I know that there is a whole other branch of chiropractorosity (sp?) that deals with energy flows and shit like that, but that's why I said you should get a recommendation off someone who knows that they are the kind that acts like a physio rather than a quack.

Flip it every 15 seconds 'till it's done. The idea being that the top side takes 15 seconds to cool down, so if you keep on flipping, you get more crust without the centre over-cooking. You also slice it up by cutting against the grain.

no, that's not what I meantI'm not debating the cooling down speed. I'm sure that leaving it for longer does make the top side colder, obviously. but the heat capacity of iron is so many orders of magnitude higher than steak that flipping it with the top at 20 C or 200 C probably only makes a second or two of difference in the time it takes the bottom to then get back up to the temperature of the pan again.

What you do is get all his mates 'round, and you get them all to stand in a line...... and then you say "Would everyone with one grandfather take one long step forward", and some of the kids will take a step, some won't. Then you say "Would everyone with a second grandfather please take another long step forward", and some kids will step forward, some kids won't, but when your kid goes to step forward and say "Not so fast son, you can only do one step".

True story, I remember when my only grandparent died, I was about 7 or soo, I mean, I remember my mum telling me about it and she was all upset.I could see she was sad but I couldn't work out why because now I can spend saturdays playing with my friends instead of going to see him. This is where Karma fucked me over, 'cus instead of getting to play with my friends, I had to work in my Dad's shop instead.

On another point, this is why I think everyone should have a grandparent and a pet...... it should be that your pet dies, so you learn about death and all that. Then you granddad dies which is a lot worst but still understandable. Then your parent dies, which is even worst soo, but you're now used to it so it's OK.
'cus let's face it, Lion King might be rented out at Blockbusters.

0o0o0o0o0oh, yeah', that's how I'd do it. Get him to watch The Lion King, let walt disney do all the hard work, and then at the end say "You know grandpa, yeah'? Well, same thing, innit".
This isn't a bad idea if you do it less foreseashusly.

Hopefully at the funerial, as he inexplicity sees all these people he knows crying, sees his aunty and uncles trying to be brave and not cry, seeing everyone biting their upper lip and trying to be british about the whole thing...... knowing that something is lost, but not quite sure knowing what. Only understanding that they'll be one less person around the table at christmas dinner, one less pressent under the tree. Knowing that when he turns 18 they'll be a few quid for him that might pay for him to go to Uni, but thinking that uni would be horrible, just like school. Wondering why he has to wear his big-boy clothes....etc....
All he'll be thinking is. "It's our problem free, philosphy, Hakuna Matata.".
