Many years since I drank one, but my favourite is creme de menthe, pernod, and double vodka in a half-pint pot topped up with lemonade.

Was the cyclist riding dangerously is the important question for me. As I said, unless he shot through the lights at speed I don’t believe he posed a danger to anyone at that time of day; but without more information about the specific details of the ‘offence’ it is hard to make a definitive judgement.
I will admit that I have ridden in dangerous fashion on the roads many times in the past, but always in the knowledge that any misjudgement on my part would result in severe gravel rash at very least. That is generally punishment enough if it happens. Perhaps cyclists should be forced to take out third party insurance, in case they do have an accident.

Hoping I have more than one thing to do before I die; unless you know something my doctor hasn’t told me.

Yes, I hate shaving too, but facial growth makes me feel dirty. I tend to leave it 2/3 days between shaves. I can’t complain though, because I didn’t need to shave too regularly until my mid-twenties.
What would you rather have to put up with: shaving or menstruation? My ex-partner and I regularly argued about whose gender martyrdom was the greater.

I’m off to Boom this year. Tickets are available from Access All Areas. Tel: 020 72678320; or visit http://www.accessallareas.org/main.html
Still got to get mine.

@raj]try and get a tape/cd [local library?] and listen to it for a bit portuguese can be quite guttural to the french/spanish speaker and you need to get an ear for it[/QUOTE wrote:

Good idea. I’ll visit this afternoon, and try to get one. Cheers.

Made it to my first party in two years. Went to one on Friday night, one on Saturday night, and talked myself into going to Boom in Portugal. Don’t know how I’ll handle that; I’m not at my best in the heat, and I’ve only been abroad once on a one day shopping trip. After much hard work and stress the celebrations continue …

Probably something by Hardfloor: Acperience, Into the Nature, or almost anything else by them.

Ingredients: Eggs, chocolate, pinch of salt.

You need one egg for every two ounces of chocolate (per person, usually). Separate the egg white from the yolk.
Melt the chocolate indirectly (I’m sure you know) by placing in a cup and putting the cup in a pan of boiling water. Do not overheat the chocolate.
break down the yolk, generally whisking or stirring with a fork or something.
When chocolate is melted, add the beaten yolk and stir in until consistency is uniform, ie, no isolated patches of chocolate or egg yolk.
Whisk the egg white, with a tiny, TINY, pinch of salt (I’ve overdone it once or twice; still ate it, though).
Fold the egg white into the chocolatey yolk.
Place in suitably sized dishes (the smaller the sooner it sets), and put in the fridge until it sets.
It’s a lot simpler than I have made it sound.
As with any uncooked egg product, do not give to infants or geriatrics, because of the salmonella risk (unless thay are brats or twats).

Drunk too much cider too many times. Used to give me a bad gut. Bulmers Special Reserve used to be okay.
Thank you. What you mean I deserve nuclear waste?

Yes.
Getting pissed out of my head for the first time in almost five years (see Good Morning thread for explanation). Think I might get a bottle of Champagne and a bottle of Armagnac or Cognac. Although, I heard on the news that Champagne may be radioactive, from illegal dumping of nuclear waste in France.

I’m just being thankful for what I have right now.

It is indeed a good day. I have just handed in one essay, one more to go, then the birds will sing, the bees will buzz, and so will I. Have a wonderful day yourself Ange1, and everyone else.
