I played a joke on Mrs Sunjester, and Orcs almost go the blame.

Which I object to, because if I'm going to do something insanely suicidal, I want to claim the glory.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I was looking at clip boards with storage on Amazon.

The Genie M800 is described as "Gummies at the clamp prevent a slipping of the papers while making notes or wind".

Can anyone explain?   :(

Obvious clerical error for "breaking notes or wind". Clear now?

You probably deserved it.

Yes, even  if not for that particular event.  ;D

My daughter went to Wetherspoons (a well known pub chain in the UK) and ordered a vegetarian breakfast with grilled tomato. Some time later, out came a vegetarian breakfast with black pudding (a type of blood sausage).  :o  You have to wonder what goes through some people's minds. Why would someone order a vegetarian breakfast with meat?

Her partner went for the full English and asked for poached eggs but was informed they had run out of poached eggs.  #-o  ;D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That makes me wonder....Could you poach an egg and then 'fast freeze it'....So it only needs to be microwaved ? (and that's why they'd 'run out' ?)

'Lunch' at Techno Towers, for the past few weeks (plus) has been home grown poached eggs.

'Home grown' eggs are SO better in taste compared to shop bought ones.

(I just wish the sodding chickens wouldn't follow me around and try and get under my feet !......OIKS !)

I knew someone would ask (I wondered myself). According to this guy (see link), you can pre-poach them and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days 'without any loss in quality' when you re-heat them. If you freeze them, apparently the white of the egg will be rubbery and not taste so good. The yolk is unlikely to be runny and will be more like a hard boiled egg.  Somehow, I don't think Gordon Ramsay in Kitchen Nightmares would approve and makes you wonder how fresh the food is at Wetherspoons.  :-B

Doesn't everybody ?  ;)

(Von still won't let me put an egg (in the shell) in the microwave and give it full power for a minute.......Or do the experiment where you get a ball of 'plasma'  zipping around the inside of the microwave....I'm not allowed to have any fun.  :()

I wasn't even allowed to do that with a really old/kn*ckered microwave (that still 'worked') in the yard.......Far enough from the house so as not to cause a worry (Probably). :-\

I AM doing that one day.......The next time we have an old microwave that's due to go to 'the tip'......And Von's not around to stop me.  :D

It's the plasma ball that I really want to try and achieve.

Cheers - Phil. :D
