why thank you,

but it's not toats time til the morning

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 22:46, archived)

WHAT!?

Any time is toats time in fact I am just about to have a slice but am still undecided what is going to go on top of it.
And me being a DTF deputy too. Oh the shame.

i had edam on digestives

not sure how much bread i've got left and need at least four slices for lunch. but yes, toats is an acceptable food at all times of the day

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 22:57, archived)

Mild cheese on digestives is wonderful as a late night snack

I commend your use of Edam as well as commending your use of digestives.

I hear there is champagne marmite

But why bother.

I see myself as a Marmite missionary

Trying to get heathen Aussies to abandon their vegemite eating ways!

had an english bloke who'd been on holiday there saying vege was better

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:06, archived)

I lived there for many years.

Thank god for expatbox.com! Vegemite is Marmite with training wheels.

You're not meant to use it that way:P

(

riverghost servicing your mum since, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:24, archived)

(

riverghost servicing your mum since, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:07, archived)

indeed

for a snack today, i couldn't decide if i wanted something sweet or savoury, so i had 2 slices of toats. one had honey on, the other had marmite on. it was the best snack i've had in ages!

(

Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:12, archived)

This is true

I use it for butties and to make tasty stews.
My dogs even love it and I make a gravy for them to go over their food.
I run a proud Marmite household.

(

riverghost servicing your mum since, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:37, archived)

I don't know why I bothered thinking about it

because I knew that in the end I would choose Marmite and I did :)

more of a fifth gear fan then?

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 22:58, archived)

Not really

My fan only has three settings, but that's besides the point we were talking about wind turbines.

(Jeru War and Piss, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:02, archived)

your wind farm has broked

SCEINCE! You bastard.

how ironic, you'd think they'd be built for high winds

*chortle*

they switch them off when the wind gets up

(no joke)

now THAT'S efficiency

(

drbroon abloooobloobloo, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 22:50, archived)

don't get me started on wind turbines.

wildly inefficent with overblown claims on the power they produce.

not to mention the tonnes and tonnes of concrete that it takes to anchor one into the ground.

Thor_sonofodin has done things, terrible things on, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 22:58, archived)

they're threatening to stick 8 in just behind my new house

I'm a bit fucked off with them too, especially after reading up on just how much the push to install them is based on the money that the powerplant owners make from governmental cash flow. Don't get me wrong, I do think they can work, but the margin to do so is so narrow at the moment that this massive push is only going to end in tears.

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:03, archived)

I think nuclear power is the most obvious option for the moment

we can only be a decade or two away from Fusion after all

Jahled Three shades of black, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 23:12, archived)

This country has a serious power shortage resulting in constant supply problems

and power cuts.
Now I hear the French are here to possibly create a wind farm up the coast where the wind howls almost constantly.
I cannot see how windfarms will solve this massive problem.
See Thor's reply for the reason.
They are tree-huggers' solutions that in reality are relatively inefficient.
