Does he have to fit into a very small bit of attic to check the header-tank and replace the ballcock there?

What new hell is this?

Why would anyone with small children do this to herself?

‘Sally’ is feckin’ deranged, that’s what.

So let’s use some STURDY and THICK buttercream called Crusting Buttercream . Made with both shortening and butter, crusting buttercream “sets” and doesn’t stay sticky– it’s ideal for decorating gourmet cakes, cookies, and gingerbread houses.

Oh, come on, Sal, let’s not. Shortening? In buttercream?

I remember with fondness the GBB contestant who made a gingerbread replica of the pub in which she grew up, complete with a thin base sheet of lime jelly for the ‘sticky pub carpet’ effect.

Fishy, why are you looking at That Kind Of Thing?

My Mother did. As our birthdays were only 6 days apart, brother & me shared a tea party. One year the cake was a gingerbread house, with jelly cubes for the windows…

No, but I already know that bit. If the syphon isn’t a single unit so that you can’t get the membrane out without de-gunking it from the cistern…

Ingredients: 1 bottle good gin, 1 bottle don’t care any more gin.

PMSL; poor cow…

To warn men that they might get killed and eaten during/after mating?

I just hope no children tried to eat the wooden bricks: emergency dentistry at Christmas is a bitch to organise.

Paella was eaten for supper here

There was enough for two meals for 8 normal folk or 2 greedy gulpins for two suppers

Stir-fried veg, prawns and scallops with egg noodles. Enough for two bees.

The last time I had Paella was at an Birthday Lunch in S’algar in Menorca.

I donated my mussels to someone who could eat them… :wink:

I don’t use shellfish as we don’t like it so I use a chorizo and chicken and I added smoked paprika and some chipotle that I got from the Polish shop
