Thatcher and Lawson fell out over Europe! Nothing changes much in the tory Party.

Actually, I think it was specifically over currency policy and the Exchange Rate Mechanism with The Maggon listening to Alan Walters, her finances adviser rather than her Chancellor. But, yes Europe has dominated Tory thinking and divided them ever since the 50s once the country had recovered sufficiently from the trauma of WW2.

Oh... and Nigella’s recipes are rubbish. She stands in the shadow of the luminous St. Delia.

On the news this morning followed by the sewage scandal as our rivers turn to sludge.
They should have just combined the two. Lawson has died and thanks to his privatising of the public monopoly water companies we now get to swim in effluent every time it rains.
Also in the news today is an update on the rail strikes and train cancellations……

It’s not as simple as that... eggs are complicated.

I can highly recommend John Diamond's book 'C: Because Cowards Get Cancer Too'.

Agreed totally with his sentiments, fighting bravely against cancer is a ridiculous notion…

Clumsily written post from me. What I meant to say is, having had five close family members who have all succumbed to cancer and went through a dreadful ordeal respectively. I’ve always disliked the analogy likening the cancer treatment process to a battle and think it’s disrespectful by seeming to infer that people didn’t put up a good enough fight

I think the stat is something close to 50% of us will be diagnosed with Cancer now (there or thereabouts) and everyone I know has experienced love ones struggle with it.
I agree on the ‘fight’ comment - it’s a tough journey short or long for everyone involved including those around the sufferer.

Delia's recipes are idiot-proof, I know this. But Nigella has 'come to bed eyes'. OK, that's sexist.
She also does some good recipes.

What's sexist about finding a woman's eyes attractive? This is called perfectly normal behaviour, men are supposed to be attracted to women (on average) .
