What do you guys do to get rid of used cooking oil? I don't cook with it very often (only in small amounts), but I just made some super-yummy patatas bravas, and now have a vatload of the stuff to get rid of. One website says soak it in bread and put bread out for birds. Is that a mad idea?

My mum just reuses it actually - she has a bottle that she uses for occasionally making chips and just pours it back in and keeps it in the cupboard. Saves waste :yes:

I've just finished packing for my conference. Leaving tomorrow for Austria, so so excited! And also nervous. I'm hoping I can hide in a corner with my poster so no-one asks me anything tricky :colondollar:

And isn't the point of "tricky" questions to pick up on things you might have missed that could improve your research? :smile:

Yeah, I'm going to try hard to actually talk to people but I do find it difficult because I've been doing this for about 6 months and there are some pretty big cheeses in my field at the conference who've been doing it their whole life - scared I'm going to say something totally stupid :redface:

You'll be fine, my lovely. Have confidence in sunshine, in rain, that spring will come again! :awesome:

That will do, yes :yep:

PS. Seeing Wicked with Laura on the 20th. You need to get down to London sometime soon so we can see a musical :cool:

I only know because I'm a PS-helper, and [s] used to be the strikethrough tag. Now whenever I want to tell someone to delete an 'enthralled' (really hate that word, it's worse than 'passionate'), I have to spell out every time. Very annoying. :sigh:

You've never clicked 'Advanced' and had a strike button alongside all the other ones? So you just highlight what you wanna cross out and strike? :s-smilie:

hahahaha, I've been meaning to actually start writing my commentary for a tutorial since yesterday. First I copied the text on a paper. Then I learned the translation. Then I wrote the translation (part of the essay). Then I scanned every single line (found the metre of the lines - 50 in total, took me about 3 hours). Then I read a few books about the passage. Then I wrote the lines I need to comment on in a word. Then I spent some time on TSR. Now I finally have the first two lines of the actual commentary!! As Horace says, well begun is half done :tongue:

I keep complaining that the MSt in oxford is really short, whereas most unis give the students the whole summer to work on their dissertation, but on days like this I realise I could probably write two dissertations if I could stop wasting my time :frown:

Force yourself into the Bod. Works for me! If I attempt to work at home, I inevitably end up in my pyjamas with the laptop on my knees/napping. I think the slightly panicked atmosphere of the RadCam is more conducive to me working than bed, a duvet, and the tele!
