FFS, just waiting for the conspiracy theories or true or not true to happen about aliens putting it there as a beacon for whatever and whoever put it there pissing themselves laughing at the news.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this?

She loves her lentils and can make a lovely homemade soup with lentils, I don't mind them but not too much and just a little. Lol, it's just because our daughter has become a vegetarian she is following her but knowing the wife (and daughter) it won't last as they tried this years ago and was soon back on the meat meals, she even tried to get me and our son becoming vegetarian but she knows she has not a hope in hell of that happening, I love my chicken and fish meals.

The wife loves bolognais but over the last 2 months has become a vegetarian so that means she is on the lookout for veg mince, any tips?

They say as you get older your taste buds change, once upon a time I could not stand cooked carrots or brussel sprouts but now I love them.

You cant have Spaghetti Bolognais without mushrooms, that's what's makes the meal, cut baby mushrooms are the Bees Knees and even with rump steak.

Don't fancy meeting @nudge on Masterchef for a challenge she would claw my eyes out.

Looks nice, never had prawn or salmon for ages, Liz rustled up some chicken with roast tatties and cauliflower with cheese sauce for lunch, I quite enjoyed it and I watched her making the cheese sauce so I think I will give that a bash sometime.

On This Day in Space Archive!

@nudge, get your telescope ready and as @MUFC would say "any pics?" Edit: Shite, just spotted this below... They will be too widely separated to fit within the field of view of a telescope but will be visible to the naked eye or through a pair of binoculars. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Nov. 25: The waxing, gibbous moon will be in conjunction with Mars at 2:46 p.m. EST (1946 GMT). Look for the pair above the eastern horizon after sunset. The Moon in conjunction with Venus and Jupiter, with the Very Large Telescope in the foreground. Image © Y. Beletsky, ESO, 2009. The Moon and Mars will make a close approach, passing within 4°27' of each other. The Moon will be 11 days old. From St Helens, the pair will be visible in the evening sky, becoming accessible around 16:28 (GMT) as the dusk sky fades, 19° above your eastern horizon. They will then reach their highest point in the sky at 20:50, 42° above your southern horizon. They will continue to be observable until around 02:32 when they sink below 8° above your western horizon. The Moon will be at mag -12.4 in Cetus, and Mars will be at mag -1.3 in Pisces. They will be too widely separated to fit within the field of view of a telescope but will be visible to the naked eye or through a pair of binoculars. At around the same time, the pair will also share the same right ascension – called a conjunction. A graph of the angular separation between the Moon and Mars around the time of closest approach is available here. The positions of the pair at the moment of closest approach will be as follows: Object Right Ascension Declination Constellation Magnitude Angular Size The Moon 01h06m20s +01°56' Cetus -12.4 29'27"6 Mars 00h58m50s +05°59' Pisces -1.3 15"4 The coordinates above are given in J2000.0. The pair will be at an angular separation of 131° from the Sun, which is in Scorpius at this time of year.

The latest Lee Child - Jack Reacher novel is out called The Sentinel and as our son has bought me all his past Jack Reacher books I found out he had planned to buy me it as a Xmas present, trying to convince him being a gentle, fun-loving (cough, cough ) Liverpool supporter he can give the book to me as an early Xmas present.

The wee monster has a daddies cheeky grin too.

@nudge, Kaiden has done well at school and has had good reports from his teachers, so, as a treat, Denise bought him a pair of pyjamas for his Yoda.

Wrong thread but the wife has to hide these from me now

Took these photos in 2013, on top of Arthur's Seat here in Edinburgh, that's my other half looking far and yonder on top of the seat, I went there to scatter some ashes for a friend of mine in America who's father died and he always said he wanted his ashes scattered on top of the seat when he died as he was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, so my mate sent me the urn with his ashes and I climbed on top of the seat and scattered the ashes, my mate in America appreciated that and I sent the urn back to America empty with his ashes blowing in the wind on top of Arthurs Seat.

The 'other half' I would gather? she looks frozen like you too.

I was going to put this in the Trump thread and was not sure, you can move it if you want, Donald Duck should not infest Space.
