Checkout girl at Sainsburys today asked me how to use dishwasher salt.

Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy breaky hard.

Congrats!

Whereas I dug out a near-forgotten tub of lentil and spinach curry from the freezer and wrapped it up in parottas. Tons of coriander, gorgeous earthy flavours but it looks like diarrhoea so I won't be providing photos either.

Gullit's just walked on the pitch with a "LEE 7" shirt?

To be honest, it's mainly because my fella really doesn't like kids. But aye, the practicalities would be an issue too (with either route!) and then there's the question of whether it's fair to bring up a kid in that environment in the first place, and so on. Anyway, for now I'm happy enough borrowing other peoples' and returning them again afterwards. Wait, that sounds bad...

Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran

It's only just begun.

Good questions, good answers. I have the faintest hint of a soft spot for Villa having gone to Aston University, though my flatmate was a Bluenose (despite being from Edinburgh!) and I ended up living in the wilderness of Small Heath so I tended to go to St. Andrews every so often if anything, especially when Sunderland or Middlesbrough were in town.

I was going to say, isn't that nice? And I was all for the NUFC-inflicting until "and Barcelona about 2 hours down the road". Defining what constitutes a deal-breaker when it comes to your kids and their allegiance is a personal business and all, but that's got to come pretty close. (As for thinking about being a daddy, only very recently, really - and realistically it almost certainly won't happen, but still. I thought I'd told my brain what's what, but apparently even it can't override the tick-tock-tick-tock of the mid-30s. )

Innit? It's enough to make a man a little broody...

Aye, we're petrified of having an argument with Stevie like. Having arguments is the whole point of Stevie. For what it's worth I do think you get disproportionate stick when you come up with an offbeat view on something, but then you do have a bit of a history of that kind of thing...
