@dick_turpin I bought one too, a couple of months ago. Haven't used it yet... 🙄

@dick_turpin I bought it more for convenience than for cost saving tbh. I think those intent on saving money tend to use it in conjunction with one of the big multi-cooker thingies (that air fry, steam, slow/pressure cook etc as well) so that they avoid using the oven altogether. I guess it depends on what you're cooking too? I dunno, I just fancied the idea of it really!

@dick_turpin Is it the ninja one you have? That's what I bought, the dual zone air fryer. I don't envisage cooking joints of meat very often, but according to the collective wisdom of facebook groups (haha!) it's meant to be a much faster way of cooking.

@dick_turpin Hmm...well I've seen people do the meat in one compartment and potatoes / veg in the other. So maybe you would need a bigger one to see any significant cost savings.

@dick_turpin Hope it goes well! At least you have a dentist - I had an infection a couple of months ago after a filling fell out. Had to just tough it out, no dentists available anywhere here, it's ridiculous.

@dick_turpin They are definitely in demand. I lost count of how many I called, not a single one would take an NHS patient.

@dick_turpin I didn't watch it when the Queen did it, so won't make any difference to me. I mean by that time on christmas day we really don't need any help in the feeling sleepy department!

@dick_turpin You know, I've never actually seen it. Maybe I should correct that. Wouldn't call myself a fan as such, but I do like a bit of Bowie.

@dick_turpin I do have an Insta account (I use it solely to find and contact tattoo artists) but stopped myself from signing up for Threads. I think I can live without handing over even more data to Zuckerface.Besides which, these corporate controlled platforms are all so.... soulless.

@dick_turpin @steevc Well (and I can say this from experience), even people in the late stages of alzheimers can have moments of clarity. Doesn't really make up for the rest of it though. :)

@dick_turpin @steevc My point was more that even the most disagreeable person on the planet will have a few opinions you may agree with.As for clever, not sure if it's that or more "rich guy with new toy to play with".
