If you're after ultra-simple stuff, this pocket rocket is a steal at a mere 2 squids: http://www.amazon.co.uk/101-One-pot-Dishes...d/dp/0563522917 OK, there's nothing even remotely sophisticated in there, but it's good solid stuff.

Like your making about 4 times as many posts as anyone else in the thread you mean? The Usual Suspects are all the same person anyway. Fop will crack as soon as he realises this. I honestly expect to eventually encounter him in a grubby Soho bar at the arse-end of a quiet weeknight, clinging to a G&T with one hand and a geet big hairy bloke with the other and softly blubbing about how he's wasted his life.

Mate of mine is having an Arnie-themed fancy-dress party for his 30th. I dread to think how many Bennetts there'll be.

Could have been worse - could have been his Booky Wook.

Sorry to hear that mate. 18 years is a great innings though and I'm sure she didn't want for anything for a single moment of it.

That's probably what would worry me most about having kids of my own - having to subject them to other kids and particularly other kids' parents.

That was rubbish man.

fwiw, I always like Eater Eggs. Sorry, Easter Eggs. My apologies.

Fwiw, I always preferred Happy Eater.

Not applicable to Zinger Burgers then? Ooh, do I sense a domestic?

You can get them for not much really. Steamer was less than a tenner from Argos - no point in paying more for something that just boils water, unless you're really bothered about looks - and you don't need a huge Foreman, the mid-range ones that'll do a couple of chicken breast fillets surrounded by some veg are more than enough unless you're feeding a family.

I was going to say the same actually. Obviously it helps if you've got someone to prepare it for/with, cooking for one feels a bit disproportionate on the effort front unless you don't mind eating the same leftovers for days (or you've got a big freezer). It's well worth it though. Get a Foreman grill for chicken breast fillets, ALDI salmon/tuna steaks, peppers, courgettes etc. and a steamer for spuds, carrots, green veg and the like. Dead easy.

And the following: Laundrymen Go Granny Module Dangler Yum No Plus hundereds more I cba cutting and pasting from here "Lard Money Gun" and "Randy Glum One" are particularly worrying. Are we buying an overweight, cash-grabbing, weapon-toting, sex-mad manic depressive? Should fit right in actually.

Hey, there aren't many other benefits to living on this side of town.

Halfway down the first page. Is that a new record?

His name's an anagram of "Laundry Gnome". What's not to like?

They already do, more or less - ever flown into/out of London City? There's something distinctly unnerving about the experience.

I'm genuinely amazed Little Chef still exists, to be honest.

Aye - did they forget to tell you like? It's called 'news' - paper, TV, radio, internet - that sort of thing. Sort of thing you'll notice more if you have kids I suppose. Fucking hell Martin, did I piss in your path or something? I just thought it was a wee bit excessive, Craigford, that's all.

Even in the depths of despair, True Faith manage to slip in a few song lyric references. Sterling work.

She's legit btw, it's just been fun watching the fallout from up on my perch.

It's the love for football in general that's struggling to survive here.

There's a forced software download you can do by turning it off then holding down the "back up" button (on the box, not the remote) for a while when you turn it back on, but that's for a regular old Sky box, don't know how it works for Sky+ or whatever. That sometimes works, anyway.
