Perhaps the internets knows you better than you know yourself. Somewhere back in the dusty recesses of your closet there is a wistful longing for a plumber to scoop you up in his manly arms and ravage you 😂
I'd prefer it if his manly arms would crack on and get the bloody en-suite finished for me.

After that he can ravish me any six ways to Bradford for all I care.

Same with my Kindle. I read a a lot of dry, military history or biographies of long-dead people most people have never heard of. Yet, when I power up the Kindle, it suggests a gushing love story of a heart-broken woman with dusty rugs who falls for a Hoover repairman with rippling biceps. Again, why? The Internet is supposed to be smart.

I fear for the future.
I’m late to the party here but as soon as I read this bit I wondered why & when you read the gushing love story to be able to give such a concise review!!!

I mean, I know you were asking about relaxing doing nothing, but reading that kind of book might be classed as doing nothing but it often leads to something, so I’m told!! :angelic-green: :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

Apart from the fact that it is spring when you buy it, why is 'spring lamb' called 'spring lamb'? This year's lambs are still being born/running about so it's not that that they're selling.

(Apparently what we get sold as SL has probably been kept in and fed on hay all winter so it's not even 'spring grass lamb'. It may have been born one spring, most of them are, but not this one. So, it's another :angry-cussingblack: marketing exercise).

All lamb is mutton (especially that sold in curry houses...)

I was always told it was lamb at 0-1 year old
Hogget at 1-2 year old.
Mutton 2+ years

Sounds right. :thumbup:

(The supplement in the w/e before last Saturday FT was all about meat. They raved about mutton and old beef from dairy cattle - Galician 20 year old cow was mentioned, tasty but tough! It was there that it was pointed out about 'Spring' lamb. Not convinced curry houses use UK mutton - it's now more expensive than lamb 'cos you have to keep them longer - but they don't gain much weight).

A few curry houses near me have been fined for selling beef as lamb. Some now just call it 'meat' on the menu.

You can have a Chicken Naga or a Meat Naga, etc...
