Noble Soaker

I am noble. I have cleaned the oven. I mean, cleaned the oven. I took out the manual. I removed the side-bars. I eased down the grill so that I could reach the oven's ceiling. I even removed the door, although this was accompanied with a few worrying moments as I became convinced that I would break the entire oven.

I sprayed it with oven cleaner overnight. I soaked the walls, ceiling, racks, with lots of soapy water. I dried everything. I left it, and then I did it again. And the back still has some grease on it. Jeez. This is worse than The Van.

It was, therefore, with some surprise that I logged into Noble Poker and noted that I had not been given gold status. My god, I thought, what's a man gotta do?

I as going to post a photo of it here, just to prove it. But I took another picture this morning that I quite liked, so I'm going to post that instead.

There's actually a (potentially) better one, but it needs masking, layering and retouching on Photoshop, and (a) I've forgotten how to do it and (b) I don't have time.
