I am just back down from Glasgow, was taking stuff up to my flat and doing some food shopping. I bought lots of meat.

All well in Edinburgh?

eldest witchlet has the cold (altogether now ... aaaaw) which means she's driving me nuts with the sniff, sniff (followed by me yelling "blow your nose")

And yes, two minutes outside in the rain and I look like I'm trying to grow out a bad 80s perm.

Very good work
Same school and same class.
I talked to the head today and got the distinct impression that any job to come up was mine.
All I need to do know is to throw someone down the stairs or arrange to get them pregnant.

throwing down stairs does seem easier to arrange, but perhaps a little drastic.

TGB, I made an arse of myself once calling out an engineer 'cos my boiler was "broken". Turns out the big hole in the ground outside with a gas board tent over it should have given me a clue that the gas might be off .....

TGB - if we're not related then we darn well should be. Some of my relatives are far too normal in my opinion. I'll trade one of them, for one of you! You can swop houses, which nicely drags you over the border.

I'm laughing like mad
The apartments I live in, the entry doors are in a long corridor consisting of 4 apartments each side. I'm lucky enough to have one of the two middle ones on my side.

The couple 2 doors down from me have 2 dogs, and they let them shit in the backyard. Every morning, the guy next door yells out his patio door "clean up the fucking dog shit".

They just got into it and the police are now here....to be updated, I'm off outside to see what all the noise is about ;)

I don't know who any of you people are at first sight, but it's nice that they've now started a sort of half-way house type board between /talk and /QOTW
I'm assuming, however, as QOTW is mainly made up, it's almost like roleplay on here. Where you get to make up everything about yourself to impress fat birds.

(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Tue 16 Sep 2008, 20:26, Reply)
Not that anyone cares but...
The B-series engine was originally developed after WW2 however with every new car there were slight tweaks. So it is really 1940 technology that would have been revamped in the very early 70s to go in to the Marina.

Also if I had a late Marina it would have an O-series engine that was developed around 78 I believe.

It does work.
But the filters aren't cheap.
So it's actually cheaper to buy a mid-range bottle of vodka.

Ah, but are the filters reusable?

I may be able to score free ones from my uncle who works in some kind of chemical profession where they use lots of water filtration type devices.

Also: Absolut, Smirnoff Black, or Finlandia?

:edit: @Ancrenne Fantastic idea! What are the effects? Does it take away the edge of the vodka, or just add vanilla flavour? or both? or more?

/intrigue
(I helped save b3ta! SuperWeasel slightly better than the average weasel, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 0:41, Reply)
Save your money and teach yourself to drink Vladivar :D
Or get Russian Standard, that's pretty damn good for the price you pay.

By the time you've faffed around with filters, it's not worth the hassle.

EDIT: The vanilla pod vodka is excellent! I've sampled it first-hand, works excellently, takes the harsh edge off, and tastes much smoother, overall. And of vanilla.
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 0:43, Reply)
Fascinating.
I figure as a student it's cheaper to buy a bottle to live in my room and get comfortably mashed on it before I go out.

You'd be exactly right, I did that for most of my time at uni.

Unless you're on a tiny budget, get the stuff that's around a tenner a bottle, the stuff you can pick up for six pounds is gut-rot.

See what's on offer.
If you can get it cheap enough, I'd recommend Absolut, Finlandia or Russian Standard.

If not, Vladivar isn't bad.

@ Kaol / Ancrenne / Not sure who
Would the 6 pound stuff do for making vanilla vodka, or is it akin to putting lipstick on a pig?

Re: Drinking it straight
I'd recommend two ways of doing this.

You get the most out of it by drinking it as cold as possible.
Swigging out of the bottle isn't recommended.

Put four or five ice-cubes in a big glass, add vodka to cover the ice.
When the ice is mostly melted, you've got a decent temperature for sipping.

The other way is to leave your vodka in the freezer. I appreciate that, being a student, this is a recipe for it getting nicked.

EDIT: 6-pound stuff is fine for vanilla!

Outstanding
Just got to make sure there's plenty of ice kicking around for my Vodka / Jagermeister adventures.

I can't be faffing around with pints of beer, it's far too much hassle.

Cider, however...

Cider...
My advice is "Avoid super-strength cider".
It won't help you in the long run. You'll feel worse, and the hang-over isn't worth it.
Strongbow is always on offer somewhere, and if you don't like it much, buy a cheap bottle of blackcurrent squash :D

Strongbow and Blackcurrent eh?
I'm learning a lot from you guys.

Please, continue to teach me, Kaol-san

*grins*
That's about it, to be fair.

