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.

Another honest copper

Metropolitan Police Commander Ali Dizaei has been sentenced to four years for assaulting and falsely arresting a man in a dispute over 600.

From the Heathrow BA plane crash report:

"The AAIB report said: "Certification requirements, with which the aircraft and engine fuel system had to comply, did not take account of this phenomenon as the risk was unrecognised at that time."

The report added that research in the 1950s had identified the problem of ice formation in fuel systems from dissolved or trapped water, but it did not identify that it was possible for accumulated ice to restrict fuel flow."

I am astonished that the commercial air industry claim not to have recognised the possibility of icing in fuel systems; the military have been using FSII (fuel system icing inhibitors) for yonks, in fact if the FSII level drops to an unacceptable level the fuel isn't even issued to an aircraft. Amazing

I found the following:

"It was the biggest shock in my life, when I realised how horrible, soulless and without feeling the five star lifestyle is," he said. "In those three weeks, we spent all the money you could possibly spend. But in all that time, we had the feeling we hadn't met a single real person that we were all just actors. The staff played the role of being friendly and the guests played the role of being important and nobody was real."

Hmmm? I think I can empathise with that. Whenever I've done five star, I feel the same. I think that's why I always prefer to stay three or four star.

There must be tons of very rich, very unhappy people out there, don't you think?

Fully agree, but I bet there are far more unhappy poor people.

My dad had many sayings, one was its always better to be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.

They also say that money can't buy you health. But if you are wealthy there is often a better chance of a healthier life, and better health care when you do need it.

It also may not buy you love, but just look at all the gorgeous sexy women who are coupled with plain ugly men who have money, appreciate the reverse can be said of rich ugly women and good looking blokes, but not to the same extent.

How many of us blokes have had fantasise of being mega rich and having the pick of the fairer sex.

No wonder the rich and famous have problems re sexual exploits, it must be very difficult to turn down some of the offers they get.

Any other male chauvinist pigs out there.

"Enough is as good as a feast" and "knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers" were my old man's favourite quotes to me. I like them both - and appreciate them more as I get older.

Partridgeyour Father is a very astute man imo

When I was very youngAbout eighteen months ago I had a poor appetiterelatives used to saycome oneat all your food upyou will never grow into a big ladit is such a waste to leave itmy Mother would give me that loving facial expression only she could give me take the plate and throw my food awaywhen the relatives had gone my Mother would come up to me and saydont worry its ok if you had eaten your food when you clearly did not want toit would be a bigger wasteI still grew into a big lad[not fat lol].and the philosophy continues

M&S Sticky toffee pudding with custard.you wont eat better than thatand there wont be any thrown awayMothers take note!!! [T A B ASCO]

We shop a lot in Milton Keynes and not too far away from the Centre is Raymond Blanc's Brasserie. This is a lovely place to dine and need not be too expensive because 'he does deals'.

One of his signature dishes is a chocolate fondant pudding with melt in the middle chocolate. This stuff oozes out when you puncture the souffle outer. He serves this with cream or ice cream and makes it with cocoa powder, fresh eggs and other good stuff.


Cough cough.

Wel, despite all that fame and notoriety and the very best ingredients, I actually do really prefer M & S 'Melting Moments' chocolate fudge puddings. They also do the 'ooze out' thingy whatsit trick and IMHO are far, far superior. I think these are full of creamy Belgian chocolate sauce inside a lovely dark fluffy mousse. The ice cream we would use to accompany these is Carte D'or Greek Yogurt and Honey or maybe a generous dribble of cold, yummy, organic Vanilla Yogurt - low fat, of course! ;-)

Exec.food is second only to. Booze...I jestbut the three together aint a bad eveningas long as you cut down a little on the booze?

Exec,

Underneath it all, I thought you were real "sweety"!

As my wife is on yet another diet, being the considerate loving husband, I of course showed her the last few posts, including the picture of 'chocolate fondant pudding with melt in the middle chocolate'.
As she was tucking into her breakfast consisting of a dry water biscuit at the time, this did not go down well.
She has threatened that if any more similar posts/pictures are posted she will report those responsible to MoneyAm under their rules of posts that discriminate against minority groups. You would be surprised what fits the discrimination laws nowadays.
I tried to calm her down by saying that as there are millions of people far fatter than she is (tactful, arn't I, she is only a tad overweight) and that if you are fat, by default you are not a minority (there is more of you so how can you be).
This for some reason did not go down well. She is powering her PC up as I type. You have been warned.

Greekwith your wife tucking into a water biscuitand then you sayingif you are fat, by default you are not a minority (there is more of you so how can you be)..I would suggest. as Valentines day approaches14th in case it slips your mind? a Party Dressa chauffeur driven limousine to The Ivy Champagne partyand soft talk her with every compliment you have ever learntthen.if you are extremely luckyyou might have salvaged your nuts.
