Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[boldie]

While we're in reminiscing mode, here's a little known fact. When tk was at school, history was called 'Current affairs'

Behave.

But here's a truism - when I as at school, "cooking" was called Domestic Science. Religion was RI, sports were PE.

We went swimming once a week with the school, down at Acton Baths, (which was a chlorine-filled eye-stinging experience)  & walked there & back in a "snake". It was 3 miles each way, ffs.

Later, when I was a little older, I had to attend a "Special School" as it was called in those days, nowadays I guess it would be called "School for those with Learning Difficulties" or somesuch. But the bonus was, we got collected & dropped back home in a coach, & were the envy of all. School Buses & Coaches, of course, were unheard of then. The downside was that it was called "The Spas Bus". Kids cruel? Not 'arf.

A swimming instructor once told me that the stronger the chlorine smell the more pee there is in the water - the chlorine reacts with something in the urine. No idea if it's true but it put me off the local swimming baths for a long time.

 

I just found that extremely funny, all things considered........

Bet she'd be happy to just have pee on the floor now, eh?

Ahhh see, that's cooked values, which becomes difficult and subjective when you're making comparisons

ediy* oopps just found that that's also after cooking. Whyw ould you want to know anyways?..This diet becoming a bit of an obsession for you?

[RED-DOG]

That's per cup, not by weight. and it only tells you about dried green peas cooked with pork.

BTW- I can't believe that a cup full has 783 calories. That's more that lard.

Dry or cooked?

Tom, stop all this nonsense, here's the tikay patented diet.

I GIANT plate of Spag Bol per day, as much as you can eat.

3 x 1lb bags of fresh grapes per day.

The weight falls off, & you get the equivelant of a colonic for free.

Handy Tip - Don't stray too far from a toilet, the grapes can act with explosive force on ones bowels.

[tikay]

Oh, & cut out all that Tea you drink, the milk is very fattening.

Try Oxo Cubes in hot water instead, but no more than 12 a day.

Dry or cooked?

Not specified but this is the info from the packet, so presume dry.  I'll see if I can verify though.

Goodness brand dried yellow split peas 83kcal/100g, so there's nothing in it really.
