"Prawns Feel Pain"

Am I the only person in the whole world who saw this and said "Well... DER!!!!!!!!!"

Lets look at the basic facts that even and average punter on streets can accept:

It's an animal
It has a brain
It has a nervous system (even if it is 'simple' it's still there)

YEAH IT FEELS PAIN!

I'm pretty certain that 'pain' is one of the basics for life... or at least having the ability to sustain it. I.E. "I'm not doing that dangerous thing (again), it hurts. Next time I might die / damage myself permanently and not be able to eat / reproduce / defend myself in the future" or "I'm scared to do that, it might hurt (see reasons above)" or "I'm getting away from this thing that hurts / might hurt in case (see reasons above)"

Was it really necessary to torture the poor buggers to find this out? "Oh look, if we burn it here it rubs it self. Maybe it feels pain?"

*Insert swear word of choice*

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
