Right... well, to continue with the rediculous foodie based theme developing here... I remember... a long long time ago when I was a young scallywag, I tried to dodge a fair and jumped a ticket barrier on the Paris metro. I was promptly pulled up by humourless smurf gendarme fella and shown a list of potential fines. He ran his finger up and down the list for a bit before settling on, what he thought, was an appropriate penalty for me to cough up... which, without protest, I promptly forked out on account that he had a dirty big gat.Anyway, this has got me thinking, maybe we should introduce something similar here - a list of penalties for thread derailment violations. I thought we could call it the Punishment Menu... what you think?
A little bit of on- line research shows MMR to be Margaret Mortington-Rabbage, CEO of the British Cake Marketing Board. Hmmmmm do that's why she's always going on about cake. She wants us to buy more cake! Mmmmmmmm cake.
I'd like to report a derailment in the baking thread.
Hey!Anyone have a recipe for carrot cake? Preferably using rainbow carrots...
Lets get this derailment thread back on the rails. Old school. (Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)Is this a food thread? Here’s my breakfast. Will I still be able to get my sticky Italian sausages after Brexit? Worries, worries.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Fuzzy, it's a learning process. Next time we get some detainees that haven't exploded themselves and escaped, we'll know not to do that class. I'm having second thoughts about the escape and evasion class now............

That’s all well and good but when can I get some chocolate
