Be Excellent To Each Other

Doesn't 'tea' come from the word tisane, meaning infusion of herbal leaves.

Tea comes from India, stupid.

I was stunned to find out a few years back that a tea plant is a tea plant, and all the different varieties are just a result of where it's grown or how dried the leaves are.

See also - wine.

Err, fairly certain there are different variants of grape.

POTW

What about 'Yorkshire Tea'?

Oh yeah.

*trudges off to the belm thread*

You pillock.

What the fuck else would it be?

The vegetable lamb of Tartary.

Yes, there sure is!

I'm going to try Malteser ones next I think, with crushed Maltesers, not a whole one inside.

Although maybe not this week as I have 36 to make for Christening this weekend and I (stupidly) offered to make some for a birthday party I'm going to on Saturday night so I'll be spending all of Saturday morning/early afternoon in the kitchen....

We would offer to sub-contract, but... you know... crazy weird island location issues...

Why has everyone got Assassins creed avatars?

I know mine was first because I changed it when we did Batman scum

I've just looked that up. People were mental in the olden days.

Where else would you be?

Who else has one now? I noticed Grim... has one, I think. But he seems to be going through the series and might be "getting into it". He bought II off me, and he was playing the first game the other day on Xbox Live.

Dude, this island can move through space and time.

I may be getting it confused with a different island though.

What size nozzle does Kate use for the icing...? I'm not really that into piped toppings, I like it all to be a little more 'rustic' but I like the loose folds effect for some flavours/styles.

You all voted to stay in the late 80's?

Nah, it was because someone said they got confused between Alberto and Kov's posts because of their avatars. Grim... suggested everyone change to Ass Creed for even more confusion.

.........srsly? Says the man from the Fleetwood/Blackpool area.



I think you'll find the late 80's to be magnificent. My mullet is coming on a treat and I now have a pair of crimping irons too. So screw you, you hater!

Where's Chinny?

WTB was a cunt to him so he's on a break.

Ah it is nice to be copied...

Was it the bit where I called him the cancer of the forum?

I missed that.. when did you do that?

I don't know, I've blocked you.

D'aww! It's best not to bring it back up again, I guess. But I thought Chinny would take something like that on the... Regardless, I hope he comes back. I apologise if I'm genuinely the reason he isn't around. It was a somewhat heated discussion.

I think it needs its own thread.

Fixed. And those pics are fakes.

I spoke to the Chinmeister on Twitter yesterday. Don't think he's coming back any time soon!

That'll teach me for arguing with him!

Bruce Everiss has a forum. With 44 posts. 42 of those are his, the remainder from one other person asking to be a mod, and if he believes in UFOs. Granted, it hasn't been going for very long, but it's quietly amused me this lunchtime.

Won't take much for him to surpass the daily postcount on WoS, hurhur.

She uses an Ateco #855, but basically you want the biggest you can get

Amazing. I'm not too familiar with who he actually is, I've heard him mentioned a few times. He seems like a less interesting version of David Icke.

Thanks I have some large star ones, I'll do some experimenting....I think because I don't pipe the icing, I tend to make it firmer, it probably needs less sugar in to make it flow a bit better.

Many times

Forms for the rental of the property I saw on Monday are now being sent. It's ON, bitches. Only cost £1.30 for the nice lady in the copyshop to scan them all in for me.

Ace.

When's the housewarming?

So where are you moving then?

I've just found out that the pub literally over the green from our new place is supposed to be awesome. Perfect crawling home distance. There's also an independent butcher and greengrocer in the next street! All I need now is a Sunday league football team to play for and my life is complete.

Has anyone ever had any experience with moving to a new town and getting involved with sports teams/similar? I mean, if you're working somewhere, I imagine it'd be straightforward to get involved through a colleague, but I have a feeling a bunch of legal practice course nobjockeys from all over the country aren't going to be any the wiser as to how I can continue playing football regularly.

Bingley

I had one with the Swedish for immigrants school which I went to twice a week, but then I had to work when it was on so havent been able to go since june

I imagine collages? Or youth centres or something like that? maybe ask at the council office they might know some football programs or something

I'm sure the college has an active sports side to it.

Yeah, fuckin' polo or something. I was thinking about just asking in the local pubs - see if I can find out which ones have a team. Proper football. Kicking the shit out of each other in a muddy field on a Sunday morning in November.

Why not go a place where people play football? You never know.

Cool. You'll have to get involved in the currently embryonic "York meet".

You don't just turn up with your boots on and run on the pitch, you know?

I have when I started playing Rugby, and I am changing teams as I have moved closer to another..

No, but maybe, just maybe, you could talk to them about playing.
