Be Excellent To Each Other

Or just show her the 'friends-only chat' setting.

No, that was the old, commercial, game on the PC many moons back. This is a fan-made straight port of the boardgame, made with GW's blessing, apparently.

Does it have an AI? Online multiplayer?

AI, no online.

I did find an online, multiplayer port of Battletech the board game, if you're interested in properly old-school stuff. "Megamek" or something.

My work used to have these Mars caramel sachet things to add to the hot chocolate dispensed by the vending machine (one of those jobbies where everything comes in sachets, you just pick what you want and plonk it in the machine). They were a bit sickly, but nice enough in moderation. Apparently they got too expensive though, so they stopped stocking them. However, I discovered not 30 minutes ago that a colleague stashed a load of them when we were told they were stopping, so I grabbed one from his supply, made myself Mars hot chocolate and guzzled the lot. Yum.

Then we discovered that the sachets are more than 9 months past their use-by date. I'm sure they're fine, but my stomach is premptively feeling slightly queasy.

That's karma, Mr Spunky.

Going to watch Lee Mack tomorrow!

Got the tickets as a birthday present. Last May.

Not long to go now.

Right, I have tried the nice approach:



See?

So where the fuck's my answer, shitbags?

Pissed off with the pregnant pause, Zio?

Sorry, I can't help.

Nah, just fancied some Friday vulgarity was all. Too bloody late now anyway, since I'm going home now and won't give a monkeys about Spotify till Monday.

Love you all really, in a 'promise I won't make you pregnant' kind of way!

You can cancel at any time. No set contract, just a tenner a month 'til you don't want it any more.

The iPhone version is good, as long as you can maintain a decent 3G signal. Offline mode is nice, but obviously you have to keep the program running for the music to play. You can lock your phone in your pocket without interrupting it, but it'll cut out if you close Spotify or someone phones you.

Use by or best before?

A large pillar of black smoke emerged from a residential area on the far side of the train depot, got thicker, then started to go a lighter shade of grey and eventually vanished.

I just bought a home brew kit..... 40 pints of ale in 14 days...

You might find this essay by Roger Ebert on 2001: A Space Odyssey interesting, as I did.

Exam tomorrow, probably should get my files in order.....

Presumably we finally now know who this is then:

I got one of them for christmas. I'm willing to bet you get yours made first, it's not high on my list of priorities ...

I was going to ask how exactly one 'crasts'..

With panache and vigour.

I have a pint of chicken stock

What should/can I do with it? (Preferably on the cheap side.)

Pour it into 4 freezer bags, freeze them.

I don't want chicken stock lollys

Risotto. Sorry, rowzowtow.

Defrost them individually for making soups or stews or casseroles and that, silly.

Rather than making 1 or 2 massive pots of stuff now.

I have no idea how much stock is needed for a pot of stuff.

will do it tomorrow

If anyone wants to play Burny P later, I'll be online.

I say this every weekend and nobody wants to play.

Bitty!

That is sick. Truly truly sick

it's just sitting in a jug cooling down at the moment, it'll probably turn to a jelly like substance soon I think.

I'll freeze half and use half of it tomorrow.

Dont you need special rice for risso dimmers?

I only have basmati

I think the rekkid stands at 19 years old.

Excitement when I was on my bike earlier:



I came across a plane taking off, circling and landing from a tiny grass strip between some fields. Could have watched it all day but the man in the van kept on watching me.

A bit excessive, but we are weird in this country - the WHO recommends at least 3 years, with something like 6 being preferable and the norm in many countries.

Ar.

I live a stone's throw away from Bicester Airfield, there's some dude with a Tiger Moth replica or somesuch flies about. Feel free to come up and we can sit in the garde and hope it arrives or hang about on their land. But not in July.

No idea, it was just the date that was on them. I managed to cure the queasy feeling in my belly by going to the pub after work and having a pint of San Miguel, so everything's fine now. Fear not.

I know so little about code it hurts. Not asking for help, just having a little rant.

I have two IDENTICAL pages, but by changing the name off all instances of one parameter stops it working. It's a parameter I set myself, so it's not part of the language that I'm misusing. I just need to go and do something else for a while until I can see what I've done wrong. Mwaaargh!

Don't change its name then. HTH. HAND.

I needed to, as it was going to run a query from a different server.

Turns out the server wasn't running! Problem solved.

In other news, you know where you eat so much food and then cram five Rocky Caramel bars down you as well, and you're not hungry, but you still want to eat, and so you eat some more until you are actually so full that you nearly throw up and have a massive coughing fit?

Yeah, me neither.

Man, now I want Rocky Caramel bars.

I have one left.

Nikachu! I have an errand for you!

How much will I be paid?

Lincolnshire to london is a bit of a mission

Depends how badly Craster wants the Rocky bar. I am willing to pass it on for free, as long as he pays your errand fee.

And transport.

Yep! Had a massive bowl of pasta with chicken fillets, courgette, mushrooms and cheese before. Then went to the pub and instinctively ordered two bowls of chips. WHY!?

what the fuck transport?! You're young, get running.

Have you done homebrew before? I have a pretty decent hang over from my latest batch at the moment.

Not done any myself but I'm interested. I don't think I have enough room to get started though. Last night I enjoyed some really nice White wine, made by Mrs Zs step Dad.

Morning all ! hope you have a great weekend
