I do wonder what the motive was and the reasoning for the counter terrorism police becoming involved. There doesn't seem to be any background information online that would indicate the suspect is prone to such violence unless anyone else has found something? Why on earth would he travel all that way? And I'd also like to know what else the police are investigating Herbert for as there must be more.

The one with the beard is an older photo @MarjorieWestriding .

He's got quite a beard in the court drawing.

I was thinking of the one where he's setting off on the day and the hammer's sticking out of his pocket.

The bloke pictured in that article isn't the same one shown in earlier photographs, in those he's clean shaven and there wouldn't be time for his beard to grow.

That’s horrific.

Can't get it out of my head. What turns someone into a monster capable of doing something like that? Poor, poor woman.

Thinking back to "Heather's" comments that I don't really want to repeat. And then reading this news story. Warning - this is a horrible story.

Quenelles? It always seems next door to impossible to do those to Michelin standards on Masterchef. I imagine they taste the same even if not perfect!

Show quote history

It was Masterchef that taught me it's a quenelle if you use two spoons and a rochet if you use one. They still look the same to me though.

I think I've seen chefs using carving forks to get a similar effect with spaghetti, tagliatelle and the like. Looks very cheffy but the portion size seems quite little.

I'm very much a dolloper. Though I'd love to be able to do those oval things used to serve thick creamy stuff. Some sort of magic with a spoon or two.

coriander and yoghurt? What about dedicated coconut, raisins and peanuts?

Show quote history

I would happily add those to some curries!

When I see people on Masterchef pressing rice into a little bowl so they can put a nice neat rounded mound onto the plate I am torn between thinking what a good idea and then remembering that it's extra time and washing up, and I can't be bothered. Dollops all the way Chez Gasp. Slobs'r'us.

I like the way Italians swirl their pasta into a ladle to serve it on the plate like a little round nest.

I like Gita's mango chutney and if we're being fancy we have lime and chilli chutney too.

Rather like this thread - murder/curry/murder/sandwich spread

I also think it looks nicer in a retro way than just dolloping them next to each other. Sometimes I put a spoonful of yoghurt on top and if I had a sprig of coriander 🌿 I would put that on too.

The rice moulds are a bridge too far for me too, but I love when I’ve had in a restaurant/SE Asia.

I make gaps in the rice so each dish has a little triangle to nestle in without being mixed up with the others. DH just spoons his anywhere.

I still feel a guilty failure because I cba to serve curry like that 😔 with a tonsure of rice. Or is it the curry that's the tonsure?

Show quote history

Curry as tonsure.
Umm, thank you for that image 🥴

I still plate up a curry like that 😂 idc if it’s outdated, it’s nostalgia (even though the first time I had one would have been the 90s)

Wednesday Addams went to a fancy dress party as a murderer or serial killer. She changed nothing about her appearance and when questioned, she said murderers/serial killers look just like everybody else (paraphrased). Genius comedy.
