With his comments today about “middle class women of a certain age” I suspect he’s buried him

I can't quite believe he was stupid enough to say that. His legal advisors must be in despair.

Have to admit couldn't figure that one out .

Which is why I Googled and was surprised to see this:

I think someone has pain mixed up with pane!

Don't laugh. I read fan fiction and you'd be surprised/dismayed at all the incorrectly used words, even by native English speakers. Even the newscasters here use incorrect English, not sure if it's because they and/or the writers are ESOL or just products of our generally poor education system.

That’s what I said to Mr SSOAP yesterday, his agents must be screaming “SHUT UP GREG”
But then a lot of ‘stars’ surround themselves with sycophants don’t they, that’s how their egos get so bloated in the first place.

Neither can I. I'd have thought the best thing to do, considering his TV Star status, would have been to talk to his lawyers and hide.
I am a little concerned, however, that he's already been tried and condemned by the press. Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

DO NOT PUT MY NEW PLASTIC CONTAINERS IN THE DISHWASHER WITH ANY ORANGE, RED OR DARK COLOURED FOOD

Always good to know your family listens to you

In other news I was tidying the kitchen and noticed I hadn’t come across my new thermometer.
It has taken me months to buy it because I already have a few different thermometers.
However they start alarming if the temp goes over 240c and as the pizza oven goes to 370c I thought I’d take the plunge in the Black Friday sale.

And then after it’s debut it was gone!
Oh no someone must have put it in the dishwasher
But no it’s just disappeared!
It might have got caught up in the foil with all the bones from the enormous French trimmed pork joint?
Oh bums, it’s cold and dark out there.

You know when you go through the outside wheely bin as a last resort and the thing your looking for is never in it?
You get that sinking feeling that you have just treated yourself to a stinky greasy 20 mins debacle?
Well this time it was actually in there!!

Saved !

Next year my colleague will have been with the company for 25 years but does not want a watch, instead she has asked for a nomination bracelet, had to ask to be honest as I have never heard of them but then I don't wear much jewellery anyway. Learn something new every day.

Some times I despair of myself - as usual I’ve arrived in Spain and started craving Asian food

So it’s a summer roll folded differently?! TikTok does like to reinvent the wheel doesn’t it
Mind you that looks faster than the traditional way of wrapping them and I do have quite a lot of those wrappers here so..

No, I've got no idea what it is - I just invented it
