I miss SpankyHanky.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 19:15, 155 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
I always thought
That Spanky was actually Stusut on a lower dose of medication.

I threw a bunch of shit in a pan and heated it
pork medallions, sliced leek, tarragon, and then later brandy, dijon mustard, creme fraiche and some white wine (because the brandy wasn't enough liquid on its own).

Turned out lovely, fortunately.

And now I'm debating what to watch before probably an early night for the first time in ages.

This is the bit that makes me feel inferior
I can't cook.

I suppose I probably could if I put my mind to it, but I always get it wrong.

I live on packaged meals from Sainsbury's. I vary them, and I've probably got a better diet than many, but it'd be nice to say I could just bung some stuff in a pan and make it edible.

(I helped save b3ta! The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 20:46, Reply)
here is the thing right,
what you do is get a bit of chicken, then wrap it in bacon, then cook it.
that is the trick that mr sainsbury doesn't tell you so that he can sell you chicken pre-wrapped in bacon!

(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 20:53, Reply)
It's what makes us us
eating meat provided our ancestors with more energy and less time spent getting it, which allowed us to develop BRAINS.

Therefore vegetarians are stupid. Science is fun!

that's basically exactly why I went veggo in the first place.

here is a trick that you might find useful.
you can just buy vegetables, chop them up and put them in a tray to bake,
that is something the people who sell you vegetables that come in a tray for baking don't tell you, so that they can keep selling you vegetables that come in a tray for baking.
(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 20:50, Reply)
yeah but if you buy the ready chopped ones
you don't have to spend your time chopping them.
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 20:51, Reply)
i know that, but there is only me
and it works out cheaper than buying a whole onion/cougette, etc and either eating the same things for a week or throwing them away
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 20:51, Reply)

Don't be assuming I'm a native
I'm a Lancastrian on deep cover infiltration.

Although after 16 years I can pass for a native.

ooh
my birthday is on thursday, close!

my dad was born in tod, when it was still in yorkshire (the residents would say it still is). when he gets really fed up with our jibes about red roses, he will actually dig out his birth certificate to prove that it says yorkshire. i suspect tippex.

(i'm just being tongue in cheek)
as flowers, they are my favourites.

but as the symbol of lancashire, when one is from yorkshire... no no no.

so at what point of living there
does the allegiance shift from red to white??

It doesn't - ever.
I've conceded above that Leeds is the best City in the UK, but I'm still Lancashire and will clutch the thorny stem of the Red Red rose to my breast until I'm too old to clutch it any more.

(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 21:45, Reply)
it is all "the north" right?
is there any way of telling the difference between yorkshire and lancashire?
(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 21:47, Reply)
the accent is different
and the location is different!

i say this. i haven't lived there since i was born there, been in cheshire or london all my life, but meh.
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 21:51, Reply)
they are both in the north though right?
basically it is an east and a west north? why not call it east and west yorkshire or something?
(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 21:52, Reply)
see, technically
the whole of the uk is really just an extension of yorkshire.

so sitting here in kensington, i am in south east yorkshire.

I've put in sixteen years here
Three years at Leeds University makes nineteen in total.

erm...
well. about 7 days, as i was in hospital for a week after being born. BUT all my family on both sides for many generations are from there...
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 22:00, Reply)
so you're not particularly from yorkshire then

(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 22:04, Reply)
depends how you are judging it
by years spent living there? no
by houses owned there? no
by jobs there? no...

Oh very good.
If I trace my family history back far enough I'm probably a Viking.

You're no more Yorkshire than me.

Lancashire feels good
Yorkshire feels like you'd want to be somewhere else. Like Lancashire, possibly.
