Why do some people come to watch movies?. The other day I went to see a movie. A slumdog millionaire. As soon as the movie started, a couple seated in front started their own discussions. Somebody from the back asked them to just...

batchelorboy I hate it when people talk through movies. I hate it even more when there's a group of silly youngsters who just laugh and throw popcorn ALL the way through! It's just a complete lack of respect and common sense and it's becoming more common. Mobile phones are...

I have headache now, and have had it now going on my second day. My BF states the best thing for a bad headache is BC Powder. I have never tried it, and I don't want to waste money. Have you tried BC Powder, and does it work?

aspirin

bc powder

pain

batchelorboy I've never tried BC Powder but a lot of people are too quick to advise of painkillers or natural remedies to take away a headache. Of course, taking the pain away is a relief but it may not dig out the root of the problem and you may end up suffering quite...

batchelorboy They'd possibly last a couple of months if you stored them in the refrigerator. Anything in brine should last a lot longer if refrigerated.

batchelorboy I've had headaches that last for a few days, usually when I've been on a long cycle ride (50+ miles). From research on the internet, dehydration seems to be the cause for my headaches - I just drink more liquid than the 'recommended' daily intake and my...

batchelorboy Hi dloveli I know exactly how you feel. Although I have a job at the moment, I hate it but refuse to leave it because I've been made homeless before because I didn't have a job. I'm still paying huge bills from years ago when I was careless and borrowed money...

Do any of you use wild garlic? If you do what is the best way to prepare it for cooking?

2 responses •

1 person

batchelorboy It's the green leaves of the wild garlic that are most commonly used in cooking. They should be washed before use, as with all wild/fresh vegetables, and you can chop and add to recipes like you would regular garlic.

What do you do when you want to sleep but can't,i play beehive bedlam on sky games or watch stupid tv programs like the pyscic interactive

8 responses

batchelorboy Watching rubbish TV and playing games won't help you sleep because they'll all stimulate your brain, no matter how boring they are. Have you tried drinking a malt drink made with hot milk and lying in complete silence?

I am in the market for a new set of pots and pans that will last me for a while. I know they won't be cheap, but needed a bit of insight as to the best brand and if i should pick stainless steel or nonstick. Any one have...

brand

cockware

1 response

batchelorboy This a tricky situation because different brands make their pans to different quality. Expensive doesn't always mean they'll be good. It depends what you'll be cooking, i.e. slow cooked casserole/stew or just for boiling vegetables. My current pan set cost...

I am trying a new recipe tomorrow, and it calls for corn starch. I do not have any corn starch, but would like to make the recipe tomorrow. What can I use in place of corn starch.

batchelorboy It depends what you need the corn starch for. You could probably use plain flour instead mixed well with enough water to make a smooth paste before adding to the recipe although the final result wouldn't be as good as if you'd used corn starch.

batchelorboy Hi doormouse I'm the same, I've watched so many horror movies I just don't scare easily anymore. Now, horror movies that scare my girlfriend or mates, really doesn't affect me because I can predict when a jumpy part's coming up. All I can do now is rate a...

Do you believe in reincarnetion or life after death? Have you any experience that seem very strange and unnatural?

life after death

1 response

batchelorboy I neither believe or dis-believe in reincarnation. I'd like to think life doesn't just end but continues in another form or other. I'd like to come back as an animal, maybe a lion or a leopard. I've never had any experiences that have been strange or...

Would you rather have a baked potato or french fries? Well for me I'll choose baked potato. At least not fast hungry. But what say you?

batchelorboy To eat by itself I'd have fries. But if it was part of a meal it would depend on what it was to go with. I wouldn't have baked potato with a cheese burger, and similarly I wouldn't have fries with chilli. I love both...

batchelorboy You should definitely tell the truth. If you lie and end up having to perform a task later on and you have no idea what to do you'll look like a plum. It's best to be honest but make sure you show that you're keen to be trained further to gain any skills that...

batchelorboy Fifteen minites early is good. Five minutes is technically just on time, and ten minutes is a 'little early'. Fifteen minutes is about right to show you're a person who's prepared and eager.

batchelorboy I don't agree with the comment about not pulling your hand out on a senior, ever. If you initiate the hand-shake it's a sign of confidence. Some employers really don't like employees who are 'scared' of management figures. Usually, the hand shake will just...

batchelorboy What you wear depends on whether you're male or female and what job you're applying for. Either way you should make it as smart as possible, based on what you'd normally wear to do the job. For example, if you're applying for a job in an office where the dress...