Food-wise, if you can't already, learn to cook.
Tinned tomatoes are your friends.
As are onions, garlic, pasta, rice and potatoes.


EDIT: I don't think he's my son... *calculates*
I'd've been four... So no.

My cousins
has influenced most of my drinking. I got the Jager habit from one, the Vodka habit for another (screwdrivers for breakfast, honestly!), and Cider from my friends. I'm just learning the best way of drinking them for optimum profit and fun.

I hope Kaol isn't my dad. That would make things most confusing indeed.

:edit: @Ancrenne Outstanding! I can cook fresh food moderately well to a degree, but i was hoping for a nearby greengrocers / asian grocery store so I could load up on staples cheaply, as well as indulge my mango, lychee and watermelon habit. Do you know of any such places?

I don't think I'd make a very good Dad...
*picks up empty bottles, cigarette packet and knives*

*shakes head slowly*
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:11, Reply)
I also love knives
The plot thickens.

Yay asian stores! Hopefully i can work my native-tongue magic on them and score some form of preferential treatment discount (H). (It's a cheek, I know, but it's also surprisingly effective, and as a student you have to take what you can get).

See, that's another reason
That you're not my son.
I'm as white as Mont Blanc :p

There're awesome shops in Soton, well, from what I've seen of it.

Ah poop
yeah, I'm an air cadet you see, so my love of all things sharp and pointy has a natural affinity with my love of camping.

And the H is a broken smiley - on msn it's a wee smiley man in sunglasses, which indicates to all an sundry that "I am cool", however, I had a momentary lapse of judgement and forgot that it doesn't exist on b3ta.

:edit: @Kaol, I'm not that dark. I could pass for half caste. I don't imagine you're one of discriminating tastes after a few beverages :P (Even if you are only 4)

No, I'm
4 years older than you :p

I'm the most awesome 22-year-old you'll ever meet on the internet.

Camping
Means that you can slice stuff up to eat.
Like rabbits.
And the "weaker" campers.
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:25, Reply)
*scans above to catch up*
vanilla vodka
lipstick on a pig
tinned tomatoes
air cadets...

ok, I'm up to speed. But feel I missed out on a good party.

Also I've just seen the time, and you''ll prolly all go to bed now :)

We do indeed go camping
Many squadrons take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. We do also fly planes. We do lots of things, it keeps children with short attention spans busy :)


:edit: @Warmfuzzyfeeling I'm here for a little while, i'm burning the midnight oil. Can't sleep so well. How did your talk go?
(I helped save b3ta! SuperWeasel slightly better than the average weasel, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:29, Reply)
I'm not in bed.
I'll be going to sleep about four.
But I'm going to do some reading for a couple of hours now, so I'll catch some of you tomorrow, and others of you "soon".

It's been a pleasure.

'Night Ancrenne, Kaol
Leaves me and fuzzy, burning the midnight oil.

What's up? I don't believe we've met.
(I helped save b3ta! SuperWeasel slightly better than the average weasel, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:35, Reply)
Helloes and byes
as appropriate.

The conversation went well. A lot better than the previous one where I spent three hours talking him down off a ledge, as it were. We may have made some progress.

*deserves drink*

But not of midnight oil, although there are probably worse things to drink.

Dealing
with suicidal people is the absolute pits. If you ever need a hand, or someone to talk to, feel free to gaz :)
(I helped save b3ta! SuperWeasel slightly better than the average weasel, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:40, Reply)
Thanks
I appreciate that. I promise not to get suicidal on you, too.

It's just so soul destroying to see someone going round in the same circles over and over... he's a great bloke with so much going for him but he hates himself, and me trying to persuade him that he is mentally ill is a delicate operation.

I used to be in the Samaritans yunno. Not as a listener though, was still too fucked up myself. "Hello Samaritans" "hello, I'm suicidal/having a nervous breakdown/lost my job/split up with partner/cat just died" ... "oh god I know how you feel" *wails*

*lightens up*

So, er... um... *insert new topic of conversation here*

OK I got one
How big does a page get before it becomes a new page?
(I helped save b3ta! warmfuzzies Isn't here, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:49, Reply)
I don't know
how big? (is this a joke? I'm genuinely not sure either way)
(I helped save b3ta! SuperWeasel slightly better than the average weasel, Wed 17 Sep 2008, 1:54, Reply)
It all went away for a while there
And no, completely unfunny non joke, soz. I just noticed that there are pages down there (where's the little downward arrow thing?) and wondered how big a page has to get before a new one is born.

Also I have another question.

How do you do hyperlinks? Or for that matter, how would I?
