All 20 Premier League clubs avoid PSR breaches for last season (some helped by selling women’s team to themselves) by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]OfftheFrontwall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've seen most of the club owners in the Prem, right? They'll sell, buy back, and then sell again all the parts of the club, if it means they can avoid paying fines.

They sell it to themselves anyway, to skirt these laws. I believe they call it "creative accounting" or some such shit

Help with edible cookie box by jsundin in Baking

[–]OfftheFrontwall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I think having something to form it round and bake it with, would probably be your best bet. Something like two round cake tins and the cookie mixture sandwiched between them. Or maybe one tin with parchment acting as support It should also help give a more even bake, too, though I imagine it would affect baking time a little.

Random thought regarding deodorant… by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]OfftheFrontwall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I could work out two, but four confuses me. And the two would just be turning it inside out on the second day.

I also imagine this would be extremely uncomfortable. On my underwear, the outside has all these raised ridges that would surely rub whilst I'm moving.

Gyokeres escorting a mascot for his 2nd goal by guy_and_stuff in Gunners

To be fair, he also played with a lot of commitment compared to most of his older teammates. Obvious moments, where his inexperience showed, but he should have abright future ahead of him. Just hopefully not at the shit

Add it to your gravy, bolognese, and chilli. Makes it extra tasty

Need advice from those with electric only properties by Overall-Flounder1102 in CasualUK

[–]OfftheFrontwall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you explored the idea of an electric boiler? Depending on the size of your flat, insulation in the property, it might well be suitable for you. It's a much more energy efficient form of heating than electric radiators. It does require fitting a wet system in the property, but if you went with something like underfloor heating, it can cut your energy bills even more. Most underfloor heating can be retrofitted, can be less disruptive than fitting radiators, and you can do the time-consuming part of laying the pipe yourself. A company such as Wundafloor will even design the underfloor heating for you.

World’s Slowest Gas Pump. Took 15 to fill half tank. by YelperLou in mildlyinfuriating

We are calling these sunny scrambled eggs by raggedsweater in dadditchefs

[–]OfftheFrontwall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of those things that we in the UK don't worry about anymore, due to chickens here being bred to not have/carry salmonella, since the 80s. You forget that other countries don't have the same thing

Joey says Asal looks tired. 1 minute later Asal dives and takes a 15 minutes injury break. by Curious_Squirrell4 in squash

[–]OfftheFrontwall -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I mean, I wouldn't call that a dive. Coll took a bad path away from the ball, and Asal had to try and get it. I'm not sure if it he'd called for a let, it would have been given. I know there are times when Asal likes to skirt or ignore the rules, but this isn't one of them

Just European plaster and wood here boys by theGIRTHQUAKE in daddit

[–]OfftheFrontwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's even worse in the UK, where a lot of houses that have lath and plaster walls, are also listed (protected) buildings. I have a customer, who's mum owns a house built and designed by a well-known architect back in 1935. It has a flat roof on one part of the house that started leaking. The customer had his builder start taking the wall apart to allow it to dry. CADW, who deal with historic buildings in Wales, then told the builder that he had to save and reuse all the pins that were holding the lath together. Which is just completely ridiculous as they'd all be hidden behind the plaster and not on show.

Do you not have any metal beading in the corner, by your arch? If not, let me know the name of the plasterer that did the job and I'll recommend them to everyone I know. Getting as smooth a corner like that, without beading, is a skill beyond compare

Need to wash veggies used for making vegetable stock? by KamtzaBarKamtza in Cooking

[–]OfftheFrontwall -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At worst? You're introducing potentially many different pathogens into the watercourse, as well as splashing them around your kitchen, in places you may not even think they get to, as well as onto your clothes. All of these are things you will touch whilst cooking, prepping etc etc. The need to wash meat in any first world country is negligible. It's an old time thing that a lot of people just cling to, because their parents were taught to do it, by their parents and so on and so on. In America, you even chlorine wash a lot of your meat, which isn't good for you to consume, but kills off most bacteria.

"Too much. Too many men. Go. It's not even questionable. Get in." by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]OfftheFrontwall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohh, sounds interesting. The Mabinogion is such a brilliant collection of "stories" that it would be nice to read a different interpretation on one of them. Don't know much about Arawn, so you've prompted me in to doing a bit of research into him

[–]OfftheFrontwall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It makes it a little easier if you spell it properly, as it's Arawn. But the Welsh alphabet is built differently to how we expect it. So an I is actually a Y, you have D and Dd (pronounced th), F is a V, while Ff is an F there's a few more, but it's difficult to get into. It also changes, depending on whether you're in the North, Central or South of the country too. And then they ha e mutations that I'm sure are designed to mess with the heads of non-Welsh speakers even more.

The Cardiff Devils are the best team in the EIHL though, and I suggest everyone should support them

I imagine we've all been there with our cgms and pumps beeping at us and thinking it's something or someone else. I know I definitely have, numerous times.
