water is very, very hard - scales all over the place. bring a filter if you don't like calcium supplements in your daily diet. (colourless milk, anyone :biggrin:

)

but hard water tastes nicer :smile:

(although where i live has, apparently, the best tasting water in the country..so its got to be worse than what im used to!)

and personally i like calcium supplements. Begone, osteoporosis!

hmm... i guess they really don't know, do they?

I would suspect Eton have a stronger cliam. Firstly the chap was an Etonian afterall, and secondly the boat race itself was modelled on the Eton-Westminster match.

in my town i highly doubt they would recognise anything. even if you had a tshirt saying "university of cambridge" even if they could read it they would probably think it was one of those fake university teshirts you can get from topshop etc.

if anything they would thnk the scarf was for a football team or something

lol!! ditto :biggrin:

microwaves are convenient, but heavy to move around.

What I think is quite a good idea is to club together with whoever you're living with and get one microwave for your kitchen. Then when you move out (as you invariably won't stay together after your first year) you can leave it for the new folks! Someone did that for us; it was much appreciated, and my new neighbours and I are probably going to do the same next year.

Faboba - I wouldn't bother with the cake tins; it's highly unlikely you'll have an oven. :frown:

Nadia's is the answer :wink:

takes getting used to. personally, i drink tap water, but i do get the occasional "eeewww...." from friends, so... :rolleyes:

never did understand the fascination with microwavable food - always felt that it tasted and felt more like the plastic packaging rather than actual food... much rather just boil up a chicken leg and throw a bit of soy sauce on - cheap, easy, fast, and decent tasting. (warning: a bit "chinese" tasting though)

you know, i don't think i've actually been into Nadia's yet... (but then again, i'm not much for sweet things or confections in general - i hardly take dessert)

oh, about microwaves and ovens - personally i'd recommend a small oven over a microwave - much more versatile, if somewhat slower than a microwave. and small ovens tend to be a LOT lighter and smaller, probs something to do with magnets or something... and 'sides, come up empty handed, and you can always get stuff 2nd hand off other people - cheaper, and more convenient (don't have to lug it from home) :biggrin:

my home cooking will tend to consist of just pancakes, because that's what i like to cook. Apart from that, bacon rocks....actually, anything cooked in a frying pan rocks!

Why do you think girls like fried food more than boys?

No... I'll refer you to my profile to explain what I meant...

Just realised I can't, so I'll paste it here...

About Me:
Strange wee Irishman. Medical student from October. Devoid of all practical skills (but luckily I have a great wee girlfriend who is really practical and looks after me!) and would probably blow my house up or burn it down left to my own devices (by accident, of course!) Riomhphost: polthegael ag/at vodafone pointe/dot ie
Turn Ons:
I guess you mean girls... Short (about 5ft), plump (size 16-26), round faces, round ears, little up-turned noses, longish black/red hair, and enough intelligence to engage in reasoned debate.
Turn Offs:
Tall skinny blondes (no insult intended - I just don't want to sleep with them, which they'll probably view as a positive thing!).

Point taken..? :smile:

can't a guy like to cook? I take grate satisfaction in producing some exquisite and extremely tasty treat from raw ingredients, it always makes it taste better. I'm a guy who likes my food (probably because thankfully I have a high metabolism), and so I like both quantity and quality. Some of that quality can only come from home cooked stuff. I'm not a very good cook I can admit, most of the stuff I can make is basic. But I can tell ya, food tastes better when you cooked it from scratch!

I still dont see how liking fried food is feminine? I like fried food cos it tastes good...simple as!

Sainsbury's microwave lasagne for 88p - brilliant and surprisingly tasty! Just don't look at the salt content :redface:

And my friends bought my birthday cake from Nadias - a 3 layer, double chocolatey monstrosity! :biggrin:

It was fantastic.

Nice pun

I always used to do all the cooking when I lived with my wife. Now I tend to see to myself and Katie when she comes home from work sometimes.

I'm not at all against guys cooking! :smile:
