Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

I'd like to nominate bastian for the wonderful:

"finally, someone to talk binary with"

on this thread

I wonder if bastian is on the wrong forum if he/she is wanting to talk dirty binary with us ...

I like your quote Nancy.
'Disable cookies' is funny and did make me LOL - but we couldn't have had QOTW referring to biscuits as well surely.

Great... so you were struggling this week? Scraping the bottom of the barrel? sad

Okay- yes, I'm thrilled to bits it was me... but really, it was so mundane biscuit

How the hell could Threadie not be QOTW? (especially as she's not actually even here! wink)

Go to Tools, then Internet Options, then Security, and select 'disable cookies.'

On the 'I hate the biscuit' thread - topical without controversy and vv funny

You admire the Iron Lady, but you're going to vote for 6 foot of Wibble in a Savile Row suit? OK

Swedes on the prospects for the British education system:

"Before too long a state secondary education will be a series of online multiple choice worksheets, for which nothing less than an A* Gold grade will be awarded. The LEA will have a webcam view to ensure there are no Digestive crumbs on the students' keyboards, and the LEA will carry out Health and Safety checks ont he swivel chairs, not less than annually. Most swivel chairs will be upholstered in black boiled-wool-effect polyester but there will be a few in patent red leatherette, with brass casters. These will be reserved for children whose parents have a relationship with their local vicar."

(Too controversial?)

There are some good ones

"Obviously, we didn't speak for sometime after this incident. But, in hindsight I'm glad it happened because no matter how much I might spend shopping, MrQueen simply daren't ask me how much I've blown because he knows I'll reply 'Considerably less than the price of a BMW with a private plate on it'.

Anything in here will sum up this week on Mumsnet. Roll on bumsex day I say - at least we'll have something to laugh at.

Incidentally thank you for the biscuit.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
