What is going on here CLP? 4.15? Try 9pm chuck!

AF x

Bums. Not going to say it all again.

Welcome Chris - is it the Blog Police checking your post, after your Gay comments yesterday?

xxx

So, we'll carry on here then.

I know the very butchers you mean Chris.

Not that well, being a veggie, of course.

Anyway. The book list is on the other page, my wine glass is dry and I have to catch up on the Masterchef goings-ons of the past few days, so I may see you later.

Peace

MfR

Hello!

has everyone come over?!

mSc x

Oh bless you CLP, I bet your mum was well chuffed that you did that. The butcher too I expect. Hope that you enjoyed your steak tonight however big it was.

Hmm but agree with AF, bit of a delay with your blog reaching us again. Butter up Interactive Ian with one of those steaks and get him to sort it out.

Debbie x

Hello Deb and MfR (again), Scooby, Beesmum (ooh, that was close, only a couple of biccies left. Well they are posh ones so you only get a few!) and Annie too. Mwah!

AF xx

ps good on you CLP, that was a lovely thing to do. Do you do weddings, cos there's a few coming up on here ;-) Have to say, I'd be quite chuffed with 10 big steaks for a few minutes' work too lol.

I LOVE a rare fillet steak - but other half a veggie..so i am good and dont have one very often at home..although he doesnt mind..

really fancy one now - with pepper sauce, new pots, brocolli, carrots etc... yum yum..

mSc x

pps don't take this the wrong way, but is Tarby still... well, "with us"? I wasn't sure...

Annie, just gone back to previous blog. If CtD was indeed sitting in a puddle in the Micra tonight we should recommend some 'Tena Ladies' don't you think?!

x x x

Haha nice one Deb!!

Scooby, I don't eat steak much either. Nowt to do with vegetarianistic (imagine how many points you'd get for that!!) tendencies, it's just that I always think when I'm out that I could have that at home, and I like to order things that I wouldn't have at home if I'm eating out. But then somehow I never actually *do* have it at home.

I prefer a nicely grilled pork chop really.

AF x

AF I do the same thing when I eat out (rarely these days!)

I never order scampi, anything with pasta or chicken.

I don't cook steak often, so sometimes that's a real treat, with a jacket potato, veggies and pepper sauce most definately.

x x x

AF - Urgh - pork - devil meat! eat most things but cant get my taste buds round that! although love a bacon buttie! and i do know what u mean about can have it at home - buts its always cooked SO much better by someone else!

mSc x

And apologies to any vegetarians on here with our meat discussion!

mSc x

Me again

Chris: that was such a nice thing to do - and without any thought of payment.

Don't do butchers myself - as a veggie I just can't stand the pong!

xxxx

You're right Scooby. Dad lives in North Yorkshire and they have loads of those little country pubs that do the great food. The steak has tempted me a couple of times!

Don't really mind most meat to be honest, though I do draw the line at liver. Bleurgh.

Oh, and KFC.

AF x

Yesterdays blog was timed at 3.26 and appeared half way through the evening too!

I just love steak - local butcher locally reared only though. Smack me bottom just curried two of their free range chicken breast fillets. yum

All present and correct then?

Beesmum xxx

Ooh yum Beesmum..sounds delish.

and yeah- bless CLP - he`

scoob I put on yesterdays blog had he forgotten to hit enter!

BM xx

try again - over zealous post finger!

bless CLP - hes a sweetie isnt he.

If anyone ever up/down here in the not the most delightful part of Yorkshire than i shall take them to a new restaurant that does the best steak ever - cant bring myself to try the rest of the menu cos the steak is so good!

Making myself hungry now - off to seek out `H` sweets i hid from myself!

mSc x

A bit like our emails at work, only in reverse. Got one yesterday that was time-stamped 12.24 and it was only 11.15!! Fair disappointed me when I realised...

AF x

Lol Beesmum - i have a poorly little finger (got a staple down the side of it and its gone all manky) and i cant type properly - my excuse and i sticking to it!

mSc x

Yes Scooby, I'm sure the wine has nothing whatsoever to do with it ;-)

Now what about a nice gammon steak, lovely. But I don't get the slice of pineapple on top. Fried egg? Oh yes.

x x x

LOL AF! I'm going to drink wine until I can't type properly. Or I fall asleep on the keyboard. Hang on....I can't type properly without wine most of the time.

x x x

Deb, don't fall asleep on the keyboard hon, the imprint the next morning really isn't pretty!!

