You know where it says "no need to pre-cook" on the packet? That's a lie. Or at least a misdemeanour.
Pre-cook the sheets everytime (in a big pan of water with a thin layer of olive oil on top to stop them sticking together, and only one layer at a time). That way, the pasta expands in all directions, is easier to fit to the tray, is floppy so easier to cut, and absorbs flavour. the result is astonishingly better - though it takes about an extra half-hour to do it.
Even the supermarket ragus are massively improved by (a) precooking the lasagne and (b) making your own cheese sauce. Doing your own ragu makes it truly awesome, but takes about 6 hours - so I don't do it all that often.

I'm shocked myself too sometimes. It seems like a lot of fun.
No YMCA at all! That intro is the perfect call to the dance floor for anyone afraid to get on it. DJ has failed me.

Appears to be more fun (or perhaps more necessary) the further north you go. The Scots and the Finns have it licked.

Bought an external HDD and dropped it taking it out of the box. Still works but I feel like a right tit.

I've heard similar tales. The north seems like a daunting place.
Pour one out for me.

I do not believe I have had the pleasure of enjoying your exquisite British cuisine.
Are those next to the meat or the vegetable isles?

Trouble is, it doesn't come across that way to our Irish cousins (or, for all I know, to our Manx & Channel Island cousins either, EDIT: not mention Shetland & Orkney mostly because I had forgotten them). We seem to have lost the Irish since the title change, though doubtless we'll meet up again come the next Six Nations thread (Feb 2nd).
I know that Brit is a four letter word in a lot of places, but the British Isles includes all that lot too. They could have just asked.

The British Isles does, but Britain doesn't. Gotta be sensitive to these things (got relatives in the Middle East where it is all even more murky and sensitive).

By trying to be inclusive (BritGAF = British Isles GAF), we instead make it seem like BritGAF = BritainGAF. Would have been more inclusive going with UKGAF. I worry for the next OT starter.

It's the same thing as the Welsh being referred to as English, or the Scots (some years ago) being referred to as the "North British". Or the law of England and Wales being referred to as the law of England, or the representative cricket team of England and Wales being referred to as England.
Like the middle bit of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (according to Robert Musil) comprised the Austro-Hungarians (all Austrian) and, well, the Hungarians.
It's an age-old problem of identity that we won't fix here. But I guess if you see no problems you're English, or at least not Irish?

Same. The stopping point for me is usually looking into getting an arcade monitor and then reading warnings that they carry enough of a voltage to kill you.

I've heard enough stories about this on the Bombcast to ward me off ever even thinking about getting one. :lol

A damn toaster carries enough voltage to kill you. But you still like toast, yeah?
A toaster doesn't typically have its electronics exposed to the point you have to have the thing switched off for two days before handling it. Arcade monitors have zero shielding.

I stuck a knife in a toaster once to see what would happen. Knocked the power off, didn't get superpowers.
