It said swede in the supermarket, it said swede on the packaging. It looked like a swede, felt like a swede and tasted like a swede. For some reason, and it's completely unintentional, whenever I have swede I repeatedly refer to it as turnip. I've no idea why I do this, but yes, that is definitely a swede.

Can't be arsed starting a new thread so have this joke that I think is great. I recently opened a company selling trampolines disguised as prayer mats. Prophets are going through the roof. Popped my old man big time as well.

Respectfully, there were some fairly serious and unwarranted suggestions levelled against me in relation to predatory sexual behaviour. I pushed back at the time, as I expect most people would, but believe me when I say I found it a bit unsettling, and that's understating it. As the thread has progressed, it appears to me that the contribution that prompted this exchange isn't at odds with the content, tone or spirit of contributions from other posters. Under the circumstances, I don't think it was entirely unreasonable for me to feel that I wanted to get that off my chest. Perhaps I shouldn't have, but at the same time, I'm pleased that I attempted to do so in a reasonably civil way, although I appreciate that it won't be to everyones tastes.

So, I am at a conference about 20 miles west of Dublin next Monday and Tuesday, and I fly over on Sunday for it. Bruce is playing Dublin next Sunday, so I will be raising a formal complaint with the conference organisers for bad scheduling. But he is playing Kilkenny this Sunday. I am now wondering if there is any way I can get from Kilkenny to Maynooth in time for the conference starting on Monday morning. Google Maps says no, but does the UKFF have a way?

Not wishing to stray into the bap/roll/batch territory but that's a swede you've got there isn't it. A turnip looks like this. Swede big and yellow, turnip, small and white. Me vegetable racist it seems.

It turned out alright. Its safe to say that while it tasted great, the presentation was borderline offensive so I decided against taking a picture. Mustard in the neeps sounds tremendous, and definitely something I'll try when the pickier eaters are out the picture.

Do you know what I think is a bit over the top and unnecessary?

Rejected franchise names included the Pittsburgh Prune, Salt Lake Sultana and of course the California Raisin. I think 'current' (rather than 'currant') refers to the fact that Kansas City straddles two states either side of a fast-flowing river, with the bigger 'half' actually in Missouri. So if you question that then you should also be baffled by Rapid Vienna, whose success over Energy Drink FC caught most people out this week. Glad to know you're still enjoying the American matches though! Anyhow, the results went into the initial post on Monday night, with the table since updated too. Lots of movement considering it was a low-scoring round late in the season, but where it matters Rory is unchanged at the top and even extends his lead into double figures, while Chutney Spoon remains in last place with gap still at 22 points. If what Bent Wookie says is accurate then he'd be sixth, just ahead of Vegeta on most exact scores – but instead he spares himself being the clear worst performer of the week, plus it would've dragged the average below 6 this time out as well. Given the narrow spread of scores, you'd think there was a good chance we'd have had a draw in the FPL Cup final. And it was indeed close, but we do have a definitive winner: congrats to MVP RULZ on yet another Predictions League trophy! Another one to stick in his cabinet, then... but he's got some work to do in these next few weeks to secure The Double. He actually lost his first Cup tie to me (of all people) in the group stages, then the cross-pool game against Pete in November, but then went on a run of five unspectacular efficient wins in a row to nab his latest trinket. The only bonus point this time was due to the Brighton-Villa result where nobody else went for a home win. Yes, the home side are out of form but Villa look absolutely knackered. Coincidentally I've booked myself a tour of the AmEx for the start of next month. Elsewhere, victories for Forest, Man City, Newcastle Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool plus a stalemate at the Bus Stop in Hounslow were all generally good for one-pointers. The scale of Palace's triumph on Bank Holiday Monday caught most people out, while the outcome over the pond produced our only correct exact score guess as Rory went for a 1-1 tied game. No more D2Ds or Cup now, so just two ordinary rounds to go and then the 'bumper' final week. Next card in the original post in just a tick.

I think that's a little bit over the top and unnecessary, but each to their own.

Buff Bagwell has just been announced for this show as well.

Love this.

I enjoyed this episode it was a story I've not really heard much about in depth before and was absolutely shocked at the end when they talked about the recent exploits of Vince that right there is a extended documentary waiting to happen just needs someone and people attached that will not pull punches and speak truly about his evil exploits

Chipster - A bearded trendy type wrongun who thinks salad cream on a chip batch is acceptable, and also wrongly think proper chippys don’t do kebabs. Probably one for the UKFF Thesaurus thread.

This is one of the worst sentences I have ever read.

Flair definitely thought it was his own reflection when he woo'd in the old ladies face.

Careful, I got cancelled in this thread yesterday and had to spend a couple of posts doing the wokey cokey for that kind of talk. However, If you do find footage of the blind grandmother please let me know,,,but I CONDEMN IT IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS.

To be fair, he was also wrestling Ric Flair. Having attended both TNA and WWE house shows in that building in the years that followed the Edge debacle, the reverence is such that Beer Money and Charlotte were among the most popular acts purely for being managed by Flair. That being Charlotte who was a heel at the time wrestling two babyfaces, and Beer Money who were wrestling British Invasion… in Britain.

I got RDR2 when it came out, played through the opening few hours which seemed like it lasted forever, got to camp, got excited that I could now do stuff, got overwhelmed and then stopped playing. Reading all the posts above make me want to go back and experience all that good stuff. My main problem with games like this is an odd anxiety that I get whereby I think I’m somehow playing it wrong, or doing the wrong stuff or not following the game where I should be following. If I could get over that and just enjoy my time in the game, I’m sure I’d get much more from it. It’s odd, actually, as I had no such anxiety with BoTW when being presented with a seemingly endless world to explore and it remains my favourite ever game. I should also add that I get bored quite easily, which may explain why the opening of the game frustrated me somewhat.

This is odd, but apparently (I say this because I don't remember it) I replied to that thread, pointing out that slagging off salad cream is a bit odd when they basically have the same thing in Miracle Whip. I didn't mention the fact that putting salad cream in it is heresy, because millions of others had already done that job.

Haggis is delicious. Hope it turns out alright. I found that putting a big dollop of grain mustard in with the neeps gives them a lovely boost of flavour.

Always thought it was a stupid name. They should've called it the MeltzDown.

Not cooked yet, but I fear this is as good as this dish is going to look. Haggis and Turnips. I might wing some potatoes in as well. Bottom of the pile Haggis this, second only to the tinned stuff which I have resorted to before. I've tried sneaking in some decent haggis from farm shops etc but the family won't have it, the cheaper the better for these weirdos. This is actually considered a treat in these parts, before anyone considers getting social services involved.

Scratch that:
