I got a tip from a bloke a couple of weeks ago. I don't usually pay any heed to his tips, as he's a racing man and I gave up betting on horses when I realised I was sh1te at it. We just like having a pint with each other. He can afford it (successful businessman) but I can't.

So, he turned around the other day, while we were having a pint; I was heading off explaining to him, that two pints was what my budget could afford, and I was off to make French bread pizzas.

He asked me for my recipe. I told him my tried and tested method. Get some French bread, mash up a tin of peeled tomatoes, fry up some bacon pieces (much cheaper than rashers) and then melt the Cheddar over the top. He considered this and admitted it wasn't a bad method.

Then he enlightened me.

"You should use a gooier, less in your face, cheese, and put slices of apple over the bacon before the final grilling."

I stand in that man's debt.

So AHers, ever get great advice from someone on a topic that you wouldn't have expected them to either expound upon, or indeed, know anything about?

Did you ever have an accountant give you top plumbing advice?

Just interested. It seemed weird to me.

Btw, he's forgotten more about IC layout and clean rooms, than you or I will ever know, and his tip for the Grand National did not produce a profit.

Podge and Rodge told me that sticking a banger up your arse at Halloween was a bad idea

A solicitor and a barrister had a look at the accounts and figured out we needed €85 billion.

Someone who generally has nothing to do with computers once recommended to me a website called 'boards.ie'.
That was the last day I ever got anything productive done.

Now I try not to listen to advice but I probably wouldn't hear it anyway, with my head stuck in a laptop. :pac:

Had a mate that hates gambling give me 3 tips in the Italian soccer today. He had heard from a friend in Italy that there were some fixed games today that would end in a draw. I put them in and the odds came out at around 37/1. I was gonna throw a tenner on it but decided against it. And sure enough they all ended in draws. One of them a crazy game in which a team with 8 men scored twice in injury time to draw. I'll be listening next time he gets wind of fixed games.

Yup. Except you're better off with peeled tomatoes, than pealed tomatoes. They're less likely to wake your mother up.:pac:

Substitute the french bread for a plain bagel and you're onto an even bigger winner OP.

That's how I make Marie-Rose sauce for a prawn cocktail. I'm pretty sure it's not the authentic "classic" recipe. Aah but shur fcuk them.

Edit: "It's far from Marie-Rose sauce you were raised. Or prawn cocktail for that matter" *Takes sip of pint* "Actually, it's far from red sauce or mayonnaise that you were raised either."

Me Da.

I'm not allowed to reply to this post as I've used up my allowance of "La-di-fcuking-da's" for the month. I'll see you in May.

Keep it happy man. No, nice recipe. I was far more forthright with him over his appalling racing tips. I was just having a giggle.
