  1. But if it's a new match, rather than a used one, there's no ash. I found something using Google that suggested it was to do with phosphorous, but it also said "I don't understand the chemistry behind it, but if it works, who cares?". Well frankly, I bloody well do! Why would anyone not want to know?

    I suppose the match could still be bouncing around bubble breaking? Maybe not...laugh.gif

    It's also possible that Nigella is just doing it wrong...

  2. There's a theory out there that it's something to do with the ash from the match stick breaking up the bubbles into smaller ones, meaning the egg is less likely to crack. A bit like the indents you get in a modern lager glass. Don't really see it myself..

    Just noticed it was a new match, don't know if that would change things..

  3. Again, he was one of the few target men we have completely failed to provide service for. He's got decent pedigree as did Jason Lee. Asking those guys (and guys like Higdon) to drop to the halfway line to pick up the ball is asking for trouble. All 3 of them would be scoring in our current team.

    Maybe so, but the way he seemed to sink 6 inches when he jumped seemed almost supernatural. A bit like the way Farid seems to hang in the air..

  4. If you think Kalis is the worst player I can only assume you've been going to games for about 5/6 years. He's far from the worst and Pressley's since admitted he was an emergency squad filler.

    No one got close to the sheer awfulness of Showumni for me in the last few years, though he seems to have become a bit of a cult icon at Tranmere..

  5. Time for a question that is suitably vague and probably makes no sense.

    There's a name for it, but I can't remember what it is, (think it came from a classic play or something) where everyone plays a part in a murder or a crime, so as everyone can have deniability. Does that make sense?

    Edit: The question is, if anyone knows what I'm on about, what's it called and where is it from?

    Don't know the word, but Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie had a similar if not identical plot..

    You're not thinking of the Prisoner's Dilemma?

  6. Does Tony Macaroni's count as a chain? There's one in Byres Rd and one in the Merchant City. Been a few times and the grubs usually excellent and it's pretty inexpensive.

    The one in Livingston's pretty good too. I got 3 tapas for under a tenner, tasty as well. The only thing that bugged me was getting charged extra for stale bread..

  7. Would like to see ally graham get a chance before anyone myself on his return

    Me too, but it's hard to see him getting a run of games at the moment, which he needs to prove himself. Farid is probably on for a two match ban fairly soon because of bookings, but otherwise seems pretty resilient considering the battering he gets. A spell on loan and first team football is what Graham needs in the short term. The new guy will probably be warming the bench for his return.

  8. I wouldn't worry about spoilers ruining the first episode, the David Cameron clone shagging a pig element is introduced at the very start. I enjoyed the first one much more than the second, fell asleep half way through to be honest...

  9. Quick question, if I was hypothetically looking into new year breaks, you know the deal, the sort of short notice couple type things, what websites would people recommend? Is there a decent package holiday website out there so that I don't have to fanny about with flights and hotels?

    Try easyjetholidays. I've used them before and had no problems.
