I'll start....

Cheese on toast, with Worcester sauce, is the most enjoyable food in the world.

It just unarguably is. All the nice meals in fancy restaurants, and cuisines from all over the world, are basically just a distraction from your ultimate acceptance of this fact.

Yours....?

When my wife starts a sentence

'I know what you're going to say...'

that we'll be going somewhere/buying something I don't want to in the near future.

Agreed, but just 'cheese' won't do for this. You need a nice mature cheddar so the Worcester sauce is incorporated into the melted cheese. I ran out of cheddar a few days ago and tried with emmental. Big mistake as the stuff is damn well near sauce proof and the Worcester sauce runs off instead of melting in. Rubbish.

There are a lot of very selfish people out there. Don't waste time challenging them, just get on with not being one of them and you will enjoy life far more.

There is no such thing as a "5 minute job".

I agree with you Lord Binners, has to be Cheddar on thick cut white though as it just has the right fat/stodge ratio.

Not only that it goes well with pretty much any drink Tea, Coffee, Wine, Beer, Cider or even water!!

Yak - you are absolutely correct. Thats what I've just had. On thick white bread. I once deviated through necessity into Edam. It was similarly very disappointing

ads678 - we're a broad church my friend. if thats what floats your boat. It still stands that cheese on toast of one sort or another is the pinnacle of human culinary achievements

A man's place is in the wrong.

You don't need to smoke it all at once.

Remember, whatever the cost, you have to burn all the bridges you've crossed, because the devil you've yet to behold is better by far than the devil you know.

1) Double it & add 20 for time or cost estimations

2) Sod & his law are real

3) My chance of winning the lottery (my long term financial plan) really is very small indeed

4) Time speeds up as the years go by

5) A cup of tea really does help

6) I really won't ever get to fly on a Concorde (or as Tinie Tempah once said: "I'm pissed I never got to fly on a Concorde")

There is a tonne of stuff in the world I would like to be able to do, but I can't, because it is simply not possible to be a scuba diver/sailor/writer/linguist/ice hockey player/TdF cyclist/father/world traveller/etc./etc. all at the same time!

I was working in the garden with my FIL last week and had some old crusty bread that I decided to repurpose as Welsh Rarebit – we were both in agreement with your assessment 🙂

Anyone who suggests putting the Devil's smegma on anything is wrong! But that's not an age thing, just common decency.

I've realised over time that despite trying, I'll never sample all of the craft beers in the Oddbins opposite my house.

Nonsense.

It's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

I am SO hungry now, and yes Binners (that was autocorrected to boners which is also ok)

Time spent with friends is rarely wasted. Time spent on a screen nearly always is

Couple of points on Worcester sauce.

It is actually Worcestershire sauce.
Second point is Hendersons relish.
