Re: And today, joining the underground .....
Sad news.
Old school defender and not the worst manager in the world.
Spent a hell of a lot on minutes on the football field which seemingly didn't do him any good in the end.

Yep. Ex professiobal footballers do not seem to have a particularly long lifespan. Even worse I fear for the current professional rugby players.

Quite - if they don't pop their clogs early from neurodegenerative injury, they will mostly be suffering from osteoarthritis from their forties.big mervyn wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 11:18 pmYep.

Hope they maintain their health insurance to help them with hip and knee replacements.

Lovely bloke.
Very sad to hear this and I won’t be trying to think of any puns.

The one great scorer has come to mark against Tony Green's name- treble 15 double top.

Personally I couldn't stand Dave Myers, but a sad day for his nearest and dearest and (fwiw) they have my sympathies.solidarity wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:23 pmWas always great to see two pretty ordinary blokes preparing food that you and I could actually aspire to producing.
I didn't like the way he often tried to explain the "Chemistry" or "Science" that was happening as food ingredients were brought together, and/or when they were cooking. Biggest load of twaddle ever. He wouldn't recognise chemistry if he fell over a child's chemistry set with the word CHEMISTRY written on it in massive letters.

He still talked twaddle.
He can know it all about physical and organic chemistry or whatever, but I doubt very much he ever carried out proper research on what happens to a individual bits of food when cooked or brought together under certain conditions.

More of a Heston Blumenthal man are you Grumps? He is an honorary FRSC in recognition of his more rigorous application of the principles of chemistry to his culinary art.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 8:26 pmHe still talked twaddle.

Have to say, I once made pea'n'ham soup following his recipe with scientific precision and it was stinkin'. Had to bin it. I even remember the date because it was the day of George Best's funeral.

Re: And today, joining the underground .....
Anyone read / watched Lessons in Chemistry? Great connection between chemistry and cooking. One of the few instances of the book and the film / tv series being different but both pretty good.big mervyn wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 9:32 pmMore of a Heston Blumenthal man are you Grumps?

You may be right - when he won Celebrity Mastermind his specialist subject was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood not the Maillard reaction.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 8:26 pmHe still talked twaddle.
