Still not smoked. Urge to kill is rising.
"1. Over a low heat melt the butter and the Margarine in a deep saucepan
2. add the sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup and stir well
3. Mix in the oats. You may find it easier add them in gradually stirring and covering the oats with the paste
4. add a pinch of salt and continue to stir
5. Mash up the banana and stir in. This may take a bit of time to make sure the banana completely covers the mixture
6. spread the mixture evenly over a non stick baking tray. Smooth over with a knife making sure the mixture is even
7. Place the baking tray onto the middle shelf in a preheated oven (gas mark 5, 220 C) and bake for 15 minutes, checking the progress regularly. Take out when the mixture starts turning a golden brown.
8. Stand for a minute or two, then score the mixture with a knife into you portions
9. Cover the tray with something light such as a few pieces of kitchen roll and leave for a couple of hours

Preparation Time: 15 Mins
Cooking Time: 15 Mins

Well, as demonstrated by page 100 of B&B7, I thought it was last on 99. But Chinners conceded.

That looks good, I had to get rid of my silver sharks this weekend, we have a fairly large tank but not big enough for them. Every time we went near the tank the biggest one would panic and try and jump out of the water smashing its head on the lid. Going to stick to small fish from now on.

What are you going to keep in there?

Have you got any kind of wall between the two types of gravel? Only reason I ask is that I set up my tank like that but over time the hoplos managed to pretty much mix it all up.

I don't own the property.

And besides they'll just continue. If they can see what I do they can at least fuck off again afterwards rather than continue to pester.

Letters are easy to ignore recycle, though.

If you have a rental contract and lockable door, you're liable for a separate license and can continue telling them to "get bent, you big bending benders".

Not _yet_. I'm going to see how it goes, and if it starts to mix I'll be putting in an acrylic strip between the two. It's sand and plant substrate, rather than gravel, so I'm hoping it's a bit less prone to settling than gravel.

Also, being an Empire subscriber, surely you've read the review of "Let The Right One In" [1] I might even go and see that before Hollywood fuck it up.

No contract. Tis complicated.

If I'm here they can come in and I can tell them to get bent. There's nothing to see other than a portable TV, two DVD recorders and a VHS player. No aerial and no way to receive live TV signals. It's patently obvious what I do given the couple of hundred DVCAM tapes on shelves etc.

I factory reset the DVD recorder as although I have never watched TV on it, it had an EPG due to it being a factory refurb. Easier to say, look none of these units are even tuned.

It did take them years to mix it thoroughly but I think if you are wanting the middle area to stay looking really white like it is now then you'll probably need something between them.

I had the first PGA game on my 386 back in the day, that was pretty good.

Weren't they the precursor to the TW games?

Post subject:  Re: 8its and 8o8s VIII

Quite possibly, it was EA anyway. There's nothing in common though, the swing action which is really the main bit of a golf game is completely different. I always liked PGA II for making it really hard to hit great shots whilst feeling fair and not at all random.

Author:  myp [ Mon Mar 23, 2009 13:23 ]
Post subject:  Re: 8its and 8o8s VIII

The swing action only came into TW games in 2003, I believe. I just felt that the analogue sticks weren't precise enough to hit consistently good shots in 08. I really enjoyed 2004, though, so I don't know what they've done to it.

I've always preferred Nikon, I think they're more ergonomic and have better picture quality (especially at high ISO)

Nikon film SLR lenses will fit digital SLRs, for the most part. You just won't get certain snazzy things that the computer in the camera/lens takes care of for you.

I got it off goozex the other day, AFAIK there's not many changes from 07 or 08 (whichever Gill has) but I'm enjoying wasting a few hours on it here and there.

Same franchise, not remotely similar to play though. I was just a bit dismayed when I played a TW game and managed to shoot three under par on my very first go.
