I'm very bored and not too sober
This should be the standard header for all TD threads.

Even the new heroes are quiet tonight.

I'm trying to trawl through a load of work
but eBay is being a bastard, and I'm going to have to give it up for the night.

And there's nothing good on TV tonight. This sucks. I think alcohol may well be the answer.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 18 Jun 2011, 21:00, Reply)

Alcohol is always the answer
Saturday evening TV has been shit since I grew out of it, but as my aerial is lying in a prone position halfway down my roof I don't even have that option.

Thanks for replying though - even B69 has wandered off after I abused him.

Perhaps you should have spooned him afterwards then.
We have stumbled upon V for Vendetta, which I have never seen before, so we are watching that.

I'd have watched that too

..but it's not working so far. Surely this programme would struggle holding a daytime slot on LivingTV. Stoopid marital compromises.

Thanks =)
It's the first time I've made carmel before, it's amazing stuff, it takes ages and ages and then all of a sudden it's brown and then all of a sudden burnt. It's got a forked puff pastry (stop it rising) with apples and pears. It was all need but when I went to turn it out I hit a cupboard and it all shifted to the side.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:05, Reply)

I'm no chef at all
Trying caramalised stuff is a feat beyond me.

But if I had a superfast anti-breathyliser car I'd be all over that.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:13, Reply)

It's quite simple really, water + sugar + high heat + 15-20 minutes. I thought it was 50/50 water to sugar but think that might have been a mistake as it took longer.
It just needs faith that it's gonna turn into a carmel, it starts off as a clear liquid, then after 10 minutes it's bubbly and I noticed the spoon (wodden) i used to stir left a crust when I put it on the table, and then it turned into a white foam that went yellow and then a few moments later brown.... when I then plonked in the fruit it was soo dark and I was like "Oh shit, too much", but it's alright.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:18, Reply)

Are you not needing more sugar than water?
This is something I'd like to try.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:32, Reply)

I'm not 100%, the 50/50 thing worked, but it took a lot longer than it does when they do it on the telly, I think they just add about 20% water.

You're the trained chef.

Your verdict?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:51, Reply)

Just had a taste, it's really nice, I over-flowered the pastry though which was a mistake as you can taste the raw flower... but it's good for my first attempt =)

I'm not at all bored and totally sober, so nerdy-ner to you!
And the "new heroes" (pfffffffft) can ram it!
I like my heroes old and dead, like Hendrix, Marx and Elliot.
I wanna see these so-called "new heroes" do something heroic...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sat 18 Jun 2011, 21:41, Reply)

Which Elliot are you thinking of there?
Elliot Smith is very dead. Listen to Figure Eight and tell me it hasn't bent your head a bit.

I was thinking of T.S but I'll check out your recommendation.
What is it with "heroes" these days?
Try doing something heroic, then I'll call you a hero.
I think folk these days are far to easily impressed, just look at the gormless retards searching for fame every Saturday night.

( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:28, Reply)

Do that thing
Lots of bands - even the despicable fucking abomination that is Coldplay - claim Elliot Smith as a big influence.

Not a very stable man, it has to be said, but eventually he'll be up there alongside Buckley, Hardin and Drake.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sat 18 Jun 2011, 22:37, Reply)

I was confused for a moment there because I thought you were talking about Elliott Carter.
Who as it turns out is 102 and still alive.

evening TD
I went to Wok Your Way www.wokyourway.co.uk/ and had chicken and mushroom with black bean sauce and egg noodles ( and the usual stirfry veg). Not bad - and practically on my doorstep!

Now I'm stuffed and Braveheart is starting. I'll give it a while, see if I want to watch it all...
