Played chess with my eight year old granddaughter.
Havn’t played a game in 30 years and she is, it seems, a natural player and I was struggling.

Fixed that for you...

I like Terrines, never made them myself but I think it could be fun.

I made bangers, fried the last two up the other day and got two luvvly bangs, like litte fire crackers going off in the pan. Which brings be to the first rule of the banger club: Don´t fry bangers in the nude, there is a reason why they call them that. Second rule of the banger club: If you do, then...

Been kicking this around for a while and had an idea. So, what do you guys think about this..? Pork belly and shoulder aus usual. salt, pepper, sage, nutmeg, thyme, cloves. Then instead of breadcrumbs, soak oats in Guiness and perhaps a wee dram of scotch, a cheap one mind you. Perhaps supplement th...

I shared your post with a British friend who is an avid cook. Allow me to share her replies - The common banger it seems is quite an interesting beast, it seems that there are as many variations as there are posts on the internet. Lincolnshires, Cumberlands, Irish, black puddings and even haggis fa...

Well I wanted to call the thread: "Cranking my wiener" but thought different.

After eating the first one for breakfast this morning I have to admit that I am not quite there yet, but the direction is the right one. Texture was a bit too crumbly, the taste somewhat bland and the crack of biting was not in the correct envelope. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, "it invariably d...

I got a craving for bangers recently, the real ones I knew growing up in Blackburn, uniform tubes of mystery meat, served with Onion gravy, mash and mushy peas. Baked beans, HP sauce and white sliced bread. And a cuppa. The great British banger is a wonder of austerity and a curious thing in its own...

A few weeks ago my landlord sat me down and asked how long I was planning to stay in my one room pokey hole under the roof. Well the place was supposed to be temporary, a stopgap from returning from Malta to something permanent. That was six years ago, how time flies eh? Thing is it turned out to be...

I thought about it once or twice as long as my mother was still alive, but when she died I could not find a reason to move back. My kids are here as well as the grandkids and I would wilt like a primrose if I couldn´t see them, also the UK would be a foreign country, I have no assets there, no famil...

A private investigator is contacted with a job offer, and asked to come to the penthouse suite of a skyscraper. During the long elevator ride up, he can't help but wonder what the job is, and whether it's worth taking. When he finally arrives in the suite, he finds a well-dressed gentleman sitting ...

HR during the interview:
„How do you explain this four year gap on your resume?“
„That’s when I went to Yale!“
HR: „That’s very impressive. You´re hired“
„Thanks man, I really need this Yob“

I dreamed about looking after cute little Panda mice..... Never heard the term before, but the dream was so realistic that I just had to google panda mouse.... I have always been a traveling man and have been in Germany for just shy of five years now and recently my dreams have turned to travel drea...

Trying to be posh are they?

Just finished restoring a HMV 102 from 1943. Sounds great even if the soundbox is a Soviet made knock-off.
So, I am listening to shellacks.

that is what I have done up until now. Just have to remain flexible.

Oh you barbarians, a pox on your knifes and forks and people who skin their Weißwurst are Preiß´n! Regardless of where ever you come from Weißwurst is eaten by taking the Weißwurst in your fingers, with skin, dipping it in Händlmayer sweet Senf and just biting. Enjoy the Knack of the skin giving way...

I´ll drop this here.

Woke up this morning at ten to six. Got up, went for a pee, had breakfast, watched the news and around nine decided that it had been too early and that I needed to go back to sleep. Now it´s almost three and one of my precious two days off is half gone and the sink is still full of dishes and pots a...
