Apparently not. I got it I this fancy round glazed bread and I thought it was special but it appears the type of bread isn’t actually important. Some serve it in full hollowed out loaves it seems.

If you’d said ‘No Villa this weekend’ I would have followed, but no club football at all sucks. I hate intl breaks. Luckily, the ice hockey season has started so I got my live sports fix anyway.

I hate intl breaks. I'm not particularly interested in football that doesn't involve the Villa - and I dread that, anyway. I was waiting for somebody to take me to task for disregarding the women's games. The novelty of that wore off after the Euros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2022 When Villa (the men’s team) don’t play on a Saturday or the weekend at all, my interest in football is largely focused on which clubs I want to lose the most. If I’m at home, the score updates act as a mildly diverting bit of entertainment in the background. I find it’s not a bad way to follow the game, in all likelihood at least one team I want to suffer a bad result will lose that day. It doesn’t take much for me to consider the day a success in that respect. But they do insist on Villa’s regular participation too, which means this small pleasure is few and far between.

sharkyvilla Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It means number crowds at non-league games though, which does cheer me up. Nearly 1000 at my local team on Saturday, plus you can get drunk while watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 The extract quotes from Alan Rickman’s diary make for wryly entertaining reading. His interaction with John Major is nice - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 The fact that someone wrote this, then learned the script, then acted it out. Then they must have watched it back before coming to the conclusion that it was worth bothering the internet with. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd come across this it may well have ended up in the 'Thing you don't get' thread. If you enjoy it, good for you. For me, nope, nothing. Just mainly WTF on every level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see I use a lot more black pepper than you (I go the bigger bag). Not familiar with the amchoor powder. I see it when I'm shopping but don't use it. What do you use it in and what's it good for? Also what's the orange/red paper bag between the chicken seasoning and garlic paste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what's the orange/red paper bag between the chicken seasoning and garlic paste? Paper bag is gram flour for making pakoras and a little goes in curry paste. Amchoor is mango powder, mainly used in bombay potato but can be added to anything that requires a tangy sweetness.
