Very simple and tastes better than most shop efforts. The only shop ones I'll get are M&S 'rostis' which I refuse to label as anything other than hash browns. Onion through them makes a huge difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 18 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: Where do you stand on people who say "zeen" in Alan Gilzean, but "ain" in Culzean? Eta: Stewart Petrie's name is one that I wonder about. Having met a few folk with the surname Petrie around NE Scotland where it's evidently fairly common, they all say 'Pet-ray'. The only time I've heard "Peet..." used is in reference to Stewart Petrie, and only from fans. Any Dundonians (I presume SP is from that neck of the woods) out there heard this Peet version elsewhere? I had a Petrie in my class - was pronounced Peetree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, tonight, I found this headline in the online Independent... "Farewell Franz Beckenbauer, the last of football’s immortals". A dead "immortal". FFS. I'll away back to my pedant's corner now. The original radio 'Only An Excuse' , when it was a very funny one off parody of 'Only A Game' and not the Hogmanay horror show of recent years, featured that very joke....."one of the immortals, he's died now of course". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lazy poster would have linked Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash, but this is better. It also highlights my avant garde taste in music, thus elevating my standing in the on line community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Royal Mail not only delivering a parcel to the wrong address, but sending you a proof of delivery photo showing the 'safe space' as being inside somebody's wheelie bin, on Bin Day Eve. Thankfully there was just enough to quickly work out the address from the photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The fact that I can do pretty much everything I need to regarding my Sky TV account online. Except cancel it of course.

I enjoy watching food content videos and found a lassie called KarissaEats. She's a fucking darling and eats in some cool places so flick through her videos. Her voice though. Fucksake. Can't be any worse than the two that do food reviews for the Courier surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only chat bot until you insist for about the 10th time you want to cancel then you get a human. Just be patient. Much better than hanging on the phone. You can do other things whilst you wait and it doesn’t lose your place or close down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
