The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

well seen as were talking about dangerous experiments and as i appear the be the violent rogue in my childhood from the other thread about childhood memories ill tell some more stories.

when i was about 11 or 12 i was good friends with some person from school whos garden we used to use to conduct experiments. we made countless fires with parafin, meths and petrol and conc. sulphuric acid was used on occasions.

one time he decided he was going to breath fire after seeing someone do it at a fair so he swigged a bottle of parrafin and breathed it onto a medievil torch type thing we had made and singed off his eyebrows and fringe. funny stuff.

another time (not involving me) him and another friend made a long line of petrol to ignite like in films. however they used a watering can. when they lit one end it travelled straight up and even though the second person was standing a good few metres away (next to the watering can) the flames lit the vapour trail in the air, down into the watering can which caused a flash flame to shoot up out of the hole at the top and burn my friends arm. immediately he rubbed it like you would but all the skin rubbed off in his hand and he had to go to hospital.

weve also blown up several aerosol cans and slammed metal doors (leading to tennin courts) while they have plastic lighters in the hinges.

Yorkshire pudding's easy - use a metal oven dish though, it doesn't work as well in glass ones for some reason.

Conflicting advice on Roast potatoes

Heat the oil until HOT

Or put the spuds in the cold oil

Apparently you have to put in "flourery" spuds - whatever they are?

Thanx al those of you who PMed me re this...

Next week I'll need a Yorkshire Pud recipe please - just like mamma used to make

Yeah maybe "Spud of the Week"

Apparently, according to Delia Smith, you have the oil hot before putting the spuds in....

Shall I start a Potato Thread?????? :lol:

You should maybe consider joining a support group.

"Hi everyone, my name's Bridgie and I love potatoes"

Yorkshire pudding:

chuck two eggs, 150gm flour and about ooh, 3/4 pint of milk in a bowl, beat until it has the consistency of non-drip gloss (you can always add more milk, flour as required if it starts looking too thick / too runny). Pour into a metal oven dish and cook for about 20 minutes / half an hour at around 200 degrees and serve.

(You may want to change the quantities depending on how many people you're feeding - Pond Life, just halve the amounts and that should do for one person). ;)

Alternatively, go down sainsburys and buy a big bag of Tidgy Puds and follow directions....

ah - thats the shame that is stereotyping. When I tell people I live in scotland (even though I'm from London originaly) they think I must be wearing a kilt, drinking whiskey, eating haggis, playing the bagpipes and saying "Och aye th noo"
