How Not to Poach an Egg

What is it with footballers?. I can't recall anything like this happening to a cricketer - but no doubt I'm about to be corrected... Fred Trueman and the exploding Yorkshire pudding? Ted Dexter and the champagne cork? Colin Cowdrey and the vole?

  1. Because no true cricketer would sink to poaching an egg in a MICROWAVE, that's why.

  2. I'd never thought of poaching an egg in the microwave before. I wonder is it's possible to hard-boil instead? Time for some DIY science I think.

  3. Sure you can answer your own question Nige if you ponder for a moment - not just this clown, but footballers as an inbred species generally. It's somewhere in the wonderful Yiddish word 'kitsch', which you will need to rearrange, dropping one letter, to make another word

  4. If it's a footballer, let's just be thankful he wasn't trying to use the microwave as a sex toy.

  5. Although funnily enough I just almost teared up watching Villa's Martin Laursen announce his premature retirement due to injury. Commendably dignified and stiff upper lippy.

  6. An England rugby prop - Colin Smart - once drank a bottle of aftershave in over-exuberant post-match celebrations. But then most self-inflicted injuries incurred by rugby players are brought on by a misplaced sense of fun.
