I haven't seen that advert.  I'm looking for new furniture.

i've just bought this table.  But not the chairs as I want something more colourful chairs for my new kitchen.

there's a woman on The Chase atm that's a dead ringer for the trannie on BOTS

I should never have started playing words with friends on facebook   As if I don't spend enough time online!!

Ells, I play that on my iphone, there's no escape.

Kaffy, I'm watching the chase on +1 so I've just seen her.

Ooh! just read this post ^^^^ and now I've got this ↓↓↓↓ ad.

I'll have a look at that Fluffs.  Although I want fabric covered chairs.  I found a website today the chairs were lovely and you chose the fabric etc.  BUT they were £649 per chair 

Why is it that certain margarine tub lids (Flora ie.) develop a small cut on one corner and from then on never close properly again, resulting in the tub falling out of your hand in the process of getting it out of the fridge?

My mate has those leather chairs in red.  They brighten up the whole kitchen and she just has a few wee bit of red dotted through the kitchen.

I'm addicted to angry birds on chrome aswell as mahjong on my lappy while watching Grey's Anatomy 

Aww.... Hubby's tub of Flora seems to be behaving itself ok.

So you've ordered 6 obviously

Plus a spare in case of ....... erm ........frotter damage 

I really do wonder about your home life sometimes Cinds

Frotter damage

Soozy the sad thing is it's probably EXACTLY as you imagine it to be. 

Actually I have a question for you.  Do you sell curry sauce in your chippy?  I was wondering why some chip shops put them lumps of something (which sometimes include sultanas) in to the curry sauce.  It saddens me 

Unfortunately yes we do sell Curry Sauce - I find it quite disgusting myself but it is very popular. It comes in a mix lumps and all - eeeeeeeeeeugh.

I am a Southerner and have lived up North for 25 years. IMHYCO the gunk that Northern chip shops sell makes me . There is no place for beans, mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce in a chippy (there I've said it).

Fish and Chips should be served with giant pickled onions and wallies (giant gherkins). I'm very saddened to say that two of my three kids love chips with gravy - it's just not right.

As for Mr Woo he is an inbred mongrel (yorkie that lived down South for years) - he adores wallies and mushy peas but ................................he don't do the gravy/curry/beans thing.

Whoooooooooooooo - I'm guessing I've stirred up some controversy here.

I love curry sauce or gravy on fish and chips, just not the lumpy curry sauce.  If I'm having gravy I'll have mushy peas as well.  But god forbid anyone puts beans anywhere near my chips.  It's just one of those strange little quirks I have that bean juice should not contaminate chips.

This would horrify me.

(saying that I rarely eat chips anyway)

ION I'm just catching up with the newspapers. A double page article in t'Grauniad described breadline families and their difficulties in buying food. "We have to eat junk food because healthy food is too expensive!"

Is it just me? Surely junk food is more expensive than any other.

I knew you'd be in here GJ. Mr Woos family had a chippy in Thirsk (well Sowerby) for many years. For those who are interested - an article on Fish and Chips.

http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/FishChips/

gravy and curry have no place with fish.     On chips on their own - fine, but with fish it's just plain wrong.

Been there. I used to have a bob's worth of chips. We actually travelled the nine miles to Sowerby just to go that chippie. Lovely village too.  In my IHYCO fish has no place with chips. (The first "I" stands for "increasingly" BTW)

I love curry on fish!

I just love curry....I'd eat it with anything and when I was a kid I used to go to the chippy on a cold night and buy a cup of curry and sip on it

How long ago Joe? Was it Land and Sea then?

That's my opinion too Joe.  

I was talking to a taxi driver recently who told me he had a regular fare of a woman taking a taxi from her house in Cowgate to a Greggs shop nearby where he would wait for her then take her home once she had bought the sausage rolls for her kids to suck on. (while the pastry flakes stick to the snot candles that never get wiped)  

Makes the junk food even more expensive.

Also, what does IMEHYCO & NFI mean?

And the way you describe it - even more unappetising 

In my equally humble yet curmudgeonly opinion

No effing idea.

I believe that the amphibians had hit land yes!

Well before his time, about 1966 I should think!

Thank you.

I will forget and more thank likely ask again 

Nope - his Dad built the shop in 1966 - he was the tatie boy and later the frier there with his mum. He left for London in 1971!

Did he have a handkerchief full of sandwiches tied to the end of a stick when he left? 

Pretty much the scenario Cinds He thought the streets were paved with gold in that there Loondon- he was wrong but ...............he did find a beautiful princess and lived happily ever after.

I get he looked splendid in his plus fours and red slippers. 

Husband here is regretting the vindaloo he had last night. 

Soozy, is the kitchen finished yet?  And do we get to see a picture?

Almost - you must have realised that the moaning has stopped 

I've got the tiles and am awaiting a date from the tiler - I need a bit of replastering where the plumber had to knock a hole through to the gas meter and then - ALL DONE! I am very pleased with it even as it stands. I can't do piccies but will try and get my daughter to do one when it's completed.

Exciting.  Have you cooked in it yet, or are you waiting?

I've been cooking in it for a week or more - then Mr Woo went away and I wasn't able to get the tiles I wanted - that's why it's hanging on but I am all au fait with it now. I'm cooking at the moment actually!

What ya cooking?  I'm cooking nothing at the moment, trying to empty my cupboards and freezer, so I am feeding them, pasta/rice/frozen/chips with ketchup.

Do you listen to Chris Evans of a morning Cinds? He's doing an annual Empty the Freezer thing at the moment!

I do, when I'm up and out of the house early enough  

I know he did a thing this morning about trips/holidays that never happened, I'm sure if I had emailed in I would have got the number 1 spot.

To be honest, I'm usually on my way in when he has the 'thought of the day' thing going on.  I was up early today 

I've never heard his thought for the day ... mind you - I am at work at 7.30 am
