Microwave or oven? And to how many degrees- I want it medium to well done and slightly crispy?

Oven. Microwaved wont be as nice, more gloopy than crispy.

Preheat oven at Gas Mark 3 and then cook for 5 minutes or until sufficiently crispy. Wrap in flag, not too tight so not to squish the fly goodness, and then add mustard and/or tomato sauce for flavour.

Results:

I had already used all the tomato sauce to taste myself and the mustard was gone off so I had to do without. Pretty bland, the taste of the flag overwhelmed the subtle tones of the bluebottle. I will research further into the perfect way of cooking a fly but thanks for your help mmm.

Do Americans mainly sleep in the afternoon/early evening then? (That’s when the conversation happened your time.)

Just been watching the Doctor Who Christmas special (I was ill all over Christmas, slept most of Christmas Day, so taped it).

It includes another instance of Clara slapping the Doctor across the face.

Why is it that female violence toward men is still acceptable in mainstream entertainment? If the Doctor slapped Clara there would (rightly) be uproar about the casual depiction of “domestic” violence. Why should it be acceptable the other way round?

What message does this double standard send to women, young women in particular?

There’s lots of things considered when it is decided it’s necessary to depict male violence towards a woman, and it is (nearly) always treated very seriously, and shown in a way that makes it clear how wrong it is. Female violence towards men still seems to get the same casual acceptance in mainstream entertainment that male violence towards women used to get, but is now condemned.

How long before we put out the message that violence in a relationship (which – while not sexual – is what the Doctor and Clara have) is unacceptable whoever it is resorting to violence?

My thoughts towards this years ‘Doctor Who’ christmas episode took a different tangent, one of it being dreadful.

Wasn’t really my thoughts on the Christmas special, @meanmistermustard, but more on the amount of times Clara has physically assaulted the Doctor since Peter Capaldi took over, and wondering why it’s considered acceptable.

As I said, if it was the Doctor hitting Clara, there would be outrage.

The episode itself, I didn’t hate it.

ahdn_paul_06This post was the first one on this page. Curious, I naturally went to the prior page to get caught up on the conversation. Oh, how I wish I had not.

Pet Peeve: People posting thoughts in the wrong thread. That conversation clearly belonged in the What Are You Eating Right Now? thread. a-hard-days-night-george-10

i Hate it when people Piss on the seat in a Public Restroom. I Also don’t like it when someone is trying to talk to you while your doing your business. Another thing i have a huge Pet Peeve for Preps and people who take selfies and post a bung load of them on websites

I Think that Rolling Stone should do a cover story of The Rolling Stones covering "Like a Rolling Stone" or if a Type of Beetle was named after The Beatles.

I get annoyed when a story doesn’t separate each persons dialogue into it’s own paragraph. It makes the story harder to read.

 

Ex

“Hello I am toast” The toaster said. The swamp monster looked at him “Oh that is nice do you like pizza” Toaster did like pizza and replied so. “Do you know the muffin man?” “Why yes I do” The swamp monster said and he bounded out of the room in righteous fury.

I hate it when people drive by houses with the souped-up speakers and blare that thump-thump-thump bass crap, especially at night. Number one, it doesn’t even sound like music to me because it goes boom boom boom, and it’s way too loud for me, waking up me and everyone for the next 500 miles (805 km if you’re not from America).

That reminds me of another pet peeve, whether or not Americans should embrace our traditional system or switch to metric. It’s annoying because I don’t measure anything in metric!!!!

ahdn_paul_06 It’s funny our U.S customary system at the core uses the metric system to measure our unit standards.

ahdn_paul_06 Link to the place

Here is the quote

The U.S. received its copies of the International Prototype Metre and the International Prototype Kilogram in 1890. The Mendenhall Order of 1893 (named after T.C. Mendenhall, who served as the Superintendent of Weights and Measures at the time) stipulated that the fundamental standards for length and mass in the U.S. be based on metric units. The yard was defined as 3600/3937 meter, and the pound-mass was defined as 0.4535924277 kilogram. In 1959, English-speaking countries agreed on new and improved conversion factors: 1 yard equals 0.9144 meter and 1 pound-mass equals 0.45359237 kilogram exactly.

Ah, I see. That makes much more sense. I’ve read about the fact that the kilogram is the only measurement based on an existing standard and it intrigues me.

Anyways,

Doesn’t it make you mad whenever you see a local band play music, no matter what they’re playing, some drunk guy in the back is yelling things like, “Play Stairway!” or “Play Freebird!!” My music teacher once told me about how he was playing with his band in, i think it was, a ballroom. Somebody in the back yelled “Play Stairway!” and my teacher started playing the introduction as a joke but people started dancing to it. So they, by default, had to finish the song. I think, in his mind, he thought, “Oh, crap, we are in so much crap here”! But they finished it with their dignity intact. I think he said that the same guy kept asking for more, and my teacher said, “No, we’re not paying attention to you.”

By hook or by crook, I'll be last in this book.
