I made *copy'n'paste from facebook*
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.

Dude, I don't have Crohns, but if I ate that I'd be on the bog all night.
Are you sure you don't aggravate it?

By the sound of things, of you what you say would keep you on the bog all night, I'm supprised you ain't got something wrong with you already.
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.

No Gonz, not at all.
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?????

Oh no, I know you're only saying it for my own good health.
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.

Gonz dude
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.
(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:17, Reply)
Venison is a very lean meat, there is no fat on there at all, and its in small quantity, why would that give me hassle?
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)
The point was that ecstasy takes its toll on your kidneys.
If you have healthy kidneys then there's no problem with it.

Meh, it's none of my business anyway.
(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:25, Reply)
oh absolutely the only time ecstasy can have any detrimental effect on someone is if they have pre existing kidney problems.

(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 20:29, Reply)
It's a pretty safe drug compared to a lot of over the counter ones.
And also compared to alcohol and tobacco.

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 got my xbox set up today, haven't used it in years, I got it on the day it came out.
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 thinking about that kind of thing today
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)
I watched the football today using my big telly as a monitor
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.
(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:17, Reply)
Aaaaah, I might do this when I get my new laptop as it will have an HDMI output.

Whats your TV make and model? I think the ethernet point is for mantainance for engineers unless it's a "Smart TV"; can do YouTube'n'shit.
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's an LG something something
My new laptop will have HDMI so that'll do sound as well as picture right?
(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:35, Reply)
I'm 95% sure it will, there are a few cases where it might not, but I doubt that'll be the case.
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.
(, Sat 17 Nov 2012, 21:39, Reply)
Does the 360 have a wireless network card or does it need to be ethernet connected?

The old ones don't but the new ones do, I don't know when they introduced that.

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

That would be pretty sweet.
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.

Yes. My TV remote has a "source" button
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.

It's part of a methordology that I think will change the way we use entertainment in the livingroom; called "Second Screen".
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.
