  1. Fact: James Milner will be eating Christmas dinner on Christmas day and will still play amazing the next day against Arsenal.

    Fact: James Milner told the Premier League to move this game to the 27th so he could enjoy his Xmas lunch then have a jog down to London on Boxing Day to blow off the cobwebs

    Nearly correct.... infact after Xmas lunch, James Milner intends to swim the Atlantic so he can celebrate christmas again in New York, after that he will take a quick run to California and celebrate another..... then after swimming the pacific and then the indian oceans he will reach land the southern tip of India, he will then run to Nepal so he can jump everest before having a run through europe to Calais, by now the game would have kicked off and Villa will have a free kick, the ball will hit the crossbar and rebound to Milner who will be having lunch at a Calais cafe, knowing the keeper is off his line Milner will hit a lob straight back and score.....

  2. There are 16,777,216 cells on a blank excel document....... therefore you could write the entire bible old and new testaments using a letter in each cell on the same sheet at least 3 times including using cells for spaces.

    Also and i may be wrong on this one........ if all the people who had ever died were bought back to life on a new world the population would still be less than the world we live in.

  3. Veg - cover a baking tray in foil, with enough left to cover the contents. Chop veg into decent size chunks, few twists of salt and pepper and a few knobs of butter. cover tightly with the foil and make a little slit so the steam can escape, in the oven at 200 or 180 for fan assisted. About 45 minutes should be just right..... perfect.

    A note for the inexperienced. Cooking time will vary according the the veg and how tightly packed it is - so carrots will take longer than broccoli, for example. Dropping a knob of butter in is useful, but better is to pour a little bit of olive oil on the foil and spread all over with your fingers, so that anything you cook will be less likely to stick to the foil. Don't cut a hole in the foil - the point is to capture the steam, not let it escape. Wrap it before placing on the baking tray, so you can fold over two or three times on a flat surface to get a good seal.

    I think we are having pork this christmas, we live not far from The Store in Foveran which was on local food heroes, the meat and veg you get is so much better than anything else. And they do a mean Stovie which is great on a cold day. We had gammon at new year from there last year and it was heavenly cooked in coca cola with a few onions in the pot.

    I think that may be the same "The Store" as in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh shop closed down last weekend. Shame - it was a good place, with some very good products. Times are getting tough out there.

    Oh - one more thing. There is never any excuse for cooking anything in coca-cola, anywhere, ever.

    Yeah i think it is the same 'The Store' lovely fresh food. I'll keep in mind the veg tips the more veg i eat the healthier imagine i am..... to hell with the fact they are cooked in butter....

    re- the coca cola thing, the missus wanted to do it cos Nigella did it. It was actually quite nice.

    Any tips on making a decent onion gravy, tried one last night, couple of large onions sliced slowly cooked until soft and brown, bit of salt and pepper and added the stock with a bit of cornflour to thicken, was nice but lacked a certain something, would i have been best to add a splash of something like a half decent rex wine or a bit of ale?
