If you cook scrambled egg on non-stock frying pan, it doesn't stick.
Mind blown!
Why the hell was I shown how to make scrambled eggs in a stainless steel pot?? I've always assumed there was a reason it needed to be on a pot, so have done it this way for the past 20(?) yrs. I've always meant to try/buy a non stick pot for this but never got round to it...

I don't want to blow your mind further, but you can cook scrambled eggs using plastic containers, in a microwave.

Jackson Browne and James Taylor are different people.
For some reason I have always attributed songs written by one to the other and vice versa.

It took an nine year old thread to explain the second meaning of the chicken crossing the road joke to me. I'm 50.

The reason why theatre people say "break a leg" is that they want you in the "cast". I only found this out last week after four decades on this earth.

Someone is pulling your leg.

It's believed to be bad luck to wish someone well in the theatre. "Break a leg" is supposed to confuse the evil spirits.

And both were stepkids of Harry Enfield and she was the inspo for his baby loulou sketches.

Especially if you are doing the Scottish play.

No it doesn't. Do you think the current 'woke' crazies would allow the word to continue if that were the case?!

Do you have Windows 10? Go to the Windows 10 search bar along the bottom of your screen and type "Pictui", and look closely..

Picasso was alive and well when The Beatles broke up, and when Elton John released 'Rocketman'.

It has been over 40 years since Jimmy Carter finished his presidency term. He is still alive today.

The Bond film Never Say Never Again is the one where Connery returned after saying he was finished with the films. I always said it as Never Say Never...Again but I just twigged it should be Never Say 'Never Again' ie Connery said he would 'never again' play Bond but they persuaded him to do it.

Ah Jaysus.

You must not have seen the film of the same name; well worth a look. You (probably) won't regret it.

Needed to give off an "I care" vibe there for a while. Say nothin'.

Notre Dame University in America and the football club of the same name are based in Indiana. I'd have bet the house that it was in Boston, or at least Massachusetts.

Brendan Bendar · 19-06-2021 08:36PM

South Bend Indiana to be exact.

I could never remember their names, so up to a few minutes ago I was convinced that Matthew Rhys (the actor from Brothers and Sisters) and Kerr Van Cleeve Smith (who was in Dawson's Creek) were the same person.

I know, I know...
