I've just killed a pot :| I was reheating noodles from tea last night for lunch today and busy typing on the forums - and it's as black as black as black, well about half the pot is, the other half seems fine. I had it on low too, so dang, I hope it ain't too hard to clean and it all that black stuff comes off the pan - I don't want to have to throw it out. I have it soaking in a bubbly mixture.

I wish I had a microwave, things like this wouldn't happen.
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Dong, you should’ve seen the oven pizza I made a couple weeks ago. I fell asleep and woke up five hours later to a burning smell so horrid masking the whole downstairs. That pizza was blacker than black and could be used as a frisbee without breaking or bending. Lmao

Luckily it was one of them “place directly on rack” pizzas so no kitchenware was harmed in the burning of my five hour pizza.

I am sure that would have stunk for days.
I have destroyed pots by boiling them dry - just couldn't clean them.

A while back when my late son was around 7 years old (20 plus years ago), he had a chiropractor appointment in a different suburb. So I put the corned beef in a pot with different ingredients turned it up high to get it bubbling before I left and then I would turn it down before I left, well, I forgot to turn it down. We both walked to the shops after school, did a bit of shopping, then we walked over to the appointment, appointments was around half an hour, not including waiting time. As we left I remembered about the corned beef on the stove. My mind just raced, I took my son to the bus stop and told him to wait for the bus and told him I have to run home explaining what I had done (I couldn't expect him to run with me). When I turned the corner into my street, I could hear the alarms going off, when I opened the door smoke just billowed out and it stunk to high heaven. There had been a fire inside the pot with the corned beef - must have been either the brown sugar or golden syrup, whichever I put in that caught alight?? My house and everything in it stunk for weeks and I mean weeks. I was so bloody lucky my house didn't burn down.

Buy one? Over here a basic model can be picked up in a supermarket for about £40.
I daresay they're just as cheap where you are; it's not new technology after all.

Strangely, when I lived in France, all white goods were very expensive. Not that they were any better than those obtainable anywhere else, maybe the French had a supercrazy purchase tax on them or something.

It was great when I sold up and left; we'd brought all our white goods over from Britain and sold them off in a yard sale (too much aggro to bring them back again) - and even though they were secondhand the French were paying us more than we'd originally bought them for, lol.

Actually, they bought things that were destined for the dump -- all the half-used tins of British paint and varnish (their stuff is grim compared to ours), cutlery and glasses which we had far too many of, bed linen, clothes I had piled up to take to a charity shop, all manner of odds and ends.

Do you have an IRD, or TFN?
Unfortunately, even if you were born in the UK, it's difficult to get your NI number, if you weren't present when they are usually issued.


Things that will work as proof of identity, for this, are limited.. for a list, it would be best to check for your Birth Certificate (or valid coppy), any card you may have for IRD/TFN - not sure if they still have those in physical form, these days, or your passport (though you're getting a passport, and that should work, as you seem to have found out, already - your current one may work, but could cause delays).
Take as many as you can, as having more than one strengthens your identity.


Given you didn't get your passport stamped, it's going to be really hard for you to provide proof of valid entrance into the country.. The official at Heathrow really should have known that, and issued you with a page (unless you got a stamp, but not an indefinite stay, one).

You'll need records of employment, as well, so make sure you have those to hand (records of payment will usually work for this, at a pinch).

Documentation of past travel may be difficult to obtain, if you've had more than one passport, in the past, as well. I have a TFN, but they won't accept it.. :(

I managed to secure an NI interview/appointment in London on the 10th of Jan.... a lot later than I would've liked, but it's better than anything. I'm surprised you even need to have an interview for this... in Australia you call up and they give you one instantly.

I signed up to a GP last week as the bank said they'd accept a letter from them confirming my address. I picked up that letter today, immediately went to both banks, and both said "Sorry this isn't accepted"???????? I feel like I'm getting a different answer for every different person I talk to...
