I thought for a moment this was a take-the-p-out-a-wilmslow-thread post. But I couldn't find anything similar.

I have coffee for breakfast.

well spotted , NAT, I have been aiming for the 'daftest thread title' award for some time now, but without hoping for the 'daftest thread content' accolade

I dont normally do breakfast, but part of my drinking reduction regime is to eat more. I dont want to get up any earlier so I have been bringing a couple of boiled eggs into the office and I scoff them with my coffee before anyone else gets in.

Does anyone else bring boiled eggs into the office ?

To achieve a balanced, healthy breakfast simply bring 1 egg and 1 kipper to work. The kipper can be heated on a nearby radiator in the winter months and will supply all the needed vitamins.
Also a microwaved curry eaten at the desk for lunch could save several pence per day.

Pah, you'd never measure upto Paul Newman with that attitude.

At least I'm still alive. Those 50 hard boiled eggs got him in the end. He'd have been ok if he'd stopped on 49.

If I want a quick breakfast, I just have a couple of raw eggs. Saves a lot of cooking (3 minutes) and is very quack.

I see what you did there.....

Lay it on its side on the desk/table. Spin it. Hard-boiled egg spins like crazy, raw egg spin is rapidly damped to a stop.

Spin me round baby, right round like a record baby. Right round, round, round.

Too many eggs can be bad for your cholesterol. I think 2 a day is okay but I wouldn't have any more per day.

brilliant. can't wait to check it out.

Is it the spin it around check?

Lay the egg on it's side, spin it around and then stop it spinning by placing your finger on top of it, take your finger off the top and if it carries on spinning it's not hard boiled,

[expat]

no, how can you tell ?

Yes.
If you break it open and its all floppy and runny, then its not boiled.
If its a big white lump - then it is boiled.
