The League Paper

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Sun Sep 06, 2009 1:11 pm

Did anyone get The League Paper this morning?

It had a picture of Danny Wilson having lunch with a David Beckham lookalike in order to promote a new hotel. :grin:

Brilliant picture, it could have fooled me into thinking he looked like Becks. :laugh:

it will have been a Danny Wilson lookalike - there's no way they could have afforded the real one

Forgive me if I'm been stupid here....but what the fuck is the 'League Paper'????

Is it like the News of The World????

Hangem · **Posted:** Mon Sep 07, 2009 5:11 am

Its a decent paper for all the footy on a Sunday morning if you dont like reading about anything that happens in the premiershite!! Cost £1.50 mind but has a decent write up off all the games and general news from all the leagues.

It seems strange that places sell the non-league one but not the league paper

Morrisons also do the non-league paper, bit weird.

Mr Ripper · **Posted:** Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:36 am

They sell the League Paper in Tesco.

Asda and Morrisons are for chavs and scruffs.

Proof that both Morrisons and asda are bounders

ASDA may be a correctly put by Mr Ripper for "lower end" of the market but let's not forget the support they gave "The Monkeyhanger" project during our media whoring days ..

Without them our little foray into the Top 40 would've been impossible

I fully fully fully concur.

I don't have a problem with Asda, only with the exceedingly high number of fat, smelly, thick, ignorant no-marks who use their aisles as a place to meet their peers or let their kids run, scream and cry.

And the yakkers seem to use the place for a day out, which may in some part explain the above.

Fortunately for Tesco they're far enough away from most of the bus routes to discourage the chavtastic element of our society from making the effort to get there.

For the rest of you heathens, a tray of roast vegetables with fresh Rosemary and Garlic is one of the finest things in the world. I bet you rabble shot a few Aunt Bessies in for your Sunday Roast dinners?

Parsnips, Spuds. Carrots and Roast Celery.

Tramps. :grin:

Not wanting to hijack the thread but I seem to recall you explaining the best way of making roast potatoes not so long ago. Im doing a roast at the weekend and would be very greatful for the best way of doing roasties. My nan used to use goose fat or something.

The best way to do roasties is thus...

Part-Boil them for about ten minutes max.

Shot them in a colendar, and "Chuff them up" a bit..this is so you get the "bits" on them..they go nice and crispy when they are roasted.

Get a roasting dish, pre-heated in the oven with a splosh of extra virgin olive oil, a few cloves of garlic left "uncrushed", and a few sprigs of rosemary.

Put your part-boiled spuds, parsnips and carrots (any combi...Ive done Onions and Celery this way too) but make sure they are all laid across the bottom of the tray not piled high..., you want to roast them, not steam 'em.

Throw some sea-salt and black pepper on the top.

Stick it in the top of a hot oven

Turn them after half an hour, out of the oven in an hour.

You'll never buy an Auntie Bessies again.

Many thanks!! clappp

Sounds fantastic and Im feeling quite hungry now. Will give that a try at the weekend!

Mr Ripper · **Posted:** Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:14 pm

Extra virgin olive oil?

For roasties? stpid

Get proper lard in there mixed with duck fat. :razz:

Cookerys great, it's the new footy.

Best programme on the telly is Come Dine With Me. FACT.

We watch that programme at home. The only problem is the contestants on there blatantly vote tactically on there in my opinion.

If someone really thinks that someone's meal deserved 8/10, then they feel somewhat inclined to give them a 7. :laugh:

well done sherlock, I would give everyone a 2 if I was on there so I could win the money its called playing the game.

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:51 pm

So this problem of tactical voting happens on other TV shows as well... :laugh:

Honestly, there have been times they've given them a score that that meal really didn't deserve and I thought, "How on Earth can they honestly give that meal that score?"

I am agreeing with you there. But as for actually cooking. Nah. Hate it. Too much time wasted. A pointless exercise.

You must mean 'pointless if you can get someone else to do it'? :wink:
