A bad roast is horrible, but a properly done roast is on of the best things in the world. You can keep all your fancy French cookery if I can get a perfectly done roast potato.

Easy to do badly, a chore to do well. About sums it up for me.

As for French potatoes, you can't beat dauphinoise with a nice rib of beef..

Just had a text from relative in Ulverston, says Barrow have announced they will kick-off at 12:30 on Sat.

Dauphinoise are much more fiddly than a roast!

To be honest I quite like cooking a roast- it can be quite nice in the kitchen on a Sunday, 5live on for the football or whatever music I choose while I cook. I'm also OK to cut a couple of corners to make it less of a chore too- shop bought gravy and frozen Yorkshire are fine with me.

The @ECB_cricket confirm that next Saturday all nine County Championship matches will pause between 14:50 & 16:10 to coincide with the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh. The ECB are also asking all recreational cricket clubs to pause play between 1500 and 1600. Although not football related, good that the arrangements have been called early.

I'm definitely on the frozen yorkie train. Always wondered about bought in gravy..

Fennel in a cream sauce, lovely touch with some pork

It tastes much better if someone has cooked it for you.🍴🍽

Disagree. Always tastes good when you cook it yourself, and I find I’m much more inclined to eat my own cooking even if it has gone pretty badly wrong too.

Kinda like smelling your own farts versus smelling someone else’s.

Homemade Yorkshire’s are an absolute staple for me. None of that piddly aunt bessies nonsense.

You are making 2 ridiculous assumptions there -

My roast is the same as your roast.

I hate my roast.

I've read some rubbish over the last 48 hours but you just won the Aunt Bessie medal.

A fry-up is always better cooked by someone else. I'm not a bad cook but I can never get it as good as a greasy spoon.

That doesn’t make any sense. The two don’t correlate at all. With comedic talent like that you’d get a series on BBC 3.

I assume they will do away with the 40 minute lunch, and have a 20 minute break at 1:00pm?

I  would guess scheduled hours of play will be something like:

11:00 - 13:00

13:20 - 14:50

16:10 - 18:40

Yes whereas your reference to Stalins funeral was of course based on flawless logic and correlation. 

I'm sure you'll get a column on Brietbart where you can rage about my bbc3 show.

Can't beat a good batch of homemade Yorkshire Puddings. 

[Ken Hairy 3,772]

Just because I know you're all concerned, the roast was spot on, the potatoes perfection (I agree that dauphinoise are much more fiddly than a roastie).

I don’t know what Brietbart is and I, along with everyone else, don’t watch BBC comedy.

But are they better? That's the crux

[lake district canary 4,531]

I must say one or two on here are really showing their true colours and it is not nice to see.   Plainly thinking they are filling their boots but all they are showing is their twisted views and lack of understanding of past times, how a generation that grew up in the 1920s/30s had a very different perspective on things - and in that you can include those that were poor as well as those that were rich. 

That people seem so vindictive is a reflection of them, not the Duke, who lived his life according to what he knew from his upbringing and which included giving up his career and being a dutiful support for the head of state for the rest of his life. You can point at all sorts of things that he did that were wrong, but if you do that, you should also recognise the good things he did too. 

One thing for sure is that one sided incipid and derisory comments about him do nothing but show you up. 

For what it's worth I agree all the arrangements seem a bit ott, but then, these general steps that have been put in place have presumably been sorted out months, if not years in advance and we should just accept it and move on. He was an important person in the history of the UK and the monarchy and that ought to be recognised.
