Sharing time
Ok lets try that again:

1) Share a genuine cooking tip, i.e. when doing any sauce based food (curries, bolognaise etc) I always add twice as much liquid and cook for longer I find you get a better flavour.
2) Share a genuine DIY/ helpful tip i.e. Forgot which wire goes where in a plug, Brown = BR = Bottom right... Blue = BL = Bottom left
3) share an infectious disease.

Here's a good one that I discovered at the weekend...
2) if you're trying to run some cabling under floorboards from point A to point B, simply raise a board at A, one board at B, and then spool out a measuring tape under the floor from point A until it becomes visible at point B. Then tape your cable to end of the now-visible measuring tape, return to point A, and then retract the tape, pulling the cable along under the floor.

1: Genuine tip for cooking
A: Start going out with someone and having lots of vigorous monkey sex.
B: During a pause in the monkey sex, when smiling at each other over a coffee or something, tell of how your sister makes a really good (whatever your favourite dish is).
C: Await their rebuttal "Oh, but you haven't tried MY (whatever your favourite dish is)."
D: Agree, suggest they cook you some.
E: Enjoy the dish.
F: Compliment them on their cooking, but instruct them that it's not QUITE as good as the one your sister makes.
G: Enjoy another round.

Played correctly, you should be able to get several dishes out of them before they cotton on, and by then it's time to end the relationship anyway.

When cooking meat cook half as long like d.r. and quinch suggests
however leave the meat rest in the pan for the other half of the cooking time.

Also 1kg of chicken according to the supermarket requires 1hr I would cook for half an hour and rest for half an hour.

Beef should be shown the general vicinity of the flame and then be served.

Lamb should be cooked with rosemary and garlic but never mint.
