Help
Very hazy, trust me. However, my undergraduate studies lead me to believe that items in question are in the correct place to be breasts. On the other hand, the breasts I've examined have never been brown and lumpy.

Bought what looks like a very good quality 12 inch copper skillet from "St. Columba's Doo'cot" (catholic charity were I often get good stuff) for £5. Inside looked a bit funny, as the tin lining looks to have bubbled etc. So last night I put it on the hob, just got it hot enough to add the oil when I notice that the lining is melting. Some stupid non-cooking bugger had looked at the stainless steel lining and thought "Oh, that doesn't look shiney enough" and then coated the skillet with solder. Hence the melting, hence the shiny lumpy look. Will take be ages to get all the solder off.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born,
and sets a food discussion site?

I suppose it's not peculiarly British to punish miscreants with silence. If she won't discuss and won't ignore, I suspect she'd not listen to apologies either. Been there.

I assume you know that solder contains a lot of lead (or used to, I think modern versions are lead free). Before using it, I think I'd boil some water in it and send it for testing (you can usually find labs in the Yellow Pages since this is a concern with lead plumbing).

Argument to prevent a visa service charging me $75 for telling me that US green card holders do not need a visa to enter Canada for a holiday. Claim was that someone needed to "stand in line" to find out. I defeated their argument by deploying my brilliant rhetorical skills, as well as going red in the face and letting my voice tremble slightly.

I ate a tomato and it squirted all over my off-white pants.

Eye surgery went arwy. No improvent, but no damage. Have to try again. Scares me, as the results of serious failure are serious failure.

why does the robot on the phone menu lie and say "we're eager to help you?"

i'm still on hold. 45 seconds ago the robot actually asked me if i wanted a job with bestbuy. i suppose the unemployed often call the customer service lines of crap companies in hope of landing jobs.

After a delightful year of refining my tastes in food and wine, dining with Lippy and with good friends on two continents, I got the news today: a seven-pound weight gain over the last twelve months. Next will be the cholesterol results. Oy.
