    Pep Guardiola and people believing he is actually a world class manager. 

    He has now stated that even with the one of the most largest and most expensively put together squads ever assembled in the history of sport he thinks that maybe they should of got the cheque book out again last summer and bought more players in. Which is now the plan for this month. The bloke has had a career at 3 large clubs who have certainly in citys case bought the league that they happen to be in. 
    Agree. He’s obviously a very good coach, but I would win the champions league if I had Puyol, Pique, Dani Alves, Buesquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and David Villa playing for me.

    Cracking Eggs:

    Why when I appear to crack my eggs with the same pressure on the side of a cup can I go from perfection, waiting to be whipped for scrambled eggs to small bits of shell that needs to be fished out with a small spoon.

    I was on a decent run but this morning after the cricket finished I thought I would've an early breakfast and I ended up shell shocked. 

    Is it random or is it skill 🤔

    It could possibly be skill. Maybe you need an egg-cracking coach to help you through this bad patch.

    We crack ours using the back of a knife. I've posted on here before, that when Mrs Stig went through a bad patch I watched her and discovered she'd developed a double tap that she was completely unaware of. The first tap broke the shell nicely, but the second one eggsploded the yolk. Might be worth getting a friend to watch what you do.

    There are life coaches so why not egg coaches 🤔
    Apologies for the delay in replying but Mrs Soapbox always uses the back of a knife and has a high success rate but we find it difficult to both be in the kitchen at the same time because of our Eggo's, so I didn't realise her method of attack untill recently.

    To be fair he has won a few things and although I agree with you about the money there have been quite a few clubs that have played Top Trumps with footballers a good many of them don't win much.

    Food waste!
    It doesn’t matter how many times I ask to check what’s there before more is bought, I still find moldy rank vegetables at the bottom of the drawer!
    Aaaaargh!
    yeah, but who wants to eat moldy rank vegetables ?
    No wonder they are left in the drawer

    Can you not pee in your own bucket, or is Mr Tatters's particularly pungent?
    Or are you simply too busy getting a 'big crusty load from the bakers'?
    (already wishing I hadn't asked)
    Sadly it's only man wee that puts them off

    As I only live 300 metres from a woods we have many issues with foxes and if they are not mating in my garden, or pissing they will find the small recycling food bins and pull the handle back and leave food rubbish all strewn across the front garden. 
    To counteract this my Wife said go out there at 12.30 AM and give it some Man wee in the front garden.
    For some reason I thought I would donate draught wee and not bottled piss. 

    It was a Monday night so the Cul de sac should be quiet and none of the six houses down my end should notice. I didn't realize until I got close to my neighbours house on the right and the direction the foxes approach from, they had Light sensors put in that day.

    'I bottled it' from then on .

    just to clarify, is this-

    a) people who piss in the sea and therefore don't eat fish or
    b) people who don't eat fish because fish piss in the sea?

    I'm struggling to believe that either group exist

    b) they do exist. Met one in real life today and have seen on come dine with me others who refuse to eat fish because they swim in their own pee.

    People who go on Freecycle to get stuff and then sell it. Last time I put something on there’s bloke said he’d have it and then the next day I put something else totally unrelated on there and he got in touch to say he was coming to get the first thing and would have the second thing too. Told him the first thing had gone as he hadn’t turned up when he said he would and so had the second thing. Gave them to folk that sounded genuine. Will probably just give stuff to charity shops now, at least a charity will get the proceeds.

    I mean who hasnt pissed in the sea? If you spend any time on a boat (or Yacht if you're posh like me) you'll notice that sewage gets pumped into the water and the fish just eat it right up.

    And then the crew catch the fish and cook them for dinner and the cycle of life begins again

    Everyone was pissing in the pool on my last holiday. The reason I know this is because there was only one single toilet black for three pools and it was not exactly close to all the pools.

    As a rule, I only shit in the pools, I keep it concealed in my trunks obviously.

    I'm one of these all or nothing kind of guys.

    In Bitch & Stitch yesterday I may as well said I kill and eat puppies after I admitted not only do I not own a dishwasher but I have no intention of ever owning an airfryer ffs!
    I gave in & let him have his Kitchen Aid. It’s a fabulous dust collector in the pantry after I finally got sick of looking at it in the kitchen doing nothing!

    So it was just gathering dust in one room and you’ve moved it to do the same.

    Glad it’s not just me. No dishwasher here either.

    Couldn't live without my dishwasher. Love cooking and create quite a lot of washing up. It runs almost every day. Far quicker to load and unload than wash up and more energy and water efficient too. 

    When we do our extension I'm considering sticking our current washing machine in the utility room and getting a new integreated one in the new kitchen to have two. So useful for hosting, bbqs, christmas parties, and just friends round for dinner. Get all your prep stuff done and rubbing in one dishwasher and then still have one empty ready to load all the plates and seeing dishes into!

    Yes, we never wanted a dishwasher until we got one.
    How wrong were we?
    Brilliant never having to wash up, unless one finds washing up enjoyable.