My excuse, aside from the wine(!), is a trapped nerve in my left arm which means my little finger is numb, and has been for a couple of weeks now. Orrrrrr, there's the wine, of which I need more. Back soon.

AF x

AF, Deb in the morning isn't pretty full-stop. The imprint may help!

I'm off to watch a bit of rubbish on tv, will be back shortly.

x x x

Ah - yes - the wine AF..you spotted that bit?! hee he e


mSc x

evening,

you lot are all making me want a nice big glass of red and a big juicy steak for dinner. The future mr dragon is away so I could treat myself. However, with the him-becoming-mr-dragon event only 4 (eek!) weeks away and a certain dress that's already been let out once, its salad for dinner for me with a lovely glass of water. I might even push the boat out and put a slice of lemon in the water. *sulk*.

mmmmmmmmm steak..... drooling now. must stop.

Dragonxx

Obviously not worrying enough dragon - my dress had a belt and was taken in twice before the day!

BM xxx

Ooh, I hated my dress. Couldn't move for standing on it, and it was just *everywhere*. Might go part of the way to explaining why I'm divorced.......

Dragon, am sure you'll look gorgeous on your big day. And four weeks isn't a long time to be a rabbit, is it? Then have the big juicy steak and wine after :-)

AF x

Bless you Dragon -could u have sparkly water - make it a BIT more interesting!

And AF - meant to say sorry bout the trapped nerve - painful - hope its getting better..

mSc x

PS - found the sweets! X

I was hoping stress would be my friend Bsmum, but alas it's being my enemy and making me eat bad food, which is having the opposite effect!!!

Happy friday wine club to you all, I'm in the middle of making tomato relish and I think it needs my attention!!!

Dragonxx

Blimey AF that just reminded me - had steak with stilton sauce on first night at honeymoon hotel - never been able to copy sauce it was just out of this world!

BM xx

recipe please dragon - am collecting -having loads of toms this year and did you say you were freezing? how and for what?

BM xxx

Hallo again.

Just beaten Bsmum at Wordscraper - not.

AF: Had a trapped nerve in my arm some time ago - not nice at all. Poor you.

Hallo to wine drinkers and water drinkers.

xxxx

Anyone else having trouble getting on to Scrabble - or is only me?

AND: FB threatening to change to the new site soon. Can't understand it!

xxx

Can't keep up with you annie just popped over as must be my turns and you come back here! Off to catch up then back in a mo

BM xx

yeh error keeps coming up - go back then in again and it seems to be there!

tried the new fb and took off again - have a feeling it is designed to get rid of old gits like me!!! Can't follow!

BM xxx

Hehehe, keeping you on your toes.

xx

I'm watching Mock the Week on iPlayer, I do love that show. My brother's going to see Frankie Boyle live later on this year - am so jealous!

AF x

ps thanks ladies! The trapped nerve isn't so bad, I had it before, lasted a couple of months or so. At least it's not (most of the time) painful.

Still got an empty wine glass. You just can't get the staff...

Got it. My turn in 9 games. May be some time.

x

Hate new FB - we need to all join the petition to keep it as it is.

My wedding dress was lovely - enjoyed every second of it - and ordered it in a size i knew id get into ok! (Dragon - i eat when `im stressed too - bad genes!). Shame the husband didnt last as long as the dress (its still in my loft!)

Right -off to beddy byes now - got to work tomorrow...but be warned- this time next friday i will be a giddy little scoobycat as i will have finished work for 2 weeks - cant wait!

Cheers and goodnight to all...sweet dreams..


mSc x

Night Scooby!

AF x

Ooh AF - ive just downloaded MtW on iplayer to watch over weekend...and yesterday booked to see Frankie in Nov - spooky! and for want of being a stuck record - if u can get to see Dara live - go - be the best night out in ages!

Enjoy!

mSc x

I'd love to see Russell Howard too!!

hope all the trapped things and sore things are resolved quickly.

AF - you're right, can't eat like a rabbit for 4 weeks, will have to think of something else. Like food too much!!!

