Mash made with Rosemary enthused milk, carrots boiled them finished with butter and carroway seeds*, venison fillet, a damson gin and chocolate sauce.
And I've managed to get ma's sky working here too. All in all, not bad saturdayolgizing
*ok, Heston did the seeds, I did the boiling and buttering
And once I've finished eating it, I'm going to get the violin out and see if I can learn a tune by christmas.

Are you sure you don't aggravate it?

Whatever I say I've cooked you claim would keep you up all night, if I said I had a bowl of cereal, you'd say the same thing.

I have no beef with you, I genuinely think that your diet may adversely affect your Crohns, just as your smoking probably does.
I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY, IS THAT SO WRONG?????

It's just that in light of this, should you truthly believe such a meal would give you toilet problems, perhaps you could say what bits would?
Also, I don't know if it helps you, but a lot of the time, I like to cook something to just try it or for the love of creating something. Hence me being on the internet right now with 3/4 of the plate still there.

If you had kidney troubles and were always posting about the amount of ecstasy you take I'd say the same thing.
And the venison wouldn't agree with me, I'm vegetarian.

It's not quite the same thing; what with food being a requirement for life and ecstasy being an iligel drug.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:22, Reply)

If you have healthy kidneys then there's no problem with it.
Meh, it's none of my business anyway.

You'd fart less and have a firmer stool.

Between buying the violin and today, I've had my health take a bad turn (and turn back to good now) and my kitchen has ment that I've been living on a building site for the last 4 weeks... my flat is finally back straight today. So I'm considering tonight the first night I've started, fresh start, so I should be playing a good tune soon !

I found out today that one of my favorite series of books came out on kindle this month; K-Pax. That's next on the list.

Just remember, music is just another language, just like all that coding that you find so easy.

Yup, thats a good way of thinking about it, although a keyboard is quite a bit easier to navigate.

There is usually quite a step up between grades 7 an 8 as well.

It's seriously impressive, i've got Sky through it on my Ma's account. There are loads of really new on-demand stuff in HD that I just press a button and it works. I even got a telly-style remote and something called "SmartGlass" on my iPad.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:52, Reply)

I was watching the Rugby on a live stream on my computer, and obviously the picture was a bit shit and I was sitting on a chair in front of my computer instead of the telly.
And my telly has an ethernet input, so would it be possible to watch live streams through the telly direct or would I have to use something like an Xbox as an inbetween thing.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:57, Reply)

It has a HDMI connector so I just plugged it into the computer and voila. Good stream quality, too, as long as I didn't do much on the laptop.

How far away is your computer and your telly? Even if your computer doesn't have a HDMI out, it'll have a VGA/DVI Out, so you can use your computer as a second monitor that way. It might not do sound though, so you'd have to think about some speakers with a long cable. Or if you have a sound-system, you might be able to plug into your soundcard from there.
I bought one of these that I've attached to my PC, that I'm resonably pleased with (might be a different model, but same principle)

With some wireless mouse and keyboard, and my telly can now do anything that a basic computer can do.

it was fine for connecting my laptop to my TV in the lounge. 10m now, I can arrange the room how I like.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:34, Reply)

My new laptop will have HDMI so that'll do sound as well as picture right?
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:35, Reply)

But if you pick up a second hand old 360, then it wouldn't hog up the laptop, no wires around the room, and you'll get access to a much nice/easier system.

£115 seems to make it a good buy. You can connect one of your hard drives to it

I don't want to run a cable over to the telly so wireless would be ace, and I also want a 360 so I can play assassins creed.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 22:01, Reply)

and when the two are connected "HDMI" shows up as an option. Then there's usually some fiddling to stop the TV taking over as the main monitor.
( , Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:40, Reply)

Basicly, its turning your ipad into a controller for the xbox, but its like a second screen for the xbox, so I can look up information such as who's on the screen at that point in time, or get football stats of whoever's playing. Load of stuff really.
