Is that Red Tomato as in 800-TOMATO?? -- Mon May 23, 2011 4:56 pm -- And by the way.....if you feel the need for Fish n Chips (probably only Brits will like this), then The Fish and Chip Room in JBR is not too bad, until you get to the price. Fish and Chips for two. Peas.Curry sauce. Gravy (Oh yes.....

I mean Mrs Giggs....or as she calls herself, Stacey Cooke. She's probably not too sad, as any divorce payout in the future has just gone throught the roof, as she's now on record as the wronged woman, in a very public way. And by the way, as a bloke, i agree with your comment, BM - why would this be...

Of course it takes two to tango, but when it comes to injunctions and privacy, its 'the one with the money who protects his name and family life and effectively throws the woman to the lions. Hardly gentlemanly behaviour, if you ask me. For that reason alone, that he left her to face the music whils...

She will probably string it out until he quits football - after that she will probably bail out with a few million. He's not exactly Mr Personality, and so i don't think he would have a big career as a pundit or similar after he finishes playing. When he's not playing, reality will set in, and she w...

I wonder who will be 'outed' next. Hugh Bonneville, the actor. Same hooker as Rooney. I did it yesterday! :D There is a nice list of all such injunctions on the net, for all to read.-- Tue May 24, 2011 1:54 pm --....and by the way - Giggs' secret name on the injuction - CTB.....

Love it.

A large helping on toast with plenty of butter.

I'm quite happy to eat 4 or 5 slices instead of something more usual for lunch.

65% this.....51% that.....

Shame and Honour - easily dealt with by having totally blacked out windows, then you can do as you please without having to be seen, and hence, shamed. Oh....and a by-product is your car will be cooler also.... :D Oh, and you can stare at women from behind your blacked out glass too, without being s...

er no it doesn't! It works for a day or two, then they're back. If you're saying that unloading half a can of Pif Paf, RAID or similar "wet" solutions is not working on them, then i suggest you grab what you can, and run for your life! I had them when i lived in the Marina - on the 17th F...

I think this is a supply problem, rather than the official lie that they are upgrading - who in their right mind would try to upgrade all the stations at once????? Reading some analysis that is floating around in the news, the petrol stations actually make losses on the fuel, as the prices are set b...

photo shoot or not, the acts they did is against the law. So how come they wont be arrested or charged for it? Never mind the acts being illegal - i think she was lucky to get away with the cheese-string swimming costume she was wearing (if you can call it that). I thought things were not acceptabl...

In the last few years i have developed an interest in Photography, and really think that if i could make a decent living as a photgrapher then i would drop what i do now in an instant.

Have you reproduced any on canvas? Not yet, but it's planned sometiem soon. I have four in my living room mounted and framed (A4), and managed to break the glass in another so need to get another frame. And thanks for your comment!

I agree about the B+W - it does bring out areas of light in the picture that the eye can see (if you concentrate!). None of these have been heavily processed - just converted to black and white film and the light / contrast adjusted to give a good result - just what you would do while processing &qu...

How many people really look at the person in front of them or the person behind them when going through security?? I do. All the time. Mainly in case someone nicks my stuff!

Correct me if i'm wrong, someone, but Alcohol is haram too isn't it? But that doesn't stop people of the Muslim faith indulging in it (some, not all, i hasten to add). And that isn't frownerd upon, and so why would tatoos be so bad? Also, Henna is used frequently as a decoration (albeit temporary). ...

I'm a smoker. So i wont be able to see any adverts for cigarettes (No problem - i already have my favourite brand and know where to buy them). I won't be able to smoke in my car with anyone 12ys or under (I have no need or desire to have any kids in my car, so OK there too). I'm also over 18, (so i ...

Got a few out of focus shots with my DSLR - too far away for my camera to focus automatically and it was too humid on my balcony for me to bother attempting a proper job.

Must try harder next time!

So how is it that Students and Teachers, and even Corporate Team Building is cheaper than private groups? (How the hell can you team build on a fishing trip anyway?????!).

It really irks me that Students always get discounts, when they probably make up the smallest slice of your trade).

It's normal and happens one every rink. As more and more people go round and round, the top surface gets cut up and melts. Normally, at regular intervals, they bring out a little seeper type of thing and mop up the surface, and then it re-freezes. Of course, if it's 2 inches deep, then there is more...

Yes....cue the responses about various bars, nightclubs, etc...... Question is, does anyone know any shops in Dubai that sell Crumpets?

hmm have you tried Waitrose in Dubai Mall? I don't really know what they are myself but I'm guessing Waitrose may have them since its an English store.
