Every chance if you looked closely at all elections that some very unsavoury characters have been elected.Quote:

Trump has a dodgy past as does Hillary clinton, the US seemed happy to elect either of them as they won the right to stand for President.
OK that makes it fine then. :thumbup:Quote:

Of course it is. The postal voting system is an open invitation to it.Quote:

But it's racist to point out that muslim communities are routinely undermining our electoral process, so no-one will say a word.
Funnily enough, during my only ever visit to Peterborough (for a pre-season friendly with Arsenal about 20 years ago) I was in a cafe before the game and noticed someone had dropped a wad of notes on the floor.Quote:

I like the way you can casually confess, from the safety of some 20 years after the fact, that you attended a pre-season friendly 75 miles out of London.Quote:

It's as good a rule as any - particularly if you can't find an all-you-can-eat chinky.Quote:

So romantic!Quote:

If you're feeling extra-decadent, you can melt some mozzarella on top.
There's a Big Green Egg live demo on the decking at Macknades tomorrow afternoon :cloud9:

To which 'accessory' do you refer? Your heat deflector plates are an intrinsic part of the device, they are no 'accessory'.Quote:

'one of them things that you angle'? Have you received a blow to the head? It's a part of the Divide 'N Conquer Flexible Cooking System.Quote:

Yes I have, thank you very much.
Well, not the offset smoker since my initial mishap. but the main grill, which I’ve used for smoking several times now to great acclaim from my guests.
Maybe I need to shove a £70 sheet of ****ing metal in there, you total mug :hehe:

I’m stopping because the timing works if I stop. If I drive straight there and arrive at midnight I’ll have a 16 hour wait to get the key to the house.Quote:
