It wid be 1lb beef, 2 medium onions and 1/3rd pint of stock, 1/2lb lard, 6 chopped carrots and a cup of corn flour for thickening (I know those aren’t direct size replacements but we were also guilty of using mixed measures) Roux the day we get our measurements right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There surely isnt a problem within strava, where everyone is on there for the same reason? Yes, I've never used it so have no clue how it works but I've seen a million screenshots of people's runs. It was more about all the exercising related stuff that people post, whatever their "personal trainer" has them on this month. Strava was just the most common and first thing that came to my head. Sorry Strava, I apologise. A lot of your users are arseholes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick look on compare the meerkat and it's £248 with Aviva. Direct Line can f**k off [emoji1]Both our cars came in basically the same this year and unable to do better than a fivers saving on the comparison sites, another are sneaky. Guaranteed next year they will hammer it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’ve used NFU for years. Brilliant service and prices. They do ask you lots of strange faremery questions though and have a limit on how many shotgun shells you can carry in the motor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And instead of trying to bump up the price every year it usually drops without having to haggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 People who have companies selling 'fragrances that smell exactly like your favourites but at a quarter of the price'. I don't have a problem with them selling them, it's the fact that they always say they're not copies or fakes they just happen to smell exactly like the real ones and come in boxes very similar also! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out with a woman that did this, gave me a bottle of fake Sauvage and a jumper out of Next for Valentines.

I take my wee boy out for a lot of woodland walks and the uptick in evidence of dogging in the car parks over the covid period has been insane. It's so dispiriting wanting to go and get some fresh air in nice surroundings and you are stepping over rubber johnnies and wet wipes. Just shag in your house! Sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
