Thought I'd share 

 

I've got one of those gizmos that you put in the water (hot or cold) at the same time as the eggs.  It tells you whether they're soft, medium or hard.  

 

Fool proof; even I get it right every time 

See! I don't need a gizmo like that.......now 

Yes, but you're not busy smoking faaaags and swiggin' Bolly 

yeah right 

How awful Aimee

Reading up there ^^^^^^about a North/South divide over soft or hard eggs reminds me of how Mr Woo distinguishes between a Norvener and Suverener.

Apparently the North crunch their Polos and the South suck them. Have to confess I am a sucker ..........even after living in the North for years I never crunch.

Any truth in this?

*Phones editoral desk and changes headline*

It'll be a Twitter phenomenomenomenom tomorrow for sure 

my daughter uses one of those, I never think of getting it out. She's much like you... too busy smoking and boozing to be arsed clock watching 

Much as I loathe to put this in print.... I am a sucker from the south.

Threads move pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You have a wonderful daughter with a good skill at knowing her priorities, Damesy  

It is z going out for a meal is a nightmare, I'm hungry but my body seems to reject everything, I've been like this since I was little

Rog, I can't see the picture!

I can't find a nice way to say this

I suck.

As for eggs.. extra large, boiled for 3.5 mins (timed on my phone) yolk all soft and no 'snot' white - with white toast soldiers.  yummy.

Fried... preferably with frilly edges and soft yolk, on top of a couple of rashers of bacon in a roll with tomato sauce.   yummy

scrambled, slightly wet.

After lots of instruction from a fellow FM and egg addict I can now poach (eggs), but I prefer boiled.

Its Patsy with those glasses that really magnify your eyes 

I like a soft boiled egg but I can't eat them  IBS is such a pain, every I like makes me ill, down to wearing size 8 clothes because I can't find any food that suits me, I hate eating at the moment

That'll teach you to watch your eggs cooking 

Oh c'mon!! 

I have nothing to say on this matter  

I was starting and populating the 'Sand Art' thread. 

You lot can chatter at a million miles per hour. 

whaaaat?   I'm talking about the eggs, you know that, right?

Course....but they gotta be properly cooked, right? 

I'm rubbish at it, that's why I struggled to keep up with the thread 

well... mostly, yeah  - taken off the heat before they go all solid..

Don't you get sand in my eggs..!

Many a packed lunch was ruined on a day at the seaside 

I always hated sand in my trunks
