No money left (spent the last cents on beer)
Wondering: "Who`s that in my bed"?

*sigh*

today is saturday and i am at work - thats bad enough!

the worst thing is that our IT systems get really busy on a saturday so we stop any development we are doing, and literally just sit there and watch graphs and charts - babysitting the damn computers!

tedious in the extreme! *yawn*

hence my gratuitous posting today!

glad i dont have to work sundays tho! :yawn:

Well, working saterday are bad too.

Where and with what are you working?

Posted: **01 Jan 1970, 01:00**

i work for a rather famous firm of bookmakers (ie: gambling) - hence we hget a bit busy on saturdays!

i look after their e-betting website. mostly these days it ticks over quite nicely and i only have to fix the odd bug now and then...

Posted: **01 Jan 1970, 01:00**

OK! So you are a gambler then?

I playd on english football to day. I use to do that on saterdays. In Sweden we call it "stryktipset". We plat on 13 games. 1 for win, X for draw and 2 for loss.

I use to get between 8-11 rights, but it`s no good money then.

You have to score 12 or 13 to get rich.

Someday I will.

September - April chez moi, nous sommes les rosbifs, vin rouge et Stilton.
Mai - Aout, chicken salad, Morrison's hock and ice-cream.

All prepared by my own fair hands, accompanied by early Sinatra and Stella.

I still live with my Mum Francis she is a wonderful cook, satisfied that you have humiliated me now?

Bastid!

Filo - is that a pastry thing?

My Mum does a blinding one with puff pastry and roast potatoes to kill for.

Moi aussi.

James Blast wrote:Manicotti

Que?

James Blast wrote:Prawn Cocktail

Pam says I put too much thousand island dressing on, but I just can't help myself!

James Blast wrote:Mince (as in meat) pie

With ale?

James Blast wrote:Poussan avec potato crisps (no laffing, yer kids would love it, ask me for the recipe)

I await your PM...

James Blast wrote:Steak, egg and homemade tattie scones

Steak, chips, fried mushrooms, tomatoes and Bird's Eye peas for me. Egg on gammon steak was luxury when I was a student.

James Blast wrote:Coronation Chicken

Makes a nice sandwich.

James Blast wrote:she also does stuff I don't eat:

School dinners put me right off this. But I only married Pam for her sister's sherry trifle.

Hell, I've got to go and raid the fridge now...

OK Mr. Harry (still find it hard calling you Francis)

Chicken In Crisps:
take a chicken breast (free range of course)
prick it
cover in HP Tomato sauce (other brands, and flavours are available)
crunch up a bag of Smokey Bacon (or other desired flavour) crisps*
cover the tomato'd breast in the crunched crisps (pat well in, both sides)
into a hot oven, 200 c for 17mins
serve with chips, or whatever takes the childrens' fancy

*alternatively, put them in a 4 year olds satchel for 24hrs

Posted: **01 Aug 2004, 16:02**

You can't be serious? Chicken breast coated in crisps?

I'm sorry, that slightly upsets me. If you want a bacon flavour with the chicken, why not wrap it in a rasher of bacon? Or did I miss something crucial?

And if you used other flavours .... the mind boggles.

Just finished one of my own Sunday specialities: flash-fried chicken breast wrapped in parma ham, with a white wine and mustard sauce. And not a crisp in sight!

And now, since I'm having an argument with her ladyship, I'm going to devote a chunk of this afternoon to baking cookies. It's a comfort thing.
