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

Fried in the fat of the bacon made before them, Wednesday is my cheat day.

MMMMM....you said fried, fat and bacon all in one sentence.....you are my hero.

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!!

Wow I'm going to try that. The oil splattering and difficulty in getting the tops of the eggs done as I like puts me right off bothering!

The best way to do that is to put the frying pan lid on.
This keeps the heat in and cooks the eggs from the top, crucially at a slower rate, which allows the yolk to stay runny whilst the white gets cooked.

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?

Normally quite correctly, they (and i mean politicos of every flavour!) suspect the actual question to be a 'leading' one. And they usually haver something more 'important to them' they simply use the opportunity to speak as permission present their current pet subject! It's quite a skill to make the conection smoothly, though laughably poor when done badly!
Mind you the best/worst/most amusing question/response interview was Paxman's interview of Michael Howard

It is a little bit isn't it.

People that just love to be offended on others behalf,or try to make others out to be bad in attempt to make themselves look holier than thou.
When really it just makes you look a bit of a tit.

Remember,being offended doesn’t make you right ????

The increased level of virtual racism being seen on social media - white people upset because

1. Adverts being broadcast with a black family in them

2. A black man being voted most inspirational black person

It’s as if it was white people who spent centuries being persecuted because of their skin colour.

I agree there is still a massive issue, and that people complaining about there being awards for black only etc is ridiculous. I agree with PJ though, I wouldn’t take Hamilton as the most influential. I haven’t looked into his charity work etc, but IMO him making the mercedes team take a knee is about the most high profile thing I’ve seen, Rashfrod on the other hand.....

I don’t agree that people can’t have a say though if they haven’t suffered racism. Not all criticism makes you a racist, and some steps are too PC. Southampton city council for example didnt put Xmas lights up in the city centre years ago. According to those who I knew it was so as to not be seen Showing support to one religion more than another. Of course then city centre winter markets became popular and they soon changed their minds and the whole town centre is mental again!

People aren’t complaining that it’s Hamilton who has been picked it’s more that there is an award for the most influential black person in the Uk - with the response mainly on twitter etc “Why isn’t their a Most influential White Person” etc etc
