Re: Official United Rugby Championship (PRO16) thread

I reckon a Leinster v SA side final. But who will it be? I am sure all the SA posters on here will reach agreement in a gentlemanly manner. Should be a cracker as Leinster will bring their A Team against a fired up SA side. I was really dubious about this at first but there are now so many positive...

Re: New oven and Induction hob

The centre of an induction pan can get very hot very quickly. I struggled to find a correct temperature to fry an egg that did not leave the bottom black, and the top of the egg still raw and cold. A couple of years ago I was using one regularly, but after a change of diet I rarely use it now.
