I should have started a Wimbledon Thread earlier, Usually try to watch it, but been so busy with work, I've missed most.

Just saw highlights of a class match from 2 women I've never heard of. Both women played amazing tennis. Kerber Vs Halep I think. They both hit that ball with such stunning technique. A joy to watch.

Now watching V. Williams play, I thought she would have retired by now!! To see her still hit every ball with such power! Unreal.
 
I picked up a new twitter follower today, his twitter name is canarydave!! and he lives in Orlando. Funny old world!
I follow, and vice versa, a guy from Scotland called Jon Dunn <ok>
Ironically, he's well into birds, dragonflies and wildlife in general.
We must both have a double, dave - mine's Ardbeg 12 year old if you're in the chair <applause>
 
Superb coast path walk for 6 miles yesterday, from Stiffkey to Blakeney.
Coffee in Red Lion Stiffkey, Winters golden in Anchor Morston and Old Golden Hen in King's Head beer garden, Blakeney. Loads of birds, damselflies and butterflies too <ok>
 
I see in today's EDP that there is to be a major expansion of the Mars food factory in King's Lynn due to the popularity of 'ready to heat rice'. WHY - what is SO difficult about cooking rice?????

As the others have said, it's quick and easy, leaves no pans to wash up, for those who are a bit hamfisted, it won't come out under cooked or a stodgy mess. There are a number of nice flavours. At commonly £1 a pack they are affordable too. They are also good for portion control if you would generally go over the top.
On the minus side, at £1 a pack (Some times more/sometimes less) it is more expensive than doing your own and whilst tasty with the different flavourings, these flavourings are additives and as such not all good for you. They also are a little small if you like an over the top big portion of rice!

Bah!

Try the Veetee ones if you prefer a man-sized meal, Commandant. They are more generous in size than the pouch type ones you stand on end in the microwave. <ok>

I'll have to give them a try, but I quite like couscous as well.

Is anyone else having issues with the search facility on here?

I'm trying to find old MDT's of mine from our last Championship season to make it quicker and easier for me to compose next season's threads, but all I keep getting is "Not 606 - Error" and it's been like that for a while now.

KIO
