Nigella Lawson vs. real women
See how many of them you think are true......
1. Nigella's Way
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.
The Real Woman's Way
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Goodness
sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it
anyway.
2. Nigella's Way
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
The Real Woman's Way
Buy Smash and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.
3. Nigella's Way
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the
dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside
of the cake.
The Real Woman's Way
Tesco sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.
4. Nigella's Way
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.
The Real Woman's Way
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's tough!
Please recite with me the Real Woman's motto: 'I made it and you will
eat it and I don't care ... more »

New Bank HR Policy

Managers are increasingly looking to be creative with respect to innovative ideas for improving a firms finanncial position during the Depression. For example: 'As many of our competitors continue to lay-off staff in order to get their costs down, we are pleased to announce that there will be no compulsory redundancies in the foreseeable future. We are, however, introducing a new staffing policy.
With immediate effect, we are reducing our mandated employee retirement age to 36. Although many staff might at first be concerned to learn that they will not actually be able to draw any pension until they reach 55 (and we will not be in a position to continue to make pension contributions for staff who have left the firm), please be advised that we have taken this action in your best long-term interests. Recent research has revealed that our industry is among the most stressful, and our new compulsory early retirement policy will probably mean that you will actually live longer. And life is not that bad on welfare. As you are aware, work / life balance has become a main priority for the firm and, as many of our over-36s have been working like dogs over the last few years, most could ... more » Thursday, December 11
The Office Party

From the Here is the City website, a note from 'The Management' re the possibility of a Christmas party: 'As you are already aware, due to the fact that investors are upset with us over the firm's stock price (and the government is pretty miffed as it had to bail us out), earlier this year we decided to cancel our annual staff Christmas bash. Many of you have, however, expressed anger at this decision, especially as some of our rivals have covertly arranged parties out of the public eye. And this year has been a difficult one to say the least - cheap food in the canteen is no more, cabs home are a thing of the past, and that lovely luxury toilet paper we have used for years has been replaced by something more akin to sandpaper. Not to mention that the chats we all used to enjoy around the water coolers are no more - as there are no longer any water coolers. And the tea and biccies in the meeting rooms have also been canned, along with the fruit trolley. The bar outside the canteen has also been mothballed. We do appreciate that a year-end p.ss up, and an opportunity to make inappropriate comments to females colleagues, is the only fun many ... more » Sunday, December 7

Spare a thought for our friends taking part in this years LE JOG (The
Lands End to John O Groats reliability trial, to non
rallyists). We met them last eve on their first rest halt
since starting at 0800 that morning at Lands End and while they had 2
hours to feverishly plot the nights routes, they would be denied any
sleep until arriving in Runcorn at about 4.00 am. And
it went down to - 10deg c last night.
Their route took them from Magor services in South Wales through the hills and valleys with a range of rally trials from hillclimbs, navigation sections and regularities (at constant average speeds). Rallying is hard work but immense fun, although I still cannot understand who would want to do this in an open car. Especially an open car that is over 80 years old.... more » Tuesday, December 2

Who would have thought she'd be back from the brink after last years head shaving and going a bit mad nonsense? It certainly wasn't pretty to witness...and although I did not see her X factor performance or Simon Cowell meeting her and subsequently suggesting she was in awe of him (Simon, you need to spend a little time out of your own ego) I did like the lyrics to her last hit, Piece of Me. Someone has a sense of humour: I'm Miss American Dream since I was 17 So happy birthday Miss Spears. And welcome back. more »
Driving Tips

From Shipmate, too good not to share these useful driving tips... Save the expense of buying a Caterham by sitting in the bath wearing a helmet while a friend fires pieces of mud and rubber at your head and you pretend to get all indignant when a normal car overtakes you. TVR drivers, save the expense of a trackday by simply getting up early, finding a local road, accelerating as hard as possible down the straights, crawl round the corners and go home at 11am due to mechanical failure. Rich people, don't bother learning to drive. Just buy a GT3 RS, a brightly coloured race suit and always drive in Novice sessions. No one will pass you so your ego will be intact. Internet forum posters, save the expense of going to the Nuerburgring for the weekend by staying at home with your mum and then on Tuesday posting that you managed an 8:15 bridge-to-gantry time in your Clio, but there is more to come if the traffic and weather conditions allow. Lotus Elise drivers, after crashing maintain the internet illusion that you are a great driver by claiming that there was diesel on the road, after all no one ... more » |
