I do think it is odd that the spokesman for the National Forum is called

It's just "Thomas", ain't it.

Yes. It's 'Tom', but with a silly accent. When did we start spelling names wrong just because people choose to have a regional accent?

The corrrect number of eggs is indeed two. Three eggs is a bit kinky but I can see the attraction.

Three eggs is the coirrect number for an omelette or for scrambled eggs, let us not forget that. But boiled, fried or poached, two shall be the number to which thou shalt count.

Let's be honest, though, the white of any egg is essentially pointless. Some yolk must always be retained in order to make the white palatable. There is nothing worse when eating a boiled egg to finish off the yolk and find yourself with just egg white remaining. That is a joyless experience and is why the double-yolked egg is the way forward.

[Sir C]

How many eggs a man eats is between him, his god and his colon. Personally, I always find two eggs too much with a fry up and one too few. The ideal for me would be a double-yolker.

Nonsense. This is a matter of etiquette. You might as well contend that a man may leave his hat on indoors. Certainly he may choose so to do, but he will, rightfully, attract the scorn of his peers. So be it with eggs.

Are you quite well?

Are you quite well?

Perfectly. I simply have very definite ideas about eggs.

This is what the sophisticated gentleman about town orders from his grocer when it comes to eggs. Anything else is folly.

Everyone always has done, imo. Depending on where I happen to be, I myself am Jody or Seph or Jost or Sepp or Jupp or Joe or Yussuf or Pepp or Josh or Jack and so on. You see them all written down.

Your multiple passports and cover stories don't count.

Someone on here went through a phase of throwing away the yolks and just eating egg-white, possibly as part of some narcissistic body-building programme.

I once had a box of eggs where three or four in a row were double-yolked. I felt like I'd won the lottery. Surely there's a way of genetically engineering them.

Message reported to Curly. He believes the correct number of eggs is 0 iirc.
