You make very good points...
OK, not very good...
Actually, not good at all.
In fact, you're talking bollocks.
Points to consider:
0. Olive oil will happily go up to the maximum temperature of any deep-fat fryer (I always start mine off at Max, but I took the time to check this fact).
1. Chips should be started very hot (to effectively melt the gel into a continuous skin), then turned down (when they have cooled the oil a little), so that they remain soft, moist, and sumptuous inside whilst crisping on the outside -- not become dried out, dark, overcooked bits of wood.
2. Even better: put them into the very hot oil until they have cooled it a little, then take them out, shake them well (I throw them into a colander that's lined with several sheets of kitchen paper), and let them go cold (thus allowing the melted gel to resolve better), then put them back in at the lower temperature.
3. When they are light gold in colour (no darker), turn them out again into a kitchen-paper-lined colander, and toss them with salt. This absorbs the moisture that is exiting from them, preventing it from degrading the crisped gel.
Other methods produce inferior chips.
Next week, I'll tell you how to boil an egg and make toast.

That's a bit ... healthy, isn't it?
That does kinda fly in the face of BACONy goodness!

I'll stick my neck out and say I actually grill my bacon (where's the emoji for "duck and cover"?) 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

I grill if I'm making a buttie, and dry-fry if I'm using it for soup (crispy is good, and a slow dry-fry is the best way to get that), or fry to render the fat down if I'm going to cook onions with it.

If it's going in with chopped tomatoes then I dry fry, just because it all ends up in the same pan

On the barbeque, after the sausages have finished, gives a real good smokey flavour. The hotter the barbeque, the crispier the bacon.
Cheers,

yes. 
slow cooked in a pan as is or in the oven (for bigger batches of bacon).
I'd rather be phishing!

Lard is safer for frying than any oil since it is liess likely to form toxic compounds.

Just use fully synthetic oil if you are worried about that.

Movie Quote Of The Day
Quote: Who knows what you have spoken to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? So fair, yet so cold like a morning of pale Spring still clinging to Winter's chill.
Which movie?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Happy birthday Dave. 
He is offshore I believe, or at least I think he was on the 18th, he posted pictures of the offshore festive decorations on FaceBook.
I've mentioned your post here over on FaceBook.

Thanks Griff!
Yes, I am offshore Qatar at the moment, go back to Doha on the 22nd, and spending Christmas and New Year in Qatar again. Don't fancy going back to the UK this year. No parents or other family visiting this year, so we are having crimbo with the next door neighbours on the 25th, and then they are packing up to ship out the country on the 26th, so feel they will be doing that with a hangover
Kids not too happy about not going back to the UK, but with not knowing what is happening in 2017 yet, making the most of things!
Celebrating being 22 again with KitKats, Snickers and full fat Coke, the drink that is! The wind had fortunately died down today, so also managed a full hour on the sunlounger up the helideck at lunchtime, ipod on, temperature was just perfect.
Here is the link to the festive decorations on the platform, do you think they went OTT 
Qatar is Calling: Too much? Hmm...........do wonder![^]