Bsmum tomatoes for the freezer, some I chopped up and put in bags to use instead of tinned in stuff like spagbol, and pasta sauce, and some I cut in half and put in bags to have on toast or grilled etc, they don't defrost too well, but are great for cooking with. I haven't made relish before but my Dad's used it before and said it was good. I'll FB you the recipe. Unless anyone else wants it too??

Dragonxx

Brilliant thanks dragon - do a lot of chopped tom cooking so will be great - do you skin first?

Scoob look forward to next fri wine club - will you be on line like I am in bolt hole? Nite xx

BM xx

Dragon - consolation - stress before wedding lost weight - stress since - other way totally! 4 weeks time skinnier here you go! hehe!

BM xx

Thanks bsmum - my mum keeps saying it'll all drop off the week before - just hope she's right!!

I didn't bother skinning before freezing (toms!) but have also cooked up some tomato sauce (onion, garlic, herbs, tomatos), till it was pretty thick and squished it through the sieve and froze that too! will probably use it with pasta or maybe in a casseroley thing. Just seemed like a good idea at the time!!

all ideas to use up tomatoes gratefully received!!!!

Dragonxx

Do you make them Dragon? Sorry, I mean grow them of course...

AF x

Now I come to think dragon the last "take in" was 3 days before!!

BM xxx

AF I got a bit too enthusiastic when I planted the seeds, then couldn't bear to ditch the extra ones and planted them too!! so I have 12 plants all going bonkers. Hadn't quite taken into account how quickly everything would grow here with the green house atmosphere all summer.

Dragonxx

Bsmum, last fitting is booked for 4 days before so am hoping it'll be enough time for magic to worked if necessary!!!

Dragonxx

Right. Thrashed everyone on FB (maybe) and am off to bed with Tony Parsons.

Night all.

xxxx

Night Anne, be gentle with Tony.

Ahahahahaha.

Oh dear, the drink's getting to me!!

AF xx

No problem Dragon - sure you will look great!

BM xxx

Dragon - pics on FB post-event please!

AF x

nite anne, AF I'm sure they'll be some about!! btw - it's nice to see you back!

Dragonxx

they'll? eek, must be strong water. try there'll. never was any good at English!!

Dragonxx

Ah Dragon, I've had nearly a full bottle of wine, what's a "there" between friends!!

Thank you for the welcome back, the atmosphere seems to have improved over recent weeks so I thought I'd dip my toe again.

Never ceases to amaze me that here we are, chatting away to each other, and yet we're miles away from each other, and you're across an ocean.

AF x

Agree dragon nice to see af back
Still smiling about the shoe comment earlier and others on the old tune title front - howled out loud!

just watching wrossy on the box - mad as ever! and flight 93 before - sad film.

BM xx

Beesmum, my fave was Diva's "She's Electric" comment - laugh out loud funny. And I read MV's next comment the way it should have been and though OMG HE CAN'T SAY THAT ON HERE!!! Oh dear.

Giggling to myself like a good 'un here!

AF x

Oh, and now I'm thinking, is MV a he or a she, I can't remember. Or can't keep up more like...

Another glass and mv can be either! she's a she! and those were ones getting me howling too! I must look a right nut sitting in office all on own giggling away there!

BM xx

Better than giggling away in front of other people Beesmum. Remember a few occasions like that on the bus with a funny book. But then the other passengers are all nutters anyway...

Just thinking about Oasis now. Ex was a huge fan, and I'd have rather gouged out my eyes with forks than listen to them for a long time (same way I felt about watching Friends too) but I could be liking a few of their tunes now. Might just have to download a few and see how I feel!

AF xx

Hey Beesmum. And Dragon. What do your other halves do while you're doing this? Just wondering, me not having an other half any more...

AF xx

fell asleep in chair - now gone to bed - spare room - goody - whole bed to self again for my - hopefully - lie in tom! shouldn't say that - doggy will prob wake me up 5am!

BM xxx

I'm hoping for a lie in to Beesmum, at least past 7.30! Will be shutting the cat downstairs I'm afraid....

That you gone for the night?

AF x

btw with first git this would have been a life saver!!!

BM xxx

nah I'm a one o clocker fraid - always been a night owl and hate mornings - should have been a night worker!!

BM xxx

Ah, you had to kiss more than one frog then?

