    Funny (not ha ha) my daughter was talking about him being ill an hour or so ago and I responded with the idea that if nursing him I might omit the opiate from his drip until he to revealed where any other victims remains were. Then I thought I'm better than this, and him, so said I would probably end up giving him superb care and attention. My daughter did not look convinced.

    Few things make me so angry or unreasonable but the twisted control games played by his sort push me over the edge. I hope his victim's families have some sort of peace now.

    It had been reported earlier in the day that he was critically ill. Guess the diagnosis was accurate.

    GB has dropped into the lowest group for children's rights along with Central African Republic, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone and weirdly New Zealand. What a load of bollocks (a word I never use). Something tells me that if this is true....they are measuring the wrong things....mistaking legislation for the real world. A lot of countries may have legislation which is barely enforced. How do they expect anyone to take any notice of their findings when they publish headline grabbing tosh....they should concentrate on things that will improve the lives of children in terrible conditions. Don't worry if you are starving and uneducated in Ethiopia, kids....your Government has signed some convention:headbang:

    I said when poor Winnie Johnson died a few years ago that I doubt if he knew/remembered where they buried Keith. I just hope that they do find the remains soon.

    Woah there.
    How can you go on holiday when you are in the midst of a match winning matchday thread?
    Have you cleared it with the mods? :bandit:

    In fairness, Fran did mention it last week. Mind you, no-one agreed that she could go... o_O

    Oi, still waiting for that potato salad recipe. In the meantime, I took these little babies out of the fridge in order to test, as I've never tried them before. All I can say is, go and buy them now. From Lidl, and they've restored my faith in tomatoes as a fruit.

    Can't believe they've been sat in the fridge since well before the weekend and I'd quite forgotten about them. It says naturally sweet on the label. It's not kidding. Any more sweet and I'd be putting them with ice-cream or baking them in a fruit pie. Now half empty 'cause I've already eaten about 10. ;)

    Thanks, I will see if Midsomer Norton Lidl stocks them. I want to start making pasta sauces without using tinned toms, and they sound perfect.

    Hmm, I appreciate your motive, but I'm not sure about their suitability for pasta sauces, Chilco. They are naturally firm, and by scale that have a proportionally thicker skin than a much bigger tomato. These are pop in the mouth and crunch jobbies. But by all means try them. I'd like to know the outcome.

    I rarely, if ever, eat a tomato that's been stored below 4C. An enzyme that makes them taste good is destroyed forever if they have been stored below that temperature (i.e. every one you can buy).

    Grow your own. Plenty of easy to grow outdoor bush plants. Or do what a neighbour used to do; dry and plant the seeds of any tomato whose taste you like - they'll generally grow outdoors just fine. My kids called our tomatoes "sugar hearts" when they were younger. It's the food that benefits the most from growing at home; more than any other IMO.

    Yes I see what you mean about the relative surface area to volume ratio, worth a try though!

    Absolutely. Will be a fairly expensive sauce. Hope it is outstanding. ;)

    We always grow some - had beef tomatoes, plum tomatoes and bog standard tomatoes last year and will have the same this year...some in the greenhouse, some outside. I love a couple of sliced beef tomatoes, bit of good oil, bit of crumbled feta and a few black olives plus plenty of black pepper...perfect light lunch 10 minutes after picking the fruit

    There's no greater smell than tomatoes growing in a greenhouse.
