I would think that would be more "doing things anally" than properly. You know, "anally" as in lining up things in the 'fridge just so, or bottles on a table just so or obsessing about the neighbor's trash... or... ARGH, too many to mention that I live with on daily basis from the fam !!! ... lol ... Though, that's probably more their need to get out the house than their having an OCD.

why were the "financial experts" rolled out by the news programmes telling everyone that items that previously cost £100 would cost £102.50 due to the VAT increase

Aint that typical. We have nice sunny hot summer weather over here for the last week, then for the first game of the series for the Aussie V England women its raining....... typical! Still really hot & muggy though, but nothing will dry out.

For anyone thinking of replacing their standard George Forman grill with one with removable plates...

DON'T!
  • Fat dribbles all down the back, so not only do you have to wash the removable plates, you then have to go back and clean the whole thing anyway thus there is more to clean than before!
  • There is a bigger gap in the side, so fat splatters out
  • It doesn't get as hot as the standard version, so your food will take longer to cook
  • They only provide one fat catching thingy instead of two, so there's nowhere handy to rest your tongs!
I thought my old George was a great piece of kit, but this one makes me want to get the frying pan out! :wall:

Rant over. :roll:

I actually got one of the ones with removable plates now. Pretty good in my opinion, had it for about 1 1/2 years. Think it's the 12205 one that allows you to change the temperature (why I have no clue it's always set to 170 on mine).
I agree you sometimes have to clean behind the grill etc., but for me it's never been too bad, almost all the fat goes where it supposed to.

It's not perfect but then trying to clean a grill without being able to remove the plates is a fricking nightmare and you end up using rolls of kitchen paper, unless you've found another way of doing it?

Meg Lanning, simply brilliant, plus plays my big 4 shot to bring up her 100 straight through covers! Plus WA girl Rene Farrell with a couple of wickets.... if I ignore the mens games I am a very happy Australian, he he he. We win the series.

I do believe there is a good chance i'd kill the pair of them and dispose of the bodies at the local landfill site/swamp/shark infested swimming pool (delete to suit your local amenities).
It's totally out of order to move her in wiothout permission from you and your husband, never mind consulting you to the possibility.

How long have they been going out together?
Have you spoken to her parents at all to get their take on the situation?

They've been going out for about 3 or 4 months, and no, we haven't been introduced. The problem is that the step-daughter did much the same thing, although she didn't give hers a key, we did that two years down the line. They're now living together in a house of their own, with their daughter.

It's an excellent draw for Huddersfield either way. Leeds would be a great local derby, but Huddersfield have a great history with Arsenal.
