Yay for sous-vide and smoker!

Asfish, is it a Sous Vide Supreme?

I've just booked the hotel for an upcoming trip to Manchester to see Lamb play in promotion of the second album of their reformation. While that's definitely a yay the day as a whole could go either way as it represents either a rekindling of, or rejection by, an old flame. And right now it could genuinely go either way as she's playing her cards pretty close to her chest and sending some very mixed messages.

I thought he was just talking about you.

Yay!

My big telly is fixed! It had been sat around for a year or something not working.

Turns out there's a second on switch on the back.

So by 'not working' you mean, 'switched off'?

Well... yes.

The repair man and I did have a good laugh.

That's the deputy head of the most business critical department of one of my biggest clients who can't turn a TV on.

The value of my bills will be increasing.

My Dad actually did a similar thing. He didn't realise there was a switch on the back. He had taken the PSU out before he noticed...

I lived without heating in my flat for FOUR YEARS because my storage heater wouldn't work. It just wouldn't heat up.

I checked fuses, breakers, I had sparkies out to check the electrical connections on the wall leading to the heater. No-one could see an issue.

I Googled the model number on a whim one evening and was led to a page that described a thermal cut-out switch, inside the heater itself, that was the size of one of those "DIP" switches you used to find on circuitboards.

All I had to do was press that switch in.

Don't worry, people have done things more stupid than that.
I'm struggling to think of any at the moment, but i'm sure someone will think of something...

...anyone?

Yay!

Got a date for completion on our new house... November 28th. So glad we'll be in by Christmas, I can't wait

Seen by Diabetic Consultant today, my bloods are spot on. Been like this for over a year, I don't have to see him again...

I hope you mean 125F, since rare is something like 57C in the middle. Or 65C or something. Shitload less than 125C though. If you DO mean 125C, you don't need a sous vide. Also instead of spending all our Amazon vouchers on a projector, we're going to get a Brinkmann Gourmet Smoker. I'll be able to turn the ripe jalapenos I dried the other day into chipotles and then make adobo to put them in! Woo! Also the steaks and ribs and game birds and cheese and fuck knows what else we'll try smoking!

Is your new kitchen big enough to get yours back out of storage, Cras?

There is high wife suspicion that this will be used once or twice http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/SousVide ... &DeptID=34

2 mini-yays for me. - Booked a trip to the US in March, culminating in the 150th Bentonville re-enactment in North Carolina. Now to find a company to fall in with (hey, Peter SJ - fancy an 1860s Beexmeet?) . - Going to a wedding tomorrow for an old school friend. Hadn't been expecting an invite as we've drifted away over the years but was pleased to be asked to attend the evening. Got a call last night to say there was now a space for dinner so I'm going to the whole thing. Pleasantly surprised by this.

Been looking for an interim dinning table and chairs as our current one is falling to bits (mostly the chairs) Don't want to buy a new one before we extend the house next year as there is a 99% probability that if I do it won't be right for the extended house later on Found one on Ebay, solid mahogany with 8 chairs. The table extends to 8 feet (from 5'6) if needed for big gatherings. Its has some scuffs and marks, but a French Polisher will be able to sort that out. £250 plus £30 delivery, you struggle to buy a couple of chairs new for that. For that money it will owe us nothing in 12-18 months so could even justify chucking the lot in a skip if I had to.

Put it back on eBay! You may get someone else in the same boat as you.

Table arrived yesterday, just got it through the patio doors, so no need to take to bits. Although I mostly wanted the chairs, and the table is a bit worn around the edges, I'm so pleased with it. Its made the dinning room look like a dinning room, sounds stupid I know but the last table just didn't. Will be getting a French Polisher to see if he can tidy it up, but even here I'm not that bothered as it looks ok as it is.

Tickets get for Kevin Bridges finally! He just kept adding more and more Glasgow dates until I got in there so that was nice of him. Putting something in my calendar more than a year in advance is a level of organisation I'm really not comfortable with though.

I lived without heating in my flat for FOUR YEARS because my storage heater wouldn't work. It just wouldn't heat up. I checked fuses, breakers, I had sparkies out to check the electrical connections on the wall leading to the heater. No-one could see an issue. I Googled the model number on a whim one evening and was led to a page that described a thermal cut-out switch, inside the heater itself, that was the size of one of those "DIP" switches you used to find on circuitboards. All I had to do was press that switch in.

That happened to me with my Pioneer, I was pushing it back into position and holding the sides whilst I did this. There is a switch on the side which is not easy to see and I turned it off. Blind panic and cursing the guy I had bought it off ensured for 5 minutes. Then I called Pioneer who set me straight This was before the money clip
