Where has LL disappeared to?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

LOL....that helps my hips a lot!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well, how many calories are there in a de-seeded tomato?

You know what...for christmas I am going to push the boat out and make home made dips for my family...see if they can tell the difference and see if my jeans still fit after!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Making the stuff doesnt fill the jeans - its scoffing it. Given the usual Christmas gross out, how would you tell if the dips had a filling effect?

"Auntie Nellie, here's a tub of homemade humus for Christmas" - is this really how you wish to share your seasonal cheer?

[Keef]

Mrs Keef makes a fine houmous, but I have to admit I'm a sucker for the (full fat) red pepper stuff!

Yes, the way through my families heart is through their stomach...I actually dont eat all the christmas crap at christmas...my indulge is bailey in my coffee...yum yum!

I think crocs are lower in fat than uggs.

[Asset]

Sean - you missed out the tahini, essential ingredient in hoummous.

saw quite a few people wearing crocs in the Balearics this year, somehow they almost work in that environment.

MW74 - sorry, Lordship Lane has gone up north, to Haringey!

[SeanMacGabhann]

good spot Asset - typo on my part. But surely the calories come from the additives and starch in the shop stuff and not from the natural ingredients (and that's even if you take calorie counting seriously.... calories are just one part of body mass... oops strayed onto the patch marked "obvious")

[MadWorld74]

What?! Haringey for f*cks sake I used to live there back in 2002. Moved Sawf thinking it was where it's at.

Crocs? I have some I bought in Australia BEFORE Stella B and the great Croc invasion in ED, AND I still wear them with socks!!!!!!!!!!yippeeeeee I am a bogan.

[Jah Lush]

Err...excuse me Madworld74 but what the hell is a bogan?

[downsouth]

or for that matter Sawf, is it a cross between North and South?

[SeanMacGabhann]

bogan is southern-hemisphere speak for some hybrid of hippy/crusty/chav types (as I understand it anyway)

[SimonM]

>>it's chickpeas, garlic, lemon, olive oil and a bit of what you fancy <<

You forgot the Tahini - essential!. I made a huge batch of the stuff once in a blender and...well...you do end up with rather a lot! M & S do a lovely creamy houmous, but am more of a Tzatziki (spelling?) man myself....

[MadWorld74]

Thanks Sean that is indeed what BOGAN means and that is indeed what I am.

[Keef]

Do you jump up and down and sing summer of 69 at the end of any boozy night? If the answer is no, you are not a bogan!

[Brendan]

Or Living on a Prayer.

[MadWorld74]

Neither I'm affraid, it has to be 'Highway to the Danger Zone' for me at all times..........oh yeah.

[citizenED]

Right, on Saturday, I'm trailing down to "the strip" to check out whether LL has come back. Wish me luck.

[MadWorld74]

Make sure you wear your outdated Crocs WITH socks and trust me, take a deep breath in. The pained faces of the uber-trendies will upset you so much, you will find it hard to walk in a straight line.

[Brendan]

Are the 90's retro yet? I'm just holding out for my clothes to be fashionable again so I can blend in down LL.

[Jah Lush]

I tried doing that with my early 70s gear and blow me down Lionels made a comeback but alas my waistline had expanded by several inches so the charity shops got 'em instead.

[citizenED]

I'll be wearing my "new" t-shirt, ie summer 2005, a pair of shoes left to me by my dad when he died, and a second-hand jacket I bought in Brighton long, long ago. Sad but true - and piously eco-friendly. Will I blend in?

[Jah Lush]

Only if you remember to put some trousers on.
