You must be having one of your hot flushes

Do you flush the toilet every time you go or do you abide by if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down

Nerd humour!
*I've been a very bad girl" she whispered. "I need to be punished"
"Very well..." he replied and installed Windows 10 on her laptop.

Know any nerd jokes?

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Have you been attacked by a swarm of insects in Great Yarmouth?? I have

No, that's more likely to happen here on the farm....I've seen bees swarming many times!! Only thing to do is run indoors. I may have mentioned on this thread the time it happened when I had a white sheet on the washing line. It was covered in hundreds of blobs of yellow bee poo after the swarm

How often do you eat honey?

I'll go with Dickens, far more relevant & easier for people to connect with.

What's for breakfast?

Cereal of some sort, when I get around to it

Did you read about the Apollo 10 astronauts hearing strange sounds/music while orbiting the dark side of the moon?

I tried it once in South Africa but all I thought about was the scene where a starving Charlie Chaplin eats his boots.

Are there any other foods which, whilst not revolting, are really not worth the waste of time and money trying.

Oysters. Very expensive and apparently taste like swallowing snot. I've never tried one myself

Have you ever eaten sashimi? Now that's delicious

I've tried it, thought it was odd but okay. I like raw tuna but raw salmon has an odd texture

Been in court all day so might knock off early... ever been before the beak??

All the meals my mom paid for when touring the great Italian restaurants of the West Country

The tea at the Magistrates Court was foul, unbelievable bad

How do YOU make a good cup of tea, hmmm??

I usually pour a small amount of freshly boiled water into my thermal mug
then tip it out
pop in 1 hermesetas
1 tea bag
a heaped tea spoon of **convenient** dried milk powder
About 1 .5 tsps of tap water to mix the milk -
swirl the mug around to make it look like regular milk would look
Then from a height -/ raise the kettle High
then >>>>> swiftly top up the mug with very the **turbulated** boiling water

[ edit ]
Stir this vigorously a few times - with a long spoon
then pluck the bag out and squeeze it well = usually with my fingers
if not - press the tea bag to the side of the mug with a tea spoon
then toss the hot dry tea bag into the steel bowl - ready to be put outside in the compost bin

Glad you enjoyed your time and those meals while you were away

what do you do ??

off >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to make a mug of **my new brand - of highly recommended Morrison's decaff tea bags ** that I bought on Saturday night

Tea bag in cup, boiling water, tiny bit of milk and two sugars. The trick is in ensuring it is properly brewed with time and squeezing that tea bag until it almost pops!

Yorkshire Tea, obviously!

Favourite coffee??

My all time fave was in Sydney - It was called ** International Roast **
and I regularly bought lots of those large 2.5 kg deep cans
I did not dare run out of it
In Sydney I also gound my coffee beans - at the supermarket
and would use our fabulous orange Breville electric percolator -
but that would keep you awake for Hours and hours !!!!

Nescafe became my coffee of choice in the UK
More recently Arabica is nice

For about 10 years now - I do not drink any coffee at home as it does not agree with me anymore
it makes me feel horribly nauseous and unsettled
I will have a coffee when I am out and about - as I still like the taste

How about your choice of coffee ??

One freshly brewed from a decent cafe!

I make my Yorkshire tea similarly to yourself Nate, only with no sugar. Let the bag stew for a good 3-5 mins then crush it ruthlessly against the side of the mug with a teaspoon to get all the brew out Just had a delicious cup of it

OMG Choccy, your bargains were EPIC!! Did you have to freeze all that meat and pies etc?? The cheese will last you ages!!

No, quite small, belongs to the landlord....I couldn't get much more in it. It's generally fine for one person though.

Or maybe all those chickens were for the doggies?
