the boring thead, class not an issue

[Blandmum]

I need to cut my lawn. Do you think I'll need to do it again before the winter?

Oh, perhaps I should have bought rotary . Mb, do you have any views? (silver handle, before you ask)

is that a bloke in front?

God mb, where do you find these pictures?

reminds me of the qoute by Billy Connolly. Never trust a man who, when left with a tea cosy alone in a room, doesn't try it on his head. Was my standard test for potential husbands for many years. DH passed with flying colours.

Rotary is only good for specialised purposes, like loads of cheese, or crystallised ginger. I reckon that for everyday, a microplane is fabulous. I personally veer, though, between the fine and the medium grade.

I'm oddly good with google

Rotary graters are the way forward I feel - sorry, Tamum.
My dad says that you should never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea-cosy, doesn't try it on. More comfy than a lamp shade I believe.

Is a rotary the same as a mouli.

It matters.

Argh! x posts slubber - my dad clearly got it from Mr Connolly!

Oh This is for zesting things, mainly. It is blue round the edges.

Miss Marple is on telly now I believe.

Moulis can buckle easily, IM (very boring)E.

I think so. The Inferiorettes simply call it a Round and Round grater.

My mother had an elecric muff for many years. Sadly it died after a mug of cammomile tea was spilt on it.

Oooh, now, that'll be great for zesting.

JL had all sorts of obscurely boring things, not just strawberry hullers but special scrubbing gloves for vegetables. And basters. Does anyone actually buy basters, especially now that AID is available from clinics?

that would be quite dangerous, i would have thought!

cammomile tea and an electric muff, how did she stand that level of excitement?

only for the brace, zester in action

Michael Palin is on. He seems like such a nice man.

Not boring, though.

Actually I was left in charge of the roast chicken today while dh went for a run and he does actually have a baster.

So I'm in the clear on the zesting front then? I went to JL originally to get some little plastic tubs, and did they have any? No they did not, just poncey flat ones with special seals. Oh I was cross.

It sounds just the thing. I do love JL. I bought pillowcases. Ah, now that was boring.

statistics on snail distributions Don't you love it when two parts of a thread merge!

Ds brought rather a nice pillowcase back from his school trip, which he'd packed under the impression that it was his shirt. That's possibly too funny to be truly boring though.

I print that out mb

anyone had the great joy over this weekend to have to watch Highschool musical 2 not once but more then that, or at least have to listen to it in the background....NOW that is booooooooring...

Snail update
(Apologies for bad focus:it was dark, and for state of garden table: I'm too lazy to wash it)

I spent a whole afternoon sitting in a field with a famous geneticist sticking tiny little thermal sensors on snails once. We went back a week later to record the temperatures and they had all fallen off.

Was wondering what happened to the snail - but then I skipped scanned the middle of the thread.

A rotary wouldn't work for zesting IMVHO.

Bubble99 - is it just me or did all those people walking in circles remind you of The Wicker Man, too?
