Title: Anyone else blown up a shark?
Post by: Roger Kettle on March 03, 2008, 08:56:33 PM: I once bought a shark steak and, for some reason, decided to cook it in the microwave. It blew up. The whole incident was reminiscent of the final scene in Jaws and was strangely satisfying. It doesn't have to be a shark, of course. I'd be quite happy to hear tales of other fish explosions.

Amazing story, Roger. Utterly unbelievable! I can't get my head round it. You did the cooking? Where was the lady of the house?

I am glad we finally got the city and got a new one - life was getting complicated.

Diane, don't worry, I understood every word. These blokes aren't very technical, are they? :D :D :D

A discussion about your microwave oven could be an interesting subject for the Household Hints Forum, Diane.

No it wouldn't. That forum seems to have been taken over by the lads!
