According to Gordon Ramsey's mentor, ol' whatisname, Marco Pierre White, the best way to cook bacon, for a bacon sandwich is to microwave it. And he said this in all seriousness. I've tried it. It does work very well with the bacon being very well cooked and juicy [but not crisp], and you get your bacon sandwich in seconds. But I wouldn't say it's the best way. makes a fantastic and super quick BLT this way though. Tbh, the vast majority of bacon rashers you can buy these days isn't worth the bother with taking the trouble over.

As mentioned before in another thread, I've never liked the Premiership, when Saints were in it, and not now they are out of it. The Premiership was an appalling idea for real competition. However, it is there, and is the pinacle of football in this country. Therefore I'd like Saints to be back in it.

He's a self praiser/advertiser. Always has been, always will. He'll be bloody awful when he retires.

It's a British car. Back then, Jaguar were extremely British [it was the early 1950's I believe], as were every British car manufacturer, if you get my meaning. The whole British car culture looked to the British market, and little else. Which incidentally, is probably why they failed, but I digress. That's a British countryside in the picture. The car is driving on the left, and is quite clearly LHD, if for no other reason than that, back then, a woman could never have driven a car while a man was available. Unthinkable..! I, myself, think the picture was originally the other way round, and just possibly [although it wouldn't be the British thing to do] was overtaking the viewer. In that way, it fits. Anyway, that's how I see it from the middle ages.

Yeah, I read this last night myself. Nearly posted a link too. Have to agree with his general sentiment. Professional football has gone way too far. Clubs no longer represent their locales. The next progression would be clubs moving to where they are most profitable, and who in the UK would want that..?

Sadly, I like my head hair back. I shave my head as if it doesn't matter, but I do miss the great hair I used to have. I'm a stone overweight too, but I can always lose that, and as a matter of fact, I am, being a bit under that stone too much, at present. I'll never get the fantastic barnet back that I used to have.

Agreed. I first saw her in the 2002 film version of Nicholas Nickleby. I thought she looked a little odd then. Oh well, each to their own.

Are they the slightly bigger than normal variety..? Apparently, these are not indigenous to these islands and are slowly wiping out the native ones. Bit of a shame really.

Of course Nigel Pearson wasn't a Bootboy. There are no such positions as bootboy in professional football. If anything, kitman Malcolm Taylor was the SFC bootboy, until his contract was cancelled. Pearson was simply a 1st Team Coach/Manager for SFC, who didn't have his contract renewed. The Bootboy tag is only one person's opinion, and personally styled nomenclature for a manager, who the member concerned has a low opinion of. It means no more than that. The member is using name-calling as a means to aggravate certain sections of the SFC fanbase, nothing more. There are a few things about Nigel Pearson that should be made clear, to balance the thread, regardless of results, opinions, etc.., during his tenure. 1. Nigel Pearson's attitude and conduct while he was at SFC was exemplary. 2. Pearson's personal standing among fans, at the end of last season, could hardly have been higher [95% approval], as evidenced by independant polls conducted by Saints Web and Hampshire Radio. 3. There has not been one word of reproach from Pearson since his contract was cancelled. Merely a statement of regret that he wasn't able to continue as manager.

Because they are old silver on black plates. And illustrations from the era do not generally suggest a pictured car is overtaking one with the view. That's a modern perspective.

Take your pick from: 1. Your own raised esteem 2. My improved opinion 3. Proof that motorcycle riders are more aware than car drivers [if you are a motorcycle rider as I believe you might be, but I've forgotten]

Doesn't your own bank have to pass that on first..? And you must have one hell of a mortgage to be saving £210 on half a percent cut. More like £21.. yes..? Or £210 a year. For my mortgage, a 1/2% cut would be closer to £2.50 saved.

Good spot..! And with GB number plates. The rules of the road are no boundary to the fantasy world.

Sadly, MB does. Dude only just makes it too, via David Bowie and Mott The Hoople.

The Premier League clubs in debt..? Oh dear. Well, never mind.

I can never fathom Adobe PaintShop, but I do rock at Jasc Paint Shop Pro. If you want that Fortress badge adapted, then the bigger the image [within reason] the easier.

That's right, put a positive spin on things.

Oh. I was looking forward to a... I'll be the one with the bandages, dark specs, trilby and overcoat, kind of reply.

Those movements were so instinctive and life-like that at one point I began to think there were a couple of kids in that contraption with their legs hanging out the ends on stilts. Amazing.

Hang on, I see a trend happening here. This means that the best young players who truly want to play regular first team football will be clamouring to play for Saints in the future. Hooray, we're saved..!

Hmm, yes. I pay a subscription, on top of my licence fee [at least the Beeb don't advertise]. Which gives me the right to watch SKY programmes. Unfortunately, it gives SKY the right to advertise products to me, while I pay for the privilage of watching them. It also means SKY do not have to budget for the extra programme time in the schedules that they would have to fill if they didn't advertise. Adverts can easily be as much as 15 minutes in the hour. That's 15 minutes, per hour SKY don't have to find money for, but I pay for it, and so do the companies who make the adverts. Rupert Murdoch must have a real belly laugh some times. Add to this the repeats upon repeats that SKY will invariably throw at me [yes, I have looked at the SKY schedules], and which means they do not have to fund extra original programming, and it all adds up to a fair few quid in their pocket, just so I can have that little novelty of a satellite dish sitting on my roof. And I haven't even subscribed to much programming of worth yet [perhaps The Discovery Channel..?] The Movies and Sport are extra. Starting to feel ripped off yet..? If ever the notion of SKY TV becomes even remotely attractive to me, I'll bugger off and do something more interesting instead. Like watching paint dry or sticking my head down the toilet. Here's a little story: About 10 years an elder relative stopped using SKY TV after 3-4 years subscription. He actually realised that most of his viewing was BBC1 and 2 via the satellite dish.

Yes you are. Humans are part of the animal kingdom. Or Did you mean that in the Pepperami sense..?

Oooh clever..!

That's a good one. I'm trying to think of the biological types, that have a beating heart, that aren't animals. Err.. fish and non-air breathing sea creatures, insects and spiders. Can't think of any others..? :confused:

But hopefully it isn't females for ya..!
