    FG HQ: Quick, distract, deflect…. I know…let’s wheel out Richard doing something cuddly and quaint.

    Public: ……..am….wtf?

    FG HQ: Damn, we should have ran with Richard’s abs again

    So many questions,

    Why cups and ounces and pints – but not grams?
    Why brown scones when while are clearly superior?
    Why Parisien music?
    Why did you change your shirt for the final scene?
    Why are you trying to look cool with yer Leonard Cohen book and trendy teacup?
    Why did someone in FG think this was a good idea?
    Why did I watch this more than once?

      Dunno about ounces and pints etc. but I do know the idea behind cups and half cups etc. is down to allowing people to bake without measuring equipment. Even though cups will be different sizes, the proportions remain so your cake or scone might be a different size but the proportions remain and in baking its the proportions that really matter. Just keep using the same cup and you will be able to follow any recipe easy enough?

      Careful though Mick, saying white scones are superior might get people thinking….. :)

      Although you could argue that your brain in befuddled if you watch that twice! I wouldn’t even try watch it once, my blood pressure is not a problem for me and I’d like to keep it that way!

        Absolute nonsense. Ireland uses the metric system, and it’s a disgrace that Irish politicians and public figures continue to spout US/UK imperial (and largely vague) measurements.

        The only exception is draught beer in pubs. Remember those. :(

            The world is coming to 149,600,000 km from the sun, drawing in from its aphelion last July of 152,095,295 km.

    Ah lads! Really? Say it ain’t so. Bruton’s effort at deflection. ROFL
    Next up is Enda Kenny sitting in a railway carriage.

    Someone has let the Yoof near the Social Media accounts again… Richard, you are 65, you can just say no.

    “baking is a great way to ease any stress during this testing time”

    why didn’t FG tell us this months ago? all those people worried sick about losing their jobs, losing their homes… just needed to bake some fupping scones

      1. Brother Barnabas

        by the time the 3rd lockdown comes round, you’ll be eyeing them up – trying to decide which one to eat first

          1. Janet, dreams of a steamed clootie

            Guilty…. couldn’t be dealing with a fussy eater, over eater or a junk food eater though…I love cooking

          2. Brother Barnabas

            people who eat fast – who lean over the plate, eyes down and dont speak until the food is gone

            chew with mouths open, overfill the gob, can’t use knife properly, heavy breathing ….death wish

          4. Rosette of Sirius

            Addendum to the knife issue. Using a knife to place food in one’s mouth, or, placing a knife in one’s mouth at all is an abomination.

            Same here Janie

            Miss the big spread, the pre dinner
            The selection of afters
            The cocktails
            The dressing up
            The craic the singsongs
            The messing

            We’ll have to do a Broadsheet’Spread when this is over

    1. ian-oh

      Torn between admiration for a good pun (and I do love a good pun I must say) and horror at the idea I might have to pronounce ‘scone’ as ‘scon’.

      Still, twas a good pun all the same.

      :)

    Why bake ?
    You know Christmas is on its way when the mini Stollen cakes arrive in Aldi .
    I had one last night for dessert with a scoop of honeycomb ice-cream and it was orgasmic.

      1. Charger Salmons

        You want to try telling Lady Charger that.
        I’m sure you’re a feisty one V but she who must be obeyed rules her kitchen with an iron rod.

    Last week it was one of them making masks! Literally hands over their ears singing “La La La La! If I can’t hear bad news it does not exist”

        1. V aka Frilly Keane

          The lads on the PV use person

          So in Tipp
          If a lad gets ID’ed as
          he’s a right person altogether
          You know you’re dealing with an unmerciful hoor

          Isn’t that right Charage (◠‿◕)

    Village magazine update.

    A taster

    “A major absurdity is that Mr Varadkar is claiming he leaked the document to facilitate agreement by the NAGP: “Mr Varadkar hoped to use Dr Ó’Tuathail’s influence to encourage all GPs to accept it”, as the Tánaiste’s Halloween statement has it -when the Village article shows it was received by his mate on the basis it would be used by the NAGP to undermine the IMO’s negotiating stance. Village has copies of messages showing this.”

      clotted cream and fig please. but on a decent scoan ( I spell it how it is meant to be pronounced …I don’t have to watch the video to know he got it wrong )
