Meanwhile you could enlighten US with your IDEAL spud! I have someone coming round for tea this afternoon so won't be available to discuss this matter until a LATER DATE.I look forward to seeing your comments this evening though. You MAY have a GLITCH on your PC or laptop as this seems to have been VIEWED a lot in a SHORT space of time! Did you find your BIRO?

Pre-heat your oven to 220C. 2. When the oven is up to temperature, wash the potatoes well, and prick each in a couple of places with a fork. Allow to dry slightly, while you tip your salt into a shallow bowl. Roll each potato in the salt to give an even coating, and then place on the middle shelf of the oven, preferably directly on the rack. 3. Cook for around an hour, then give them a squeeze – the potato should just give, and the skin should be distinctly crisp. If not, leave them for 10 minutes, and check again – if you overcook them, the insides will be dry, so it's important to be vigilant. 4. Take out of the oven and put whole on to plates: they shouldn't be opened until you're ready to eat, and then preferably by hitting them sharply so they burst, for maximum fluffiness. Do your thing with butter, and tuck in immediately.

I have a Oxford Dictionary and randomly open it and pick a word I have to use in conversation the same day. Today's word is 'Sequacious' . Good word. I'm liking the word Incalcritrant lately. It seems to have got into my head, not sure where from. "Adjective: incalcitrant Usage: non-standard Stubbornly resistant to authority or control - fractious, refractory, recalcitrant Marked by stubborn resistance to authority "the University suspended the most incalcitrant demonstrators"; Think it's basically the same as Recalcitrant?

Having the appearance of a willing fighter. Synonyms combative - bellicose - quarrelsome - truculent - warlike" Some dumb ass on the telly the other night pronounced ubiquitous as ubiqacious. What a muppet.

We can probably blame Dan Quayle for this. His famous gaff about adding an 'e' to the word was only an error in relation to singular 'potato'. But it wouldn't have been wrong if talking about 'potatoes'. You would however use potato's if you were saying, "This potato's skin looks a little burnt". Which indeed I did after trying the recipe, thanks. I will probably regret this pedantic post, but right now it's cold and slushy outside, and I'm bored. Next time maybe I'll add another sort of 'e' to my potatoes...

What also really irritates me is when i see "CD's" or "DVD's" . It's "CDs and DVDs". I mean, you wouldn't say "record's and cassette's" would you? you'd say records and cassettes. Though obviously you might say "This CD's shit", which would be correct. Oh and "80's and 90's" It's 80s and 90s, surely?