AF x

The songs were hilarious! Good blog today, even if there's something weird with CLP's new blogs arriving very late!

The future mr dragon is usually at work during the day and by the time he's home most people have abandoned blog for the day cos we're 5 hours behind! He doesn't mind me blogging but doesn't really get it either. He said he'll come with me to the meet in Oct though, if we can make it. 'cos he doesn't want me to go on my own. bless him.

Dragonxx

Great little poem Boleyn girl.

Thanks for that.


PP

Enjoy your lie-ins tomorrow, I think the relish is ready to be put into jars so am off to do just that!

nite all!

Dragonxx

Ah dragon thats lovely bagpuss always drags other half along in case she gets attacked!! bless! Would love to go along - someone do a video so we can watch would be good!

AF I kissed more frogs than I care to remember and very few princes!

BM xxx

Hello PP, and night Dragon! Or, should that be, good evening...

TTFN anyway!

AF xx

Nite dragon - happy preserving - AF just catching up on games on fb - see you there!!

BM xxx

Beesmum, I'd love to go too, but would cost too much and I'm having a frugal few months leading up to Christmas. Maybe next year? Could pick you up on the way down!!

AF x

However the blog seems to have been taken over by one person and the rest of the WI .. filling jars... accused of hanging around by MFR so I bid you farewell and I promise won't try to rock the boat no more...

I just think it's a shame that you all can't enjoy a sense of humour.

As for Face Book totally childish

PP

Don't do it!

Then I'll have nobody to talk to.


TTT

So, Plum, would your comments be directed at me or Beesmum this evening? Cos we're the only one here right now.

As for me, I couldn't care less for your spiteful comments, although I am getting sick and tired of them. In short, you bore me.

I can't stop you from blogging here, and indeed don't agree with censorship of any kind and so wouldn't. It does perplex me that you insist on continuing despite your evident disdain however.

But, this has all been said before. So, blog away and I, like many others, will just ignore you.

AF

yes AF I have been ignored for a long time by the in crowd it don't bother me none. I do find it a shame that lot's of bloggers have gone though ... Spiteful not me...

Big Chris Evans fan not a chat room person myself. So Over to you and the ladies.


good evening.

Totally agree AF but as you say been said before!

BM x

PP shame you are not on fb any more - bloggers gone because of you do you think?

BM

B's mum I very much doubt that.... the blog was full of interesting people once upon a time, now it has ben downgraded to cling on's everyone moves on when conversation falls to such dreary depths.

Oh, it's got nothing to do with the "in crowd". It's about not being insulting to other people.

You might not agree with what's being discussed, but try to be more creative and constructive with your criticism, rather than just attacking individuals. It gets very old, very quickly.

Oh no, not again.

Too tired, too much wine consumed. Must go to bed very soon.

PP

Kind of think that I shouldn't comment but I will. Loads of people have responded to your posts lately. I think you just like to stir thing up for the fun of it. Very naughty!

Did you see BB tonight?

Debbie x

Very true AF - PP what was your interesting point re blog 176 or thereabouts on previous blog -?? and several others I could mention? The last one I can remember was about 2/3 weeks ago to scoob with a poem?

BM

eh?? what? where did all that just come from?? can't we all just get on together? please?

Dragonxx

Oh 'ello Dragon, you back again? Hows the tomatoes?

AF x

I think I am in the minority so carry on PP is leaving the building. so you are quite safe.

Dabbie no idea about BB probably the blind nutter won it.

PP

Just to say yet again, you may be in the minority, but you are not alone.


TTT

Hi dragon - all bottled up and ready to go?

BM xx

TTT I am looking to blog elsewhere free of jam jars and tomotoes in brown paper bags.

PP

Where's the fun in that?

Let's just keep tilting at wildmills and having a laugh.

I will if you will.

TTT

I'm quite fond of brown paper bags myself. They help with the panic attacks, if you breathe into them.

Dad seemed to think it would work with a plastic bag a few weeks back, but I near choked myself......

AF x

No TTT The end is nigh you can always email me of course

AF All very well recommending brown paper bags but where do you get them these days?

BM

Dad naughty person!

yep, all in jars and quite tasty! Think it will be a good burger relish, or liven up a cheese sandwich nicely.

Dragonxx
