The reports concerning Sophie's dilemma are not necessarily complete. For example, it is not clear whether Sophie acted reasonably to protect herself and her children from the effects of rainwater entry during the storm. From my reading, it does seem that Sophie notified the landlord's agent...

Thanks for that. It certainly sounds more of a pudding. I will check out "The British Corner Shop" as suggested.

Must have been a New Zealander.

Yes, I have tried the product you refer to. It is a pie rather than a pudding and is encased in a short pastry base with flaked pastry topping rather than suety pastry . Quite nice, but not the ideal which can be obtained by home cooking.

It is not a matter of taking sides in the event. The security guard should have been trained in the limits of the job he was employed to do. There is no discretion available to a security guard about how far he/she can take his/her action on the basis of personal preference.

Steak and kidney pudding in a suety pastry, served with boiled brussel sprouts, boiled potatoes, boiled carrots and a hot beef gravy. The art of such culinary delights seems to have faded.

I don't agree. Security guards are employed to minimise risk of accidental harm to customers and mitigate the risk of criminal loss. They are not hired to "support and enforce the law". Security guards should work in concert with police, not attempt to take the place of Police.

The critical words are "suspected thief". The security guard may have been justified in approaching the person, with the purpose of talking to him/her about a suspected theft, but a person not having been notified of the "suspected theft" could be excused for turning and running from the...

To each his own, fool or otherwise.

I would not have minded if the last bloke had not been so formal. I cannot remember ever using, or knowing anyone who used, the word "intercourse", even for a sexual event.

It is regrettable that SDC chose to publish (or re-publish) this article which, on any reasonable reader's interpretation has the demonisation of O'Keefe and ridicules his conduct/appearance for no obvious public purpose. Defamation suits are the current fashion. Perhaps SDC might recognise the...

The combination of smoked butter, anchovy on cracker base is appealing. I certainly would like to try it. The price is inhibitive, but the restaurateur has to make some revenue to cover the costs of development of the dish, the facility of the venue, preparation of the components and service of...

Well picked.

Thanks for the confirmation of my assumption in the "You Tube" video by Dr? Jen Caudle. Ms Caudle is welcome to retain her medical diagnosis of "margarita burn" in her own practice.

"Margarita burn" what lingual nonsense! Will we have "gin and tonic rash" or "manhattan mumps" next. I have never previously heard the term "margarita burn" used in Australia, and can only wonder whether the article has been sourced from some overseas area, where use of such numpty language is...

yes, if you overlook the poor choice of phraseology!

Are you reading this SDC?

Know him well then ROZ? By the way he is Australian, in fact Australia's number 1 citizen.

Yes, I am disappointed and no I do not think that it is appropriate for the Reserve Bank (under coercion of the Federal government) to take the decision to not display the Monarch's image on the lowest denomination Australian banknote as per convention.

The presence of an image of the monarch on the note of first denomination is a convention which should not have been dismissed without some form of community consultation. Although there has been some reference to the RBA board making the decision, it is hard for most of us to believe that the...
