OT as hell: ready meals

*Proud*.

I'd have to google too - I'm not much use at remembering dates. Songs -
yes. Lyrics - yes. People - yes. Dates - no.

Genesis were one of the two bands that made prog one of the biggest
selling music forms in the 70's (the other was Yes). So hardly
'obscure' unless you were born in the 80's.

The fact that none of the musicians are short of a few million also
would seem to indicate that they were not that obscure..

The way I feel at the moment I think I'm older than Darwin.. and he's
been dead for ages.

Phil Launchbury says...

We are now into 2007. Life has moved on, people have moved on[1] and
music has moved on. Songs written and recorded in the early 1970s by a
band with limited appeal are now even more obscure.

[1] Well, most have. Some still seem to be stuck in the 70s where music
is concerned.

 

Liking 70s music and music from more recent popular beat combos is not
mutually exclusive, you know.

While it's obvious from my input to this sub-thread that I am a fan of
Genesis and other prog rock, I am definitely not 'stuck in the 70s'.

I have recently seen many, and will be seeing more, bands whose debut
albums were released in the last 2-3 years.

Next up, Bloc Party.

 

Buggeroff. Piece of the proverbial, they are. 3 1/2 minutes, tops.

I use a Pyrex jug, as it is easy to clean:

Get your milk and butter hot - 1 minute.

Crack 2 eggs into the jug and beat **** out of them with a fork.
Season if required.
Place in microwave, with a saucer over the top of the jug.

Full power, 1 minute. Stick toast on at the same time.

*bing* Beat 'em up, add a chunk of grated cheddar if required.
Full power, 1 minute, now-hot saucer on top again.

Toast pops up, do the buttering thing - and then - *bing*

Beat **** out of 'em again and dispense single serving of perfect
fluffy scrambled eggs (with cheese, perhaps) on to two pieces of
toast. Add red or brown or chili sauce, according to mood.

Works every time for me when I want instant scoffage.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buggeroff yerself!

Whilst I won't claim to be as good as those guys on Saturday Morning
Kitchen that can cook a three egg omelette in just over 30 seconds, I'd
easily beat 3 1/2 minutes using the traditional frying pan method.

 

Of course! I'd save time by having black coffee rather than tea and by
not retrieving the sauce from the cupboard as there isn't any in there.

 

Tea bag in mug? TEA BAG IN MUG!

Hangings too good for them. Tea should be made in a warmed pot using
leaves of the finest quality. Not made with floor-sweepings
masquerading as leaves of Camellia Siniensis encased in a limp bag of
dubious provenance and quality!

Your cupboard sucks arse.

 

I'd have Tomato Ketchup, and that's in the fridge.

 

Oh yeah, 'How dare I be so beautiful'

I'll have to check with the Bristol social secretary whther I said to
get tickets or not and to which one.

 

If it's any help (so you know which one to avoid perchance) I'm going
to the one at Colston Halls a couple of days before the RAH one..

Phil.

 

Yes and Bristol.

 

heh. That's your invite knocked on the head then.

I want ketchup and sauce so rarely, it's not worth having in the
cupboard. I'm more a mustard, English natch, and pickle man myself.

 

Loud and sustained applause, brother. And the water must be fresh and just
boiled, still bubbling. AMEN!

Oh, quite. My merkin chums think my house would be a State Monument in
California. It was built in 1931.

Nothing wrong with a good quality tea bag.

I've developed a taste for Glengettie.

 

<take two seeing as the other post went into hyperspace>

I admit to using PG Tips as a standard tipple as opposed to "finest
quality" myself, but otherwise Phil is spot on.

For the home teabag_inna_mug_isti, hanging upside-down in a vat of
boiling Marmite is too good for the heathens.

I might take being a tea drinker at all into account, though.

 

Quite. Or a decent own brand.

Um, I like Marmite as well. Can we punish them with something liquid I don't

Yup.
