The Hornet's Nest

Hi all - only one thing happening in Wales at the moment - the Rugby - and Wales are 3-0 up There are 61,000 watching it on screens at the Millenium stadium - more than at the actual match

 

We use skimmed milk since Mrs L's heart attack but I confess to using full fat milk on the rare occasions I have cereal

 

Blimey - IKEA sell meals? The things you miss by living in the sticks!

Are they flat pack?

 

Back in the day of course before I joined up and we used to get our milk delivered at home, there was always a battle in the morning to see who could get the cream from the top of the bottle of milk! Oh happy days

 

The meals are actually good value and tasty Not worth a trip just to go for a meal but it does fill a gap if you are there at lunchtime or even earlier for breakfast

 

And in winter, when the milk on your doorstep was frozen and a lovely creamy ice lolly had pushed the lid off - yum!

 

Hell yeah, I used to have a paper round and sometimes, just sometimes I used to borrow the odd bag of milk and drink it on my way round the streets

 

that was us too...i can't wait to see if the milkman brings cream on the top of the milk now i've changed the order..it was lovely with a banana!

 

what's a bag of milk??

 

Did you not have them down south?

 

no, we had bottles...i don't think i've ever seen a bag..

 

H, here you go:http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=70...&w=368&h=400&ei=zEqZTsHpI9PE8QO42N3VBQ&zoom=1

 

Nope, definitely never seen anything like that before!

 

What a sheltered life you southerners have had They were a nightmare, they used to fit in plastic holders but inevitably the milk went everywhere

 

i can imagine! Very sorry i missed out on the fun of bagged milk! lol

Ah well, sadly i have to flit, and may not be back before the match...so...congrats on the 18,000 in advance Nesties, and see you all after the win

Have a great day! COYH!!

Take care H, catch up later on!

 

Hmm - 'flit' must have a different meaning down there?

 

Morning all. I have never used a bag of milk but i know thats what they use in Costa.

The French are lucky twerps!!! They play ****e in the group stages and then scrape through in the quarters and semis. I did not see the sending off so cant comment on that, but the commentators seem to think that was cruel and decided the match.

UPDATE- i have seen the sending off and it is no way a red card. It was simply a dump tackle. Even Francois Pienaar agrees it was harsh!!

 

Harsh maybe, but if it been a Frenchman would did the tackle would there be this discussion?

 

I would back up any team who lost having been given such a disadvantage. Its the Semi-final for crying out loud, it kills the game there and then.
