top of the spreaded bread and lightly grilled on the oven. Oooooh mmmm... I'd kill for one now.
