Re: Casserole v Stew debate

I use a cast iron Le Creuset casserole dish and gently fry off onions and celery in butter and rapeseed oil. When ready, I add flour to make a roux, then add stock of choice until desired consistency is reached. Then I add whatever meat I have prepared along with any veg and/or mushrooms. Bung in o...

Re: Tool Chests

My local Homebase has loads of similar tool chests out on display. Might be worth going to have a look at some to get an idea of what things you like or don’t like about different designs?

Whilst perhaps not to your taste, I suspect they’re doing pretty good in their own field.

Re: Vitamin D

Mrs Newt is constantly covered up and works an office job and suffered terribly with seasonal affective disorder. I suggested to her that a good dose of vitamin D would help. Unfortunately, she went off and got some pills but at least her S.A.D. got better. Nothing wrong with taking pills my dude

Re: Any Train nerds ?

My dad had a set up like that in the loft of my Grandparents house, from his youth. I remember thinking it was very cool, especially as it was in the loft!!

Re: Warm Coat

I just put the fleece lining in my generic NorthFace jacket today. It was lovely and warm as i de-iced the car. Unfortunately I don’t look like I’m dressed to cross the Andes whilst wearing it, so the Dads here probably won’t be interested

You can get good deals on eBay, the RRP is frightening!

The main issue IMO wasn’t that they replaced the cast with women, it was that they replaced the cast at all

Re: Half Life: Alyx

I’m concerned it’ll be another “tech demo” type game for the knuckles controller

Maybe I’m wrong

But I’m not about to drop £2500ish to find out - PC, peripherals, headset, knuckles, light boxes, etc etc

I’ve been enjoying Apple TV Plus See - in a future where a virus has killed most of human kind, and left everyone else blind, a set of twins are born with the ability to see. Aquaman is excellent in it. Seeing the subtle and not so subtle ways a blind civilisation survives and prospers in the world ...

Re: Good Curry Houses

For fancy curry, Cinnamon Club in Westminster is really very good.

Don’t confuse it with their Cinnamon Club bistro style locations, “Cinnamon Kitchen” which in my experience are fine at best.
