OP: How long do I need to cook a soft boiled egg for?

Answer: Soft boiled eggs are very high in cholesterol you know. Why not have some steamed fish?

Answer: Why are you cooking at this time of day?

Answer: Are you pregnant OP? Because you shouldn't eat them soft boiled if you are.

Answer: Have you thought about going on a cookery course OP? Sure Start are running them these days.

Answer: Leave the bastard!!

This often happens on my threads and it would be useful to be able to say without snark "thanks everyone, but can you all stop [insert phrase here] because I really just need to know how long to boil an egg!"

irrespculating (irrelevant and speculatory)

redundanttiara · 05/05/2011 15:08

*needs another 'e' so irrespeculating/irrespeculatory.

You statement is irrespeculatory and has nothing to do with my OP.

But the cholesterol in eggs is good cholesterol. Have another.

Pagwatch · 05/05/2011 15:11

Just don't answer posts you don't want to answer... it's that simple really. Confused

culturemulcher · 05/05/2011 15:19

Good idea.

In a voting mood today, so I'm voting for irrelevanting.

WalterFlipschicks · 05/05/2011 15:19

I'll be honest, I'm actually quite a good cook, but I have no friggin idea how long to boil an egg for as it's not something I do!!
Have probably just shown myself up for being a total egg phillistine Blush
