The person responsible for our building has confiscated all the toasters on the grounds of health and safety.

Now, I don't use nor do I wish to use the toaster but this is utter idiocy.

I have a toaster at home, we had one in our family when I lived at home. Virtually everyone i know has a toaster.

Of all the people I know who have toasters and often use them to toast various bread products I am not aware of any of their homes having burned down in a toaster related incident.

I really cannot stand people who have no idea of how health and safety legislation actually works, it shouldn't prevent you doing any normal day to day activity. The woman is a fool.

Does anyone like Dr Seuss? Saw some slightly naughty t-shirts based on the books on my holidays. Thought of Peter, tbh

Quite like it. I used to work in the Heavy Woollen area, (Cleckheaton/Heckmondwike/Batley, etc.) the older generation more or less spoke their own language. WormInHand would not have approved.

I don't understand it, and I don't get that.

Saw a trailer for that film, it looked unbelievably terrible. It only lasted about thirty seconds but I was still forced to pluck my eyes out. I've had to have a transplant.

Good holiday?

It's to stop people trying to dislodge bits that are stuck with a metal knife whilst still plugged in. Person gets electrocuted and grim compensation lawyers get cash off the company for allowing toasters in.

Utterly ridiculous. That's natural selection, those people are better off removed from the gene pool.

We're not allowed to use a microwave at work for some unfathamable reason, we have however been deemed sensible enough to use a kettle, pretty sure we'd be allowed a toaster.

I swear I put Barmcake?? don't tell me it's got its own filter?

Has Wormy got something to do with this?


B.A.R.M.C.A.K.E

B[ia[/irm is a Lancashire word and as such has no place on a Rugby League site. A game invented in Yorkshire.

Killing it at backgammon at the moment.

It's a long story, but essentially there was a whole series of threads on the Sin Bin arguing about the correct name for a soft bread roll. It got to the point where just about every thread got derailed and it spread to other boards, so Admin added a few words to the swear filter to put a stop to it.

The Cat in the Hat film I think you mean was awful but as children's books go, I love Dr Seuss. The Sneetches is great and I think you'd enjoy it - described by Wikipedia that "an allegory for prejudice and discrimination, and also offers a lesson of materialism and entrepreneurship" with the central characters being some "[uvaguely avian yellow creatures who live on a beach[/u". Right up your street.

The Fox is a character in another story, Green Eggs and Ham. The main character doesn't like green eggs and ham and is challenged throughout the story by the irritating "Sam-I-Am" about whether he would like them in a variety of other circumstances, all rhyming obviously. "Would you like them in the rain, would you like them on a plane?". This is just a bit cheeky "Would you, could you, with a fox?" Maybe it's me - I saw a very large lady on hols with a "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" t-shirt and smirked about it a lot. Smutfest.



I do like childrens rhyming books, though. Pass the Jam, Jim, The Giant Jam Sandwich, The Gruffalo. All brilliant. Not rhyming, but the Shirley Hughes books, especially Alfie and Annie Rose ones, always make me nostalgic.

I love a freshly opened foil of Twinings, attempting to dunk my large chocolate cluster into it and it's not going well.

I wouldn't, I would have to burn them. I get the T shirt now. I was referring to the film in your little picture.

I like the sentiment behind the Dr. Seuss books but really, if you haven't learnt that stuff by your mid thirties you might as well give up.

What tea is it? Not really a tea person me although I do like there Lady Grey and M&S do a very nice version called Empress Grey.

Incredible plot holes. Aliens invade to get Gold Rush America to get gold. Harrison Ford says "What're they gonna do, buy something?" So bad it's good. Daniel Craig must have shirtless scenes written into every contract now - Bond, this one, also a trailer for a sort of horror film Dream House out later this year - yes, the shirt's off again. I like him as an actor, but crikey he's a dull interviewee.

Ah I see. So other than the obvious is there anything else that is filtered?

Guess I didn't win the bet then? Shame really I was looking forward to the veggie suet & the polos.

O/T to the residents! but is anyone watching Falling Skys on FX? pretty good, gutted Human target has finished, so much better then first season. Still, Walking Dead back soon so happy days.

I'm still in the running....

veggie suet and flat fanta....Good times

I think you'll find it's a bread cake.

Your a bit of a snob really arnt u what's wrong with tetley tea bags

On the contrary, I very much approve. Local dialects of all kinds are traditional old English. It's the Victorian imported Frenchified fancy words adapted by the lower and middle middle-classes to disguise anything they thought was vulgar which are, in fact, vulgar, and which I cannot abide.

I'm a right patty eater down the tenny, so don't be chowwing at me, Goose Boy.

I think you will find that "chowing" is a single w.



I'm not a snob, I am however a two bob millionaire. I love food and drink and I'll go a long way to seek out things that I like or might like. Some of my best friends are chef's or really into wine, or restaurateur's. I didn't grow up on a farm but I'm from a farming community and I like to support people that are good at animal husbandry and have a passion for what they do.

There's nowt wrong with a Tetley tea bag, if you like it, you should stick to it.



Not my bag squire, but the more people that subscribe to this thread the better I think, it's a little East Riding (or in comers) community and one day we'll have a lovely meet up.



It looks awful. I like Craig, I like him a lot, my favourite ever (caveat, I have no definitive favourites, all are subject to change) TV series was "Our Friends In The North", in which he was excellent, but jumping onto the wigs of alien spaceships as they fly through canyons? Purlease!
