Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

We use rectangles of granite that sit on the oven shelves - I've never tried the round stones you buy in cookware shops because I always figured they were a bit on the small size for a decent pizza. It's the centre of the bases that don't crisp at the bottom. Putting the pizza onto a pre-heated stone allows the base to crisp.

When you see the proper pizza chefs spin and throw their pizza bases around, they're actually trying to make the centres thinner than the edges so that they cook evenly.

I can confirm that it is the oven that makes the difference, certainly where bread is concerned.. I know about these things.

most ovens cook unevenly anyway - i think to cook evenly, the oven needs to be absolutely level .... more to the point, oven thermometers are notoriously inaccurate, so i strongly recommend a good quality separate one

can't comment on pizzas or bread as have never made either

huhne and wife released after serving only 1/4 of their sentence
how can this conceivably be right and fair? .... i was wrongly under the impression that even with good behaviour you had to serve 1/2 your sentence, and this was scarcely a jay-walking offense .... the pair of them aggravated their "crime" by claiming innocence time after time after time so, whatever their public profile, why should they get off so lightly?

simple because they are one of the people who run and make the law
the law is different for MPs and judges .always has been
and lets be clear it was not a prison no working class person would ever go their
it is a hotel for the rich to retreat too for their crime

now go and read the rules as to why .... as usual, you're talking total crap without a grasp of the facts or indeed much else....

whether or not those rules should have been applied, when morality and public perception would see it otherwise, is another matter

yellow belly their are the true facts

tory party must DITCH the coalition now and save the party .

Cameron and Osborn do not appear to listen to anyone else.

Cameron doesn't know which way to lean.

The party implodes and he can't afford a pizza.

I thought The Guv had given up the "leadership hunt".

.

People moaning, 23 years after Thatcher left power, and not one of her policies has ever been reversed: what does that tell you about her getting it right?

ok , the poll tax

But how many of the anti union law's , Labour had 14 years to reverse them

indeed, i saw in the papers that one of the labour grandees (shadow cabinet?) said that the unions needed a further spanking

The 'poll tax' was one of the best policies.

Sounds like all your yesterdays.

Some of the memories are confabulated.

I suppose a little like the present tory coalition.

Not sure who the tories will be able to blame at the next election.

Will it be Heath, or even Maggie (for signature), but I bet it won't be themselves.

The excuses are already be written. (Of course there could be another U-turn.)

What a bunch of schoolboys and "girls".

The school boys and girls are clearly Labour. Ed Miliband still looks like a sixth form perfect. No wonder he is so unpopular with the public and Labour MPs alike. Can he last out until an election?

Clegg, Miliband, Cameron all have one thing in common, the public doesn't trust them. Is Farage really being voted for due to policy? If so then you'd assume people are aware of UKIP's policies, not so. Farage is winning votes because the public trust him more than the other three amigos heading their parties. A reshuffle must come before the next election I think or else.

Tories to publish details of draft EU referendum bill

The Conservatives are to publish a draft parliamentary bill to legislate for an in-out referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union to be held by the end of 2017.

Misuse of public money for torid party needs, comes to mind.


Cameron is a leader being led by his nose.
