Hard News: Because it's about time we…, in reply to Amy Gale,
New Zealanders who buy a tiny jar and keep it around for years so they can make that one Alison Holst biscuit recipe
Or add a teaspoonful to a chocolate cake!

The French make bad coffee too, in my experience. In Italy, even the coffee served in motorway service stations is superb.
Yes, the Italians make excellent wine, as well. There's a saying amongst wine buffs (or snobs, if you will) that the French export all their good wine and drink the shit, and the Italians do the opposite.

I always thought you were meant to press the plunger slowly, no?
Yes, slowly....pushing too hard can be dangerous, as Ben has described. I've also heard of one exploding, but then I suspect the person doing the pushing was ignorant about what can happen when you compress water in a glass container.

Oh, yes. Lions' tour circa 1959 - iirc - when hotel staff still brought in the early morning cuppa at 6-30 or thereabouts, and the tourists (players and journos alike) were like startled little jackrabbits. Something to write home about, apparently. And about that time many stories about "Tea! Do you take sugar? Oh, don't stir it then..."
ETA: Can you guess I've just got back to my computer after several hours away?

We're largely ovo-lacto vego, so eat cheese, yoghurt, eggs. I'm making gnocchi tonight, if anyone besides me is interested :))

Never heard of a vegan aioli ...
Mm. Yerp. My mistake....I was totally focussed on the garlic.

One thing is recording a mistake, another saying that it's an acceptable alternative spelling. It isn't - at least not yet.
I'd be inclined to put quotes around the word in question. But that's just me....

Ooh, thanks for the info! I thought it always was vegan-friendly. Lashings of guacamole and aioli....fantastic. (Never thought of honey though.)

Legal Beagle: Coalition of Losers, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
I never knew that Geoffrey Palmer was known as “Piggy”. Learn something new …. etc.
Um. Late to this, and may be missing the point, but "Piggy" was Muldoon.
ETA: Ah, I see further on that it's the line not the person. As you were. -

but Dominos’ Tofu – Yes! yum, fond memories…
Do they not do that any more? If they do, I'll be in there....
Burgerfuel used to do a delicious tofu burger, then removed it from the menu, sans notice of any sort. I sent a mildly complaining (well, whingeing really) email to them, which they kindly ignored, so I've never been back.
