    I'm making a stew

    I've got a bay thing in a ball outside the front door, is that the same as the dried bay leaves?

    I'm making a stew

    It's just for 4 of us, but it'd probably feed 20, i hope it reduces a bit because theres hardly any room left for the liquid. fao jill not added tomatoes because I can't stand them. fao keith i forgot the bayleaf, will add now. Along with the knorr stock i threw in some bovril and now it's a bit salty, would some sugar fix this?
  3. So far i've chucked 5 chopped onions, a whole garlic, two packs of mushrooms, 10 carrotts, half a swede, and a parsnip in a big pan with butter. What should i do next (i reliase stage 1 may be wrong but hey ho)? I've got £15 worth of steak and 4 kidneys to add at some stage Some mixed herbs, knorr beef stock, plus other stuff in the cupboard if anyone has a suggestion.
  4. Of course they're not worth as much as the leader of the country.
  5. The points scoring is silly, as is this thread.
  6. Delldays thinks it's a must win game, as does Alpine Saint, as does Glasgow Saint. As it's so crucial will you all be in attendance to cheer the team on?
  7. I don't think anyone is saying that.
  8. If you look back through history at our past hero's - cecil rhodes, clive of India, Sir Francis Drake etc ect - they were all enterprising individuals who contributed hugely to our nations prosperity. Phillip green is in the same mould yet he gets lambasted for doing well.
  9. Most people on here tend to ignore him.
  10. MP's receive a pittance as does our Prime Minister. GP's, and bureaucrats receive more.
  11. I avoid unneceassary tax an NI by paying my pension contributions through pensmart and I pay an AVC to reduce the amount the taxman receives still further. I will then take 25% of my lifetime allowance as a tax free lump sum and seek financial advice on how best to invest this. It's common sense to get the best deal.
  12. It's a novel idea of mine, but I think it'd be a good idea if benefits were reduced according to a claimants body fat index. If they're too fat the are clearly spending too much money on food. In fact i'd take my reforms further with a reintroduction of workhouses for some of the claimants and a ration book system for the rest. It's amazing how so many of the "career slobs" smoke ready rolled ciggarettes - this would stop under my ration scheme where just the essentials such as potatoes and porridge oats are provided. Those on benefits should not receive any cash.
  13. I thought Delldays announced he was not going to renew his full membership.
  14. You are joking?
  15. The sad events of this week puts things into perspective and i'd agree with the post above.
  16. It wouldn't surprise me if either Markus's daughter or son didn't say a few words on the pitch before the game.
  17. I didn't mean it to be rude, it's just not for me but if others wanted to do it it wouldn't bother me really.
  18. Spent almost £600 on an slr camera last week. They take fantastic pics although mine has twice as many pixies as the one on this thread. As pancake says it's worth over £200 of anyones money.
  19. Ho Ho Ho, the gobby Posh fan at work is gonna get some ****.
  20. Don't start.
  21. I wouldn't have expected homophobia from such an ardent left winger. You surprise and sadden me BTF.
  22. Socialists would never look to feather their own nests.
  23. We need someone to play alongside Rickie if truth be told.
  24. You forgot to add 13 years of Labour in your explanation for this country going to the dogs.
  25. We have more class than Liverpudlians and their tacky displays. Singing for 90 minutes will do.
