Looks like railing is still needed.

Here is the judgment feee zone to do it.

@OldRailer

It's super dense and could be useful if you had a very small lunchbox but an active lifestyle to fuel. Hmm
Now see, there is always a silver lining....:o
OldRailer · 26/02/2021 14:27

Well I try!

WaxOnFeckOff · 26/02/2021 14:28

Based on my watching of bake-off, i'd guess it wasn't kneaded enough or wasn't proven long enough or maybe your yeast was out of date?

anon444877 · 26/02/2021 14:30

I decided I'm waiting til lidl have those £40 mixer things with dough hooks in before trying again, I'm definitely a lazy kneader.

OldRailer · 26/02/2021 14:32

It was a disaster because I veered away from the recipe and tried adding flour to liquid thanks to a you tube inspiration. Never again!

WaxOnFeckOff · 26/02/2021 14:36

I'll stick with the recipe I have that is aimed for primary school children Smile

@Lockdownbear

Remind me of the benefits of voting Labour or Tory hmm Not such an easy decision

What's the point in voting for more of the same.
What part of Scotland has benefited from 14 years of SNP.
Education certainly hasn't.

Scotland needs stability to rebuild. Not more division and hate.

If it's the free university tuition fees bribe that keeps you voting SNP, the Conservative policy is now for free tuition in Scotland for home students and I think Labour are the same. Even though most of the Scottish Labour party seems to not want to support women's hard-won sex based rights at the moment with a few notable exceptions (eg.Johann Lamont), the SNP is arguably worse so any vote that isn't SNP/Green would make a welcome change to public life in Scotland. Remember power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
OldRailer · 26/02/2021 14:40

There was a lot more that went wrong but describing it all would be as long-winded and multi layered as this current legal wrangle.

I'm sticking to the recipe in future!

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 26/02/2021 14:41

@Lockdownbear

Jim Sillars, coming out and telling people not to vote SNP because of how corrupt it is, is absolutely mental.
I believe he was ex-Labour originally but he scared me to death in 2014 talking about how there would be a 'day of reckoning' for the Banks if YES won.
Lockdownbear · 26/02/2021 14:42

Honestly I don't care who Scotland ends up with as long as it's not SNP.
It needs change. Urgently!

anon444877 · 26/02/2021 14:42

bread is hard to get right. In 20 years it's beer bread and a rosemary foccacia I remember from many disasters that turned out well. You can see why they say baking is good preparation for science.

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 26/02/2021 14:42

It cracks me up how this thread is juxtaposing poached eggs and politics!

Yes same here.
anon444877 · 26/02/2021 14:45

nice word play on 'cracks you up' :). It's relevant 'spatchcock' being a cooking word Salmond has used.

OldRailer · 26/02/2021 14:48

I was trying to get spatchcocked into my post but inspiration failed.

Heartening to see it's not just me who can't make bread. My lockdown sourdough ran all over the oven. Various brick like iterations later I'm no further forwards.

I am also a lazy kneader and I don't have an airing cupboard for resting.

Main problem seems to be my hands are too cold. Flip side is I am very good at scones and pastry.

Why vote Labour or Tory? Easy answer this time round is as long as the SNP don't get a majority no-one else will either. That means there will be plenty of time and space for them to all sit down and give their heads a wobble before setting to work to set out the mess jointly. Very little room or reward for doing otherwise. Also once you add up all the various people retiring there will be a lot of old wood to clear out and new people with fresh ideas and untarnished by the nonsense. The new brooms will have far more scope if they are not spatchcocked by the same old same old tired Administration on Day 1.

Aiming for a Star for wordplay (honestly think I might need a reward system for bothering to even make the dinner if we don't get back to normal soon)

OldRailer · 26/02/2021 15:22

Watching Salmond I do find it frightening on an individual versus government level.

He was just talking about the withholding of documentation by the SG. Which he says was reflected in the scale of costs awarded to him.

Groovee · 26/02/2021 15:30

We can't make up our minds if Mr G is actually yellow or if it's the sun shingling through the windows as he doesn't look yellow in the bedroom.

I took myself off to my friend's garden as I needed a break. I feel much calmer now.

Think me and him will argue over this all weekend.

Dinnafashyersel · 26/02/2021 15:32

What I hadn't appreciated is that MPs have protected speech rights in WM but they don't in Holyrood. If they did the Committee would not be so hamstrung by all the shenanigans about what can and can't be referred to.

Makes you wonder if they would even have been able to go after Salmond if he hadn't lost his seat as an MP in 2017 and whether even that was orchestrated?

OldRailer · 26/02/2021 15:34

Parliamentary privilege covered now by Salmond.

jabbathebutt · 26/02/2021 16:58

oft these threads move fast. Someone summarrise? been working all day. Got good end of week feedback :)

shouldistop · 26/02/2021 16:59

@Groovee how do the whites of his eyes look? Any yellowing?

Also creates some interesting questions about what could be disclosed if Westminster is minded to intervene
