Three words, linked by a common word

e.g. Brand, Maiden, Nick. Common word would be Name.

Friend sent me one and I cant figure them out

Put the words here

fixXxer

File attached. Anyone who completes it gets a surprise.

I’m as far as flakes, hair, beer mug and I’m stumped. Do I continue?

Good stuff Strawbs. They were beyond me. Only one I got was Clint Eastwood.

Just missing the beer mug one. What were you stuck on fix?

quickbeam

Head and flakes made me think dandruff, but that doesn't fit with beer mug.

All except 1 and 3

Would foam work? As in dandruff shampoo or something

Barney92

Frosted/frostie? Would that work?

Banjo

Flakes, hair and Beer mug is Head, surely?
Unless you take care of your scalp. Which I don't.

Would it be snow?

Snow Beer Mug sounds like an American thing. But I've heard of snow white hair and snowflakes

25th April. It really is the ideal date. Not too hot. Not too cold. I probably only need a light jacket.

Ah close with the snow hair. Pretty sure the answer is frosted:


Very american clues there :pac:

Edit: Just noticed Barney got it first!

Okay, clever cooks and bakers - any EASY treats I can make with eggs and flour and granulated sugar and spreadable butter?

Any recepies I've found tend to look for baking soda (don't have any), or caster sugar (just got the plain stuff I use in my coffee), or self raising flour (I just got plain white stuff).

Nothing that requires machines either. I don't have an electric whisk, or mixer.

I also don't have any milk.

Anything, like scones, or fairy cakes, or sponges I could make as a treat?

Shortbread or other types of biscuit. Most say caster sugar but I’m sure granulated would do.

Rock buns? Castor sugar is just a finer form of granulated - so you could cream the butter and sugar, add eggs and flour and anything else - (dried fruit, grated apple, vanilla - squished banana, lemons - and make a little sponge cake or a tray bake?

The bread I made yesterday:

Equal volumes of greek yoghurt and self raising flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough is formed and then knead until springy. Roll to required thickness and dry fry on a hot pan. Amazing.

(I used a little more flour than suggested because my yoghurt was quite runny so just use enough flour so that the dough doesn't just look like a gloopy mess, depending on the consistency of your yoghurt)

Update: Made these this evening. I forgot the pinch of salt which I do think would make a difference but even without it these were awesome. A total success. 150g of yoghurt and flour made 4 little flatbreads. Perfect for soaking up the curry. Thanks Sully!

Hi folks, looking to see if there would be any interest in a weekly photoshop(any old image editing can do a good job) competition. There used to be one in the cool pics n vids forum that was very popular. I've linked to the archive there.

https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055727020

If there would be interest I have no problem setting it up and choosing the pictures each week/determining the winner etc.

As I said you can use really anything these days to alter images, on phone I use an App called PicsArt which is really easy and fun to use, I personally use decent programmes on desktop, used to use photoshop but now use Affinity Photo, but there is plenty of free ones like GIMP, PicMonkey and Canva.

It would all be for a bit of fun during Lockdown anyways so the more surreal, and like the MSPaint games the worse the better

Anyways let me know what ye all think

I turned your flatbread into a delicious pizza base for dinner yesterday. Very tasty and got over the fact I haven't been able to get strong white flour to make yeast dough, a very acceptable alternative - notwithstanding that most things loaded with cheese taste good

Just an FYI for those who don't follow the off-site werewolf thread but maybe be interested to know, Barney is playing in the Werewolf (mafia) Championships.
These games are an annual event where werewolf sites from all over the world come together to compete. Barney will be representing boards.ie in these games.

If you are interested and want to join me and others as we follow along and support barney on his journey, then you can find more info by following this link.

I made these last night, they were excellent! Thanks Sulli

I had to up the flour too, 50/50 was too runny. Next time I'm confident I'll be able to do it by eye. Brilliant recipe, super easy and really tasty, made my curry even better

How's everyone doing in lockdown?

Getting on alright here. We're due number two in Sept which is great, a little brother for our little girl My poor wife suffers badly from pregnancy sickness though and has had a rough ride, touch wood she seems to be through it now. That's why I've not been playing as much recently, trying to look after her and number one as best I can, not had much free time. I'm back now though, I trust you all missed me

I even have a new sheep idea for next week maybe
