Speaking of Christmas here is a recipe for bisquits Ingredients: 1 cup plain flour ¼ cup cocoa 110g soft butter ¼ cup caster sugar Method: Preheat oven to 170°C. Sift flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl and use your fingers to rub in the soft butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and bring the whole mixture together, using your hands, to form a stiff dough; it should just come together into a ball. Place half the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and, using a rolling pin, roll out to a thickness of about 5mm. Remove top sheet of baking paper and cut dough into Christmas shapes such as stars, angels and trees. If you want to hang the biscuits on your Christmas tree, use a skewer or the pointy end of a small icing nozzle to make a small hole just below the top of the biscuit for the ribbon. (Make sure it is big enough to thread the ribbon through.) Carefully place the biscuit shapes on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Repeat this process with the second half of the dough. Any leftover dough can be re-rolled and cut into more shapes. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits move on the baking tray when the tray is gently shifted from side to side. Remove the tray from the oven, leave the biscuits on the tray for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. When cold, ice the biscuits with white icing. Decorate with silver cachous and thread with ribbon if they’re being used for decorations. If not using to decorate the Christmas tree, store in a sealed plastic container or tin. Cook’s tips These biscuits can be made without cocoa: just substitute plain flour for the cocoa. For icing, mix 75g sifted icing sugar with 1-2 Tbsp boiling water. Instead of icing, you could decorate the biscuits with silver cachous before baking. From Taste magazine, December 2007.

The most dangerous cake recipe 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) a small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee mug Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night.

How can the Police prove beyond reasonable doubt that the men pictured were actually singing the abuse, do they have recordings that they can take individual voice prints from to 100% prove their alegations ?

Point 1 should that be "In spite of" rather than "Because of" ? Point 2 They are just as good as each other so you would have saved a fortune in wages and in your financial position that would be good for you I think

Plenty of those around and some might say they post on here

Spelling is not that great, they have sites for the "UK and erie" I guess that they mean "UK and Eire" ( Eire is of course the Irish name for the Republic of Ireland )

I must admit that although the world financial position is a valid reason I feel that failing to win is the more likely reason, Asians don't like to lose face and many years ago Honda used to boast about their motorcycle racers by saying "Honda enters, Honda wins"

Low interest rates are a B nuisance, I think they should be at least 10% so us poor people who need the interest from our savings means that they go up not down. When I had a mortgage thingy I always had to pay high interest.You youngsters don't know how lucky you are. :D:D

Saint in Paradise replied to Weston Super Saint's topic in The Lounge
I voted for him to go. Over a long period of time he has shown that he can't quite grasp how to sort problems out before they get too large plus he is unable to ever accept that he could be wrong, not even once and lets face it No-one is ever 100% correct ( except wives of course ) -

OK all you "Admin" fans, what happens if after going into admin no-one buys Saints ? Saints as we know them will cease to exist so what are your suggestions for what SMS could be used for or would it be better to knock it down and build flats,shops perhaps a swimming pool ???

A lot can happen in a year so good luck to him and remember how many players were turned away by clubs before "making it" with others. -
I know how to add / delete addresses from my "Favorites" list aka bookmarks and I have managed to print the whole list ( 7 pages ) but in doing so it only shows the name not the full URL address that you get when you move your cursor over it. What I mean is when I put my cursor over Saints Web-Powered by.... the http://www.saintsweb.co.ukforum address shows up so how can I get a print of all of these www. addresses rather that just the name of the site. I expect this has confused you experts but I hope some kind soul will understand what I mean and be able to help me ? Please remember I am old and not too bright re computers Thanks
