Pre-soak pulses overnight and they take less time to cook. Having said that, lentils take seconds anyway.

We'll have salad from the garden within a month. Sprouting broccoli maybe a couple of weeks after that. Planning to buy some flour to make bread and pasta and some dried yeast. As we are vegetarians we mostly eat fresh vegetables and reportedly these are still available, so I think we'll be...

Last week in our Tescos the shelves were full of toilet rolls. I thought 'thank God the people in my town aren't wankers". I didn't buy as we still had half a packet. By the weekend the shelves were all empty. Look at the state of this twat on eBay (looks like he already sold one): 3kg...

I came across Bob Servant as a Twitter account - really funny. He made two TV series and the first is currently being rerun on BBC Scotland only. He's a fictional burger-van seller in Dundee. Here's an example of his tweets. TV series worth catching.

It was on iplayer - I came across it half-way through. But I think it may have expired now.

It was repeated very recently on BBC4. But I think they may have stopped before all of them were shown, as I remember Ferdie the motorcycle delivery driver being in it more than was shown. Really enjoyed it in the 90s but it had aged. Really fun listening to all the Britpop played in the...

Not everyone thinks that Israel made the virus.

This story is being used by Corbyn's loyal band of antisemites on Twitter as 'evidence' that Israel manufactured the virus.

Most bookies have removed odds, others have shortened them - but you can still bet on Betfair Exchange. The only downside I see are that somehow they do manage to resume the season and we screw it up.

It seems to me that a bet on City winning the league at this point is a safe bet. Here's why: 1. The season's games are not going to be completed. It'll be worse in April - no way they'll start games again. 2. If the annul the season you get your money back. 3. But by any other method, I...

Wouldn't be fair. 1. Some teams may have played fewer games (Swindon/Crewe in L2) 2. Some teams may have a higher proportion of difficult games remaining. Pools panel would be fairer, albeit still imperfect.

When I was a kid, I used to write the names of all the teams in Division 1 on a piece of paper and put them in a cup. I'd then do the same with some scores and pull them out, recording the results. Every three games or so, I'd calculate the league positions. I must have cheated, because we...

To be honest, I find every word in this thread triggering. Can we just rename it 'Rejoining the EU'? On the positive side, it's likely to get far better engagement.

I don't like threads with the word 'season' in them.

Just caught 5 minutes of a report on Radio 4 with a guy explaining the announcements today. What I found interesting (not reporting verbatim and adding my impressions): 1. The panel assembled includes multi-disciplinary experts from historians to mathematicians. The correct approach IMO. 2...

My bad; I meant the play-off final.

Is he not enjoying himself up there? I hadn't seen that, what was said? One could also argue that he stayed for a lot longer than he needed to, despite clearly being able to play at a higher level. He gets maybe 12 years, 15 tops, to make some money from his talent. Have a little empathy.

I cannot see it. His skill and finishing is good enough for League 1 but I think his lack of pace will be too much of a burden in the Championship. Very happy to be proven wrong.
