Are Choux buns like Choux pastry that you see on bake off. I always assumed it was 'shoe' pastry because they look shoes... (that galted would probably wear)

I see the founder of North Face has died (hypothermia of all things - should have worn one of his coats) so Galted is probably devastated. I'm not expecting to see him on here till his period of mourning is over.

Yes, although I'm not sure how one would differentiate between choux pastry and puff pastry. Anyone any ideas?

Tompkins had come to see the consumer culture that his clothing companies had promoted as "another destructive manifestation of an industrial growth economy toxic to nature".

All well and good saying that after you've made your billions.

Yep. Heaven forbid people can change and grow as human beings as they mature.

Perhaps you'll do the same if that ever happens to you.

I find that the packaging on food usually reveals some kind of clue as to what the food actually is.

It's comments like that which enable Tina to streak away into a virtually unassailable lead as my favourite on here. Your love of MONO only allows you so much leeway, Super.

I bet most of the people who signed the petition to ban Trump from Britain are the same sorts who bleat endlessly about freedom of speech.

Ban him for being a monumental tool, or for having an offensive ~~toupe~~ haircut, but not for saying something F***ing stupid

I have to say, that was a very good post as well. I salute you for it. "Lezbain" - lovely stuff.

You're still a moron, but you do occasionally make me l*l out loud.

Do bakers work barefooted?

The word "Baker" comes from the latin "To go barefoot" so yes.

by Mind the windows Tino. Wed 09 Dec 2015, 2:02 pm

Did you hear about the baker who had dirty fingers?

He kneaded a poo.

I spoke to Andy at the weekend actually.

I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He was in a pub in Warrington was about all I could get out of him.

F*cking hammered by the sound of him. I should have got you to translate.

by **seanmichaels** Wed 09 Dec 2015, 2:31 pm

Would be happy to help. I become a bit more northern when drunk so will be helpful on 2 accounts.

I have managed to escape Sloane Square this Friday. Clapham only now. Should be some hefty crumpet for the taking.

Clapham is derived from the old English for having "Clap of the Hampton" so probably...

Unless one or both has subsequently offered you out then I'm not impressed. ONETWODUNCE offered to come up to Bradford to beat me up when I told him that, despite being black, he was a racist and an idiot to boot.

If your own brand of outdoor clothing isn't enough to save you from nature you don't deserve to be mourned.

Time is fluid, insurgents name flowers
Venables in a bus, imitates Moyes
Quad bikes and cold laserquest repair calories
Ceramic hob fire, for a multitude of labours

Prattling plane flower-bus, Sekonda aspect
From what l've heard herbal cum is delightful
Gramdma's plant hymen is quite a c*nt
Venables in virile time is actually a c*nt

Pulchritude created duelling monsters
That's only credible in an ominous factory
O time is thus hilarious, fingered a librarian
Renovate my mound in your new deceit

Earth's ornate flower-bus is very decorative
No, honestly, death is a lot like love
What's the time on your digital Sekonda
Lauda's scent dominates F1 pectorals.

Very marvellous, Julius.

Fist bitches. Morning Rick the Quick and Sean the Porn. Everyone up bright and early today to show who the real slackers are. Well part of Sean is still slack but that's quite a different matter.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 6:35 am

Morning Shah. Sean is robbing me of points in the sheep compo, CC2.0 was nothing like this...

SIck

Edit: No he isn't but he cannot spell "rich"....

by **ShahenshahG** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:03 am

Cant mock him too much for that I made a similar mistake and made a joke you would have gotten instead I ended up looking dopey.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:18 am

I keep thinking it is Friday today, which normally would be a p1sser but as I am off tomorrow it is fine...

Gotta take those wins where you can get them.

by **ShahenshahG** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:23 am

Aye full shift for me today till 10 pm then a long weekend. Sex, Drugs, Mock and Roll.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:34 am

I am hping to get away sharpish today, it is the works christmas do tonight so I expect that the amount of F***s that people give will dissapate as the day goes on, allowing me to go early and get on it with any luck.

Then lie in, in the morning and session tomorrow also...

by **seanmichaels** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:54 am

Morning.

In early rick? I am joining you in booking tomorrow off. Need my barnet trimmed and some new clothes for my trip to Larndon. Then kick off some early afternoon drinking.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 7:57 am

Just seen a pic of a West Indian bowling a no ball in the test LD. Guy at our club who used to be a pro all rounder sent me it in an email entitled 'That isn't possible to do by accident'.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 8:39 am

Spoiler:

by **Pal Joey** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 8:43 am

Only saw a few overs where they lost 2 wickets in quick succession, so I switched off for a while. Missed that no ball. Way, way out!
When I had another peep by late afternoon I was expecting 7 or 8 down... not a 300+ run partnership.
I thought Warrican would cause more trouble but the pitch dried out somewhat as the day wore on.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 8:46 am

I've only seen a no ball like that from Mohammed Amir....

Took a box of Mr Kipling Frosty Fancies to the writers' group Xmas gathering last night, but no-one opened them so I brought them home again, along with the secret santa gift that I'd received at random - which was a box of Mr Kipling Frosty Fancies.

I have our Christmas meal tonight and the dress code is 'zany' Christmas jumpers. I don't own one and quite frankly never want to.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 10 Dec 2015, 9:04 am

Well the general definition of Zany is un-conventional...

So if you want to break convention, don't wear one, and you will be filling the brief.

Awkward Jules but not surprising in this day and age. At least you'll have a good supply of Mr Kipling Frosty Fancies.

Saved this anecdote for my 46,000th...

On Monday this 65 y.o. Nepalese man turned up here offering to do some odds jobs. It felt like a nice communal gesture or offering at the time.

Thought I'd do the right thing so I handed him a paint brush and he went straight to work.
He did about 6 hours a day... blistering heat yesterday and pretty hot today as well. I suggested he concentrate inside rather than out.
I didn't understand a word he said. He only talked to me in Nepalese and looked confused when I said I couldn't understand him.
Very peaceful old chap... always a smile on his grey-bearded dial.

Gave him $447.70 or £296.06 for about 3-4 days work... about 18.5 hours.
That's about $22/hour + GST (VAT) £14.50/hr... or about 5 bucks over the minimum wage here.
Is that too much or too little? Anyway, I feel happy for the guy. He obviously wants to be active and feel involved in something.
