    When a bloke from work, who lived in Sevenoaks, went to the USA in the 70's 'they' told him he was a cockney.

    Just watched the news for the deaf about the floods. The sign language woman gave up trying to explain Cockermouth.

    Can recall bath time in 50's having a scrub down in the kitchen sink in a couple of inches of tepid water, kitchen was referred to as a scullery. Always tried to be first for the scrub as by the time the 3rd one got in the sink the water was cold, if you was lucky mum would have the kettle on for a warm top up. Was better if the coal fire was heating the water as top ups were easier, but that didn't usually get lit until later. When my son visited in 2014 the granddaughter got her baths in the sink and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loads of houses around here have net curtains up, as do we.

    That Atora suet has been around for donkey's years Jok, grew up on it in fact. Dumplings for stews, bacon and onion puddings, steak and kidney puddings, roly-poly's, spotted dicks etc etc. When I bought my individual foil pie containers I also bought some individual 'pudding' containers, so will have to have another dig about in the freezer, as I have 2 boxes of Atora in the fridge.

    I can relate to this Wilf, got a free right hander off a bouncer in the Welcome Inn in Well Hall road when we were shuffling out, cnut just stood there grinning. Told him I would see him again, and he just grinned. Got the shock of his life 2 weeks later when my mate put him on the floor, we went there mob handed and the other two bouncers didn't even offer a challenge. I told the guvnor what it was about and he told me he did it regularly and I never saw the cnut there again. A lot of them are just fcuking bullies. My younger brother stood the doors around Eltham for a number of years, a

    Don't know what bouncers are like today, but there were some right spiteful ba5tards about in the 70's, not averse to dishing out a free right hander for NO reason, but I've got to say I would have liked to seen that doorman cave that w@nkers head in, spitting ffs, worst thing ever.

    No, I don't reheat them from frozen, they get taken out of the freezer the night before and left to thaw out. When I reheat, I always preheat the oven to about 180º C and the pie only needs about 15-20 minutes tops. My missus cooks things like shop bought pizza from frozen and even though I have a perforated non stick pizza cooking tray they invariably end up with a soggy base... yuk. Also, I am reluctant to reheat anything with pastry in the micro zapper, again it makes the pastry limp and soft. Another good tip for a properly cooked base on pies, pizzas, quiches is to cook in the lower

    Thanks mate, think they are going to be good, the fcuking dog hasn't stopped dribbling he thinks if he stares at me hard enough I'll let him have one. Should have added, be very cautious about adding any salt if using stock cubes, especially if you intend to reduce the stock, taste at the end of cooking the filling for final seasoning.

    I've been a busy lad. On saturday I dug out 4 frozen bunnies and took off the back legs, fillets and saddles. I removed all the silver skin I could and cubed the meat. Browned it in olive oil and sweated down a chopped onion and a couple of finely cubed smoked bacon. Added some dried leeks as well. Added 8 finely chopped sage leaves, and some pepper, and then made a bit of stock from 1 chicken cube and 1 veggie cube. Simmered it all for about 2 hours and made a roux with butter and plain flour to thicken what was left of the stock. Me and the old girl decided that making full sized pies wa

    Used to love it, but it was a rarity as it meant you had had roast beef for sunday dinner, and we normally had chicken or a hand spring of pork which were slightly cheaper than beef. Occasionally got a bit of shoulder of lamb, depending on the price. A sprinkle of white pepper and a pinch of salt, and always try to get as much of the brown jelly as possible.

    Paddy and Colleen were making passionate love in Paddy's mini van when suddenly Colleen, being a bit on the kinky side, yells out "oh big boy,whip me,whip me!" Paddy, not wanting to pass up this unique opportunity, obviously did not have any whips on hand but, in a flash of inspiration, he opens the window, snaps the antenna off his van and proceeds to whip Colleen until they both collapse in ecstasy. About a week later, Colleen notices that the marks left by the whipping are starting to fester a bit so she goes to the doctor. The doctor takes one look at the wounds and asks, "did you get th

    If you have got the time you could try saving the butchers labour costs by butchering them yourself. Plenty of info on t'internet nowadays to show you how easy it is, Youtube is your friend and Scott Rea gives excellent tutorials on primal cuts, boning and rolling joints (meat LOL), even the butchers knots, even how to cook it. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheScottReaproject/videos Making your own sausages isn't that difficult either, but requires some initial outlay for a half decent grinder/mincer and a sausage stuffer, but should last you years if you buy decent kit.

    My mate had one some years back, the fcuker would imitate his voice and call his Tibetan terrier, Gemma, and when it came into the room it would tell the bitch to sit. I used to crack up it was so funny, the dog was well mugged.

    My father always put a couple of washers between the wheel and the post, so it must have been a common problem, but it did the trick. Must say, at the loco depot I worked at we would use a gas powered Oliver Tom type boiler to make a brew of tea. It always had a pilot light alight and when you turned a lever the gas ring would ignite to quickly boil the water. Some of the young scallywags would hide a couple of bangers on the ring, none of them old drivers had much of a sense of humour. The chairs in the mess room were of tubular steel design, and when the old fellows were having a nap on

    They used to sell boxes of canons, a louder banger, but they were twice the price. Aerial Bomb Shells were another favourite as you could hold them and aim them.

    Looking back I can't believe how dangerous we were with fireworks. Mates dad was a plumber and there was always access to an offcut of copper pipe. If we could muster enough for a couple of boxes of bangers we used to empty them into the length of pipe, after the ends had been flattened and bent over and a hole made in the pipe with a 6" nail for the banger fuse to go into and put some mud around the join. Used to lay it on the ground and light the fuse and retreat about 25 - 30 feet away. Always made a crater and could never find the remnants of the pipe, fcuk knows how none of us ever got in
