    I don't understand why people are not using their George Foreman grill. I think they are brilliant.

    You're so right. Dipping a slice of Brennan's into the fat reservoir .......... heaven!

    Get the George Foreman out again, head down to Lidl and pick up a few packs of their streaky rashers (smoked are the best)
    Ole George removes all the yucky greasy fatty guilt while simultaneously leaving behind heavenly,delicious, crispy, rasher goodness.
    Sunday mornings will never be the same.

    In answer to the op, I have a Halogen oven that has cooked a single chicken fillet in it's entire working life (2 years).

    Everything is healthy if cooked in a George foreman

    Same. I thought Fallout 4 would get me interested again. Played for five hours on launch day and haven't switched it on since

    Can you still buy teasmaids? My girlfriend honestly thinks they're a figment of my imagination.

    Almost every videogame I bought last year.

    Electric guitar. Teenage me had great designs on becoming a rock star but failed to account for my lack of my musical ability coupled with frustration at not being a virtuoso immediately. It now sits in a corner covered in dust and missing a few strings.

    Right now I want this drawing tablet that you plug into the laptop and what you draw comes up on the laptop but I know it's going to be a "gathering dust" purchase not long after I get it

    I have one of those George Foreman grills mentioned: I don't use it as much as I once did, but I found it's great for Paninis too. I pre-slice the rolls and freeze them: no need to defrost, just fill and flatten. :cool:

    I need a new one of those. Bought one when I lived alone. 5 years later it's still going but I'd like a bigger one.

    I had looked at one of those....are they rubbish?

    Pretty much, yeah. It doesn't do anything special that all the kitchen stuff you'd own already doesn't do - it just does it slower.

    There's a temperature control thing on it that keeps switching off when it reaches a certain heat, so it's crap at deep frying. Or maybe I got a duff one, I don't know.

    The ad makes it out to be this spectacular invention, but I wouldn't waste my money if I were you.

    George Forman grill. 3tier steamer and a ''must have'' Foot Spa. Now either under the sink, top of press, or in the shed. I bought a Bullworker once too

    You should have got the four tier steamer. But seriously, steamers are great. Not the flimsy, plastic electric jobs, proper ones that go on the cooker. You can put your spuds in the first tier, and a selection of veg in the other one or two. Saves on electricity/gas and saucepans.

    Slow cookers are good also. I mostly use mine to make batches of porridge, hardly any work involved. Keeps in the fridge for a few days and a portion in the microwave and you have instant breakfast.

    A Bish Curver. Didn't know how I was supposed to use it. Was cheap though.

    One of those dyson cyclone multifloor vacuum cleaners with all the gizmos and attachments even the pointy nozzle and small brush that nobody knows what it's for.

    Been gathering dust ever since I got it.

    They've got some large ones on sale in Lidl right now, as it happens.

    Empty a bottle of blue nun into that and you can drink champagne like a millionaire.

    I bought a ukulele because I saw it in the window and decided I wanted it. Even though I've neglected it, it's still my baby and I love it :)

    I think they are called Thai Brides now...

    Oh, and my unicycle. Not that spontaneous, in that i asked for it for Christmas 2 years in a row. Wife assumed i was looking the first year, but realised from my disappointed 'where's the unicycle shaped present' face on Christmas morning how wrong she was.
    You don't joke about unicycles.
    I've tried to she it maybe 3 times in the 3 years since I got it. Gotta figure it out this year!!

    Fishing rods , probably contributed to the end of my marriage.

    Her "do you really need four fishing rods ? "

    My inner voice " thank fcuk , she doesn't know about the part ownership in the boat and the other three rods."
