There is an Italian rolled pasta dish called rotollo. It involves laying lots of pasta sheets on a tea towel, filling with ricotta, spinach, etc then rolling up in the tea towel, tying up with string then boiling.

I may or may not have ended up with a slightly blue rotollo one day having decided that a new tea towel would be the wisest option for cooking it in...

Us Yorkshire folk like to get our money's worth from a rear

The bloody thing took ages to fit. Probably twice as long as normal.
Super hard construction especially the sidewall.
It's the super dooper new Michelin with rave reviews.

Once fitted, egen with only 8 psi, couldn't press the tyre at all. Normally the treads move a but. Nada. Worried how it would ride.

Took it out today and instantly hated it. Felt like had 2 flat tyres and wouldn't turn. Could feel the stiffness so dropped it to 6 psi.
Nada.

Even on my fave routes it was horrible so came home early.

As a last resort I stopped at petrol station and upped it to 12 psi which is the recommended pressure. I run low for comfort reasons.

Blimey, what a transformation

Bit bumpy but rides lovely and got masses of grip.

Typical Yorkshireman, even tried to get his psi down!

Shit it was not even that bad up this end. Was down to my t shirt at one point. Still no sun but quit warm at times.

[MrLongbeard]

Was only a passing deluge, I'm still in shorts and just fired the Weber up.

Was thinking you marinade. I just discovered today Tetley tea is not gluten free :O I have been drinking it for years up to about a month ago. Apparently its the glue that seals the tea bag half's.

Not so much, but rubs and binders yes, hell you'll have to have the half that I set aside for the wife as she doesn't like rubs.

There is an Italian rolled pasta dish called rotollo. It involves laying lots of pasta sheets on a tea towel, filling with ricotta, spinach, etc then rolling up in the tea towel, tying up with string then boiling.

I may or may not have ended up with a slightly blue rotollo one day having decided that a new tea towel would be the wisest option for cooking it in...

I can beat that... my girlfriend and I bought a bottle of cheap wine when we were students but couldn't find the corkscrew. I had the idea of smashing off the top on a stone window ledge and then filtering out all the glass with a clean handkerchief. This washed whatever they put in washing powder to whiten clothes in to the wine which gave us extremely sore throats for the next day. It felt like I'd have been better off just drinking the glass power.

Just push the cork into the bottle with the handle of a spoon, no need for the breaking the neck stuff. Done it few times.

I tried that once and won't ever be doing it again...

You can still see the scar running down the side of my hand and along the fold in my hand after more than 30 years. I pushed the cork in and the neck exploded. It cut the muscle in my hand in half, cut an artery or two in half (don't recall which ones) and cut the tendons to my little finger in half. Two 3 hour operations and months of recovery had it back in use. Wine bottles aren't made of safety glass.

Should have used the shoe technique.

Put them on and walk to the shops for a corkscrew?

[KungFooBob]

I thought everyone knew the shoe technique, there are dozens of videos on YouTube about it.
