Well l guess that since they are deep fried they would be quite warm , and l'm hoping these would have attitude because l snuck in a load of chilli .Reheating once and making sure it's ultra piping hot it should be fine. But I certainly wouldn't reheat it more than once.
Nowt wrong with eating it cold, though.
P.S. I don't like arancini - whenever I've had them, I've found them underwhelming.

A light aircraft of some kind was transported from Mull to somewhere in Northern England by lorry with the wings detached and lashed alongside. The owner /driver of the lorry said he got a lot of stick on his CB radio as he was travelling south with much reference to Lady Penelope. [Not well up on these things now and it may have been Thunderbirds]

I have a question about paint, that I would like some answers from the esteemed panel please.
The Bathroom was last decorated in 2007. The paint used was Extreme Clean Scrubbable Bathroom paint for walls and High Gloss for woodwork), both from Crown's Trade paint range. The painter/decorator closed the tins without denting the lid. Is the paint going to be usable after thirteen years? There is about half a large (plastic) container of the paint for the walls, and half a large tin of gloss. You will no doubt suggest that I open the tin to have a look, but if I do that, and then not close it again properly, I could inadvertently make it could be.
The stock of paint in the garage needs to be edited. There is a wooden step ladder that I plan to make into an outside Plant stand, I will use up all the usable exterior paint on that.
There is also a tin labelled "The Wrong Green"*, has anyone got a use for that? Over the years I have tried to use the same colour paint in at least two rooms. However, after 24 years in the same house there is a good collection of paint.
* Someone mixed up the wrong colour. I did not take it back, as it is a lovely green, just not anything like the shade I was expecting. For the second attempt, I went somewhere else to get The Right Green.

Not sure of his style choices (although Y-fronts are probably likely candidates) or his size ... or indeed whether 'new' would be acceptable.

Well there really is only one way to find out if 17 year old paint is any good. Try painting with it.I have a question about paint, that I would like some answers from the esteemed panel please.

As for The Wrong Green - tastes change - you will probably be fine with it now. Aren't cataracts wonderful?

When I had my last eye test, 18 months ago, there were no signs of cataracts, which I thought aint bad for 67.

I'm having tea to celebrate having running water again. And I'm listening to the cricket. Young England lad has got his maiden century and is still there around 160.

Time to put the painting away for the day.
Then it's time to go feed the cats, and then, after, time to feed me.
