Meenzer

Don't bring Meenzer into this. Did I shave my legs for this?

btw I love how you suggested fish for a vegetarian meal. You're like one of those greek mothers when told their child no longer eats meet, says "that's ok, I'll just cook them some lamb!" He said it could have fish in in it, dipshit. </gemmill>

I always do. He likes them fresh and springy.

It's ego-driven. Whether that stretches to a "personality" is a matter of opinion.

Oh well fine, I suppose you could use a proper recipe rather than a half-arsed shortcut.

NOLON?

Thinking about it, the latter would probably work just as well stirred through a pack of Sharwoods noodles if you want to avoid serving up standard-issue penne, too. Alternatively, a veggie stir-fry (plenty of sugar snaps/mange tout etc. for colour) with a sachet of http://www.bluedragon.com/products/sauces/...-fry-sauce.aspx and the aforementioned noodles would do the trick too. I'll stop now.

Hm. I'd consider [fish and] roasted vegetable skewers with Indian spices, cooked BBQ-style for a bit of char-grilled goodness and served over rice and salad. You're getting into winter vegetable territory now it's November so more "meaty" stuff like butternut squash should be easy enough to track down. On a similar note, for all you want to avoid pasta, this - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1456/ro...red-onion-pasta - is a doddle and should fall well within the budget.

No, I am win! In the complete short-arse category.. peasepud wins a few categories. Sounds like there's a few of us on here who'd be giving Cath a decent run for her money in the "best rack" category too.

I'm willing to wrap it up in tinsel if that helps.

I'm off the list I'm afraid, parentals are jetting off to sunnier climes for half of December so I'm doing the festive trip in early January instead.

There's a million and one Christmas #1 campaigns after last year, so they'll obviously all cancel each other out and the X Factor winner will storm it. That said, if any of them has to be successful, I hope it's this one.

Less goalflash, more goalmeh.

The man in the real world, you mean?

unfortunately teachers and "smart" don't particularly belong together..... Of all the many bees in your internet bonnet, this is the one that makes you look most like the idiots you so decry. academically "intelligent" yes, but clueless. There is a BIG difference. I'm sorry you had such a poor education that you never encountered a good teacher. I didn't. I've done alright too thanks. But I have realised as the years go by that most of them are idealistic fuckwits. Then I'm sorry you had such a poor education that you rarely encountered a good teacher. oh I did, some of them knew their subjects quite well, but most of them are still idealistic fuckwits. Are you a teacher Meenzer ? Then I'm sorry you had such a poor education that your teachers rarely lived up to your exacting standards. And no, I'm not. That much should be pretty obvious really. I didn't. As I said, I've done alright thanks. Why is it obvious you aren't a teacher ? I didn't say ALL of them, just most of them. Well that's all right then. And it should be obvious because we've been on the same forum for years and years now and I've mentioned my profession and what constitutes my life experience on countless occasions, unlike some people who repeatedly refuse to do so. that's right, I don't, and I'm not going to. I've also not noticed you mentioning it either btw. Up to you. You're a skilled polemicist, I'll give you that. Making out it's someone else's fault that you don't read what other people write on here.

I'm guessing the times of day he posts scanned against the fact you could hardly manage to do that while teaching a class of kids between 9-3pm might be a clue. ...and if that wasn't a big enough clue, the fact he's mentioned his profession numerous times too of course. *Thanks for making me look like a dick, Martin. That's the kind of idealist I am. There's nothing wrong with having a high post count as long as you make sure to bash on about how often you go to the pub, anyway. Because teachers never do that.

Not if your teachers were such idealistic fuckwits that they didn't bother to actually turn up to lessons.

I was thinking the end of Les Mis.

Thing is, who says a right-winger is even necessary (sorry Leazes)? Just as Bolton carved out the 4-5-1 that became gospel for a few seasons, there's no reason we should tinker with our seemingly lop-sided formation as long as it's working for us with the players concerned. Of course it's not a long-term strategy, but nobody wanted that this season anyway.

I think the crucial difference is the "path of self destruction" interpretation - I'd only be willing to call it that if I believed half of the stories about him were more than just obvious tabloid/local press bollocks aimed at selling a few shitrags. If the same stories are cropping up in five years' time then that might be a different matter, but right now he's an easy target who's getting a bit of bad press and putting in some relegation-busting performances. I can deal with that for now.
