Welsh "bush tucker"?

MOT failure....

Listened today on 5Live, I'll definitely have to watch the highlights show! I think ALL the drivers must have demonstrated their skills, on a wet track that was newly laid with a grade of tarmac that any of the tyres were not designed to interface with. Amazingly, you can't even blame Pirelli for that! Hamilton once again showed why he is the champion driver once again, but hats off to Perez for doing so well, and to Vettel, who found that Ferrari had designed a car for such conditions and who demonstrated his off-track sportsmanship by being the first to congratulate Hamilton. So, will Hamilton go on to make a clean sweep of the rest of the races, or take things easy for the rest of the season?

Wonderful...

All I can say is the chaps with the giraffe should have used an R.348.

I wilfully misinterpreted the title as a casting call for a remake of "Goodbye Mr Chips". However, I'm glad to see the sensible ones have sorted your problem for you!

Its the tree I feel sorry for...

I wonder what the weather forecast is for tomorrow?

What's the next step from full wets? Water wings?

I've seen her bouncing around on the coverage and wondered who she was.

You got the feeling that they had been repeating their final year in secondary school for a decade at least... And there was a follow on series, The Fenn Street Gang, which finally followed 5C into the world of work...

Are F1 using Covid as a cover to select tracks that haven't been used for F1 in decades, requiring a resurface for when the circus rolls into town just because they want to make things more "entertaining" and difficult for faster cars to navigate? Personally, I think there are too many races in the calendar now and some of the "newer" tracks could do with being stripped out and these older tracks used more frequently to bed their surfaces in for F1 use. Of course, money talks, and the investors need to recover their pound of flesh...

How about a nice little E4?

Just a blog headline, the (middle tier) drivers quoted seemed to be commenting rather than complaining. Looking at the practices so far, there's not much info to be drawn as an onlooker, its just drivers getting the feel of the track with the tyres their teams are considering using. No point in getting excited by the times posted either. Its what happens in Q1/2/3 that matters!

Stroopwafelsmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Pop over the top of a freshly brewed mug of coffee, turning as required, until they're soft and chewy. Lovely! Many UK supermarkets stock 'em, they're quite acceptable!

I was going to mention its "use" in boating. We used to keep a jar of it (and its "coffee" analogue) on the family narrowboat for use during winter maintenance visits. Going back to thawing milk, the other reason for a possible "odd" taste would be not waiting for it to completely thaw out and using it while there was still a core if ice in the bottle, you'd then have a sort of "condensed" milk...

Trademarks are big business. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-54298068 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-54905416 As for the Mouse, its about time Disney buried the zombie, instead of living off IP thats nearly 80 years old.

It depends on how its been defrosted. If its just been defrosted by being left out on the draining board or nuked in the microwave, then its not going to either last as long, or taste "normal". The best way to defrost frozen milk is to put it straight into the fridge and it'll defrost over 24 hours or so. and be more or less in the state it was in when put in the freezer. Given comments about the bottle splitting when frozen, inspection should show if there's a split, otherwise place the bottle in a measuring jug while defrosting to discourage floods! That stuff DOES taste vile! But it has its place... (I didn't know you could still get it!)

I've used several Smallbrook Studio items on my "Midsomer Brevis" O-16.5 layout, which is currently in storage so I can't take any current pictures and don't have any previous ones to hand! However, the "Thor" locomotive featured in one of my Cakebox Challenge 2018 entries so I've been able to copy one of those photos across. the "scene" itself has now been dismantled, but the major components have migrated to Midsomer Brevis as intended. The bridge is DAS on foamboard, the figures cheap ones off ebay, the flat wagon behind the loco consists of coffee stirrers on a Dapol wagon chassis. The track is a piece of scrap Peco code 100 flexitack with every other sleeper cut out to give it a more "narrowgauge" feel. As far as the mechanism is concerned, its false economy to use an old Hornby 0-4-0 loco as the donor, ones produced over the past 5 years or so have better running qualities. While this does notch the price up a little its worth it, and still far cheaper than buying an Electrotren loco for the chassis.

I wonder if he is related to Zebidee?

We're currently (1-7th November) at 210 per 100,000 though this is decreasing slowly. Some districts are generating most of that figure, most are well below. Its mainly the poor/deprived areas that are suffering. Death rates have spiked alarmingly.

I rarely recognise the "celebrities" so its more like a normal show as far as I'm concerned!

Noooooooooooooooooo....... That would be more akin to endless repeats of Pointless!

Here's an easier one I just thought of...

I'd just set a timer to remind me at 10:50 to go and stand on my doorstep At the eleventh hour... on the eleventh day.... of the eleventh month to remember the brothers of both my grandmothers, who fell during WW1 and who I never knew. And everyone else who has suffered from all sorts of wars since.
