/resists the temptation to try rhyming slang...

I was actually half decent at it in school, but when living at home it's very much a case of "why have a dog and bark yourself". If ever I moved on, it's something I'd pick up again quickly and I think I'd probably enjoy it... in fact I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

I'd get my parents to let me try, but our kitchen is the most disgusting thing you'll ever see. Seriously, the hob was last cleaned about 10 years ago, or at least there was an attempt that involved taking it outside and blasting it with a pressure washer, and even that didn't shift a thick enough layer of grease and crud. I am NOT kidding. I know it's safe enough as the food goes inside the pans which are duly washed.... but eww. I'd only end up hating it. No rush
