Because he may not be..?

Ok so give to the most influential person & leave skin colour out of it.
Selective racism.

I made the best tasting eggs I have had in ages, perfect throughout.

I didn’t time how long I cooked them for...

You can't leave us dangling like this. Poached, boiled, scrambled? We need to know more.

He didn't write that down either unfortunately.

Estimate for cat dental work.

One of our cats suffered a badly broken lower jaw. We had it mended - plate inserted. £4500. Phew for the insurance paid £4000. Pet-mending costs makes pet insurance worthwhile.

Did he pre weigh each egg, so that the timings can be adjusted for different weight eggs?

you come accross as someone who thinks racism doesnt exist or that its overstated.

Also no mention of how he likes said eggs? If poached or boiled does he like the yolk runny or firm. If scrambled, dry or not?

We are here to help if possible

Nobody has mentioned Tabasco yet.....not eating eggs without Tabasco.

No insurance cover as pre-existing condition.

Politicians. Why is it so difficult for them to answer simple questions that they have been asked? And why do they answer a different question to the one that they have been asked?

This isn't a political post as so far this morning I watched a Tory do it in a TV interview and have heard Labour and SNP politicians do exactly the same thing during radio interviews.

And when did "I don't know" become unacceptable as an answer? If you don't know then say, I don't know, rather than waffle on not answering the bloody question. Also, why isn't it possible for them to answer a simple yes or no question with yes or no?

Never tried that. I'll have to give it a go

Incidentally, as our token American on the forum, when I watch a US film or tv show they will quite often ask if someone 'wants eggs' or 'I am going to have eggs'. What would you understand by that? Their are lots of different ways you can cook eggs, fried, scrambled, boiled, poached, omelette, but they rarely say that. It has always irritated me, don't get me started on only using forks but that one can wait . When you hear that on the tv, what do you expect them to mean?

A neighbor who hasn't talked to us in about 3 years because of a property boundary dispute. He was insisting at the time that we "stole" property from him even though we put our new drive down on the previous property line....and have the property dimension (front only) that shows he has about 4 inches of ours which we don't care about. Can't get him to measure. He just "knows" we stole something..... He was planning on an extension and using our property in the plans I believe....now he is putting a log cabin the back garden. The fella is nuts.

For me it would just simply be asking if I wanted eggs.....details would come later. OK, now you've done it.....thinking about having eggs for dinner tonight (oops....tea tonight)

My wife likes my relatives (so do I).....she isn't too thrilled with her relatives. One of the last times we visited my cousins at their beach house....they served us eggs/toast etc.....when my wife got ready to chow down they all stopped to watch her. They had heard about the famous UK way of pushing food on to the back of the fork and just had to watch.....I caught on as soon as I saw them watching. I can't do it.

I've always thought that. I'm not especially into politics, but I always wondered why there hasn't been just one person give that a go. Just be totally honest and straightforward and see where it gets them. Never seen one politician try it though.

For me, the 'default' egg is fried. Since it's the easiest, and you don't need to add anything. Just break into the pan with everything else you're cooking.

Have you tried a 'Fried' egg using water? makes the white less rubbery, obviously no added fats either. Just add 1/2cm of water to your frying pan, get up to the boil, and fry your eggs! Use the water to baste too!!

Yeah, can't really go wrong with fried. Over the years my usual is a "kind of" omelette that turns into a little bit of scrambled. Always add onions of course, plus a couple chunks of tomato. Couple slices of toast. Add Tabasco upon sitting.....lots and lots of Tabasco. There are times I would love a good Mexican eatery around here.....curry has replaced it. Guess it is a young issue, but I really didn't like onions when really young......silly boy.

Yeah but that happens on this forum dozens of times a day though so no surprise professionals do it too

Sous vide eggs are superb. Like a poached egg only easier to control how cooked it is.
