That's what I took it to mean. It's was obvious that Hillary Clinton was going to be the Democrat's nominee but yesterday Bernie Sanders wasn't going to admit defeat. It looks like today he has. It's been entertaining watching from over the pond, but I don't envy you Americans the choices...

OH NO!!! I'm out tonight!!! I never go out!!! Why, God, why?? Never mind, I'll watch it tomorrow in iPlayer. We're actually going out to one of Paul Foot's Secret Gigs. Totally love him big-time - this is about the billionth time we've seen him. Watch out, Paul - I'm going to be weird...

They were and are all lovely, but you have to admit that they're traditionally beautiful. Can I tempt you to another blonde, but with more hidden charms, say, Margaret Thatcher..? [emoji38][emoji23][emoji38][emoji23]

This is a spin-off from another thread as I thought there may be some other people out there who have crushes on more unconventional people. I'm proud to say I have a lot of them! These are some examples, but I have a whole lot more! Tall, gangly Jewish men such as Jeff Goldblum, Leonard...

Have you tried the roasted version? I find it much nicer than microwaving or frying it as it's much drier. I add some cumin and coriander seeds and it's really lovely. This is the recipe I use - it's at the end of the article...

Yep, completely agree - I can't stand it. I was so excited when I first heard about it, but it's not for me. I've washed and washed it, but you can't get rid of the stink. Even dousing it in sesame oil after cooking doesn't get rid of it! The texture's also v strange - as @Gezzabelle says...

Indeed. I missed that tasty morsel. Come on @Robinredbreast - dish the dirt! (I'd say spill the beans, but beans are way too carby!) We're waiting... [emoji3]

Do these help? [emoji204][emoji205]

Quite. He's also "writing" his own music. At top volume. And he's not talented. My husband has arranged to talk with him about it tonight. Wish us luck - this is unhinging us. Thanks for the support guys - the solidarity helps. (Even if you won't donate large sums of money!)

Ha ha - I thought you were telling us about your urine at first! Fab news - good luck - you know you're our hero! [emoji8]

How about a hug until one of us farts?! I'm too old to be sharing space with such idiots! Does anyone feel like giving me a lot of money so we can move? Pretty please? [emoji120]

Thank you! We live in a converted Victorian house, divided into four flats. We're in the top one and the noisy ones are below us. The ones on the ground floor have bedrooms in an extension so don't get the full whammy of the noise. Music, slamming doors, idiot friends, piano, water hammers...

He sounds like it! I'm in the middle of a strop-off with mine at the moment. Let's just say the idiot downstairs kicked off all night again last night and tempers are a bit frayed due to lack of sleep! [emoji31]

@13lizanne thank you! I'm very jealous - it's NOTHING like the view from my flat! I love the tunnel - how long did it take your husband to cut that out? Does he have a machete?! We've just been to the dump and the charity shop to offload stuff in the middle of a hot, sticky and rainy...

Oh, oh, oh (at the risk of sounding like something from When Harry Met Sally!) - that is sooooo cute! I've got a case of the warm and fuzzies! @Robinredbreast - THANK YOU so much for searching that out. Huge hugs to you. xoxoxo

I'm not on Facebook, so can't access that link - what was it? (Sorry, just call me Mrs High Maintenance!)

Truly perfection - thank you! [emoji108]

I think we all need a group hug, now - you lot are my saviours and I love you all! Thank you for taking this thread and running with it (even if you are just chilled-out groovy hippies!) [emoji199][emoji111][emoji199][emoji111]

Thanks for that, @Robbity - although you may come to regret it! Do you remember this smiling bee from 2008? I love that photo! I think all bees are good, so your little dog was still on the right track! Mind you, I still wouldn't want to stroke one. A bee, not your dog. I think I need a...

I'm so happy - that's the first time I've ever heard the word "haver" outside of a Proclaimers song! [emoji1][emoji441]
