We're now back onto good old GMT kiddies! Let's not forget incase you turn up for work an hour early.
Can anyone tell me why the fecking heck it is that sometimes I can post messages on this board when I log on to it, and other times the 'Post Message' button merely presses uselessy, neither causing any little thumbs-up thing to pop up nor, more importantly, any messages to be posted. It only ever stops working on one computer (the one I'm using now), and seems to start working again without any alteration to the computer. Cheers!
aieeee !
more sleep and yet its never enough. i demand an extra hour every day !
Yeah, well, I caught my phone clock, and the computer clock was fine, butI still eneded yup turning up at the car boot fair an hour early this afternoon. Still, got an intellivision and twenty games! So it was all worthwhile feeling like a dozy git.
I had to get up at 6am for a change this morning. I changed my watch just in case I went n too early :) It now feels like about 7pm to me a the moment.
Yer Slips
more sleep and yet its never enough
try telling that to the kids. child#1 was up at the unearlthly hour of 5.30am, closely followed by child#2
the two events are not unrelated
yttim?
same happened to me my thinky chum.
their little body clocks have no idea about the change do they. oh bloody no.
I've just changed the clock on the website. Let me know if the time stamps are still out in the chat room or anything.
Wake
Where are we supposed to take them back to?

Woke up this morning late, despite aged grandparent making the trip to have lunch with us for the first time ever. Suddenly realised - only 2 hours to prepare chestnut lasagne, clean bathroom, lay out wedding dinner service (carefully kept freeze-dried in tissue paper), blah blah blah... Get to 12, stop running for a moment to confirm to each other omigod we'll never make it on time, find out the clocks have changed and we do have that extra hour. A quick hallelujah and a teeny tear may have escaped my eye...
++ got an intellivision and twenty games! ++
Never played on an intellivision, the games / console (strange looking controllers) always seemed more interesting than the 2600 (with the exception of Activision)
++ chestnut lasagne ++
Can I have the recipe for that Dudley?

Can I have the recipe for that Dudley?
Sure! Be warned that it's from memory:
Ingredients:
Shedload of chestnuts (recipe says 175g, I've gone to twice that)
Mushrooms (again, recipe says 100g, it needs more. The darker varieties of mushroom are better)
1/2 green pepper, 1/2 orange/red/yellow pepper.
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
Glass of red wine (I'm catering for a non-red-wine drinker & use stock)
2 tbsp fresh herbs (e.g. Marjoram, oregano, basil, sage...)
Mustard
Flour
Butter
100-150g Strong cheddar cheese
3/4 pint Milk
Salt & pepper, nutmeg as well if you like
Green lasagne
Take chestnuts, cut a cross deep into the shell on each side. Boil for about 5 minutes. Peel the shells off. (This is the time-consuming bit). Mash as you would potatoes.
Chop onion, crush garlic, chop mushrooms roughly, chop peppers quite finely. Saute the onion & garlic, after about 2 minutes add in the peppers & mushrooms. Keep going until cooked but don't keep frying until its a squishy mess. Stir in the chestnut mash, the fresh herbs and a dab of mustard. Season. Stir in the red wine/stock, don't add enough to make it go runny, just keep it liquid.
Make a white sauce, stir in the cheese & butter, add a dab of mustard and a bit of nutmeg.
Take 1/2 the chestnut mixture, spoon into baking dish, flatten. Cover with sheets of lasagne, making sure they don't overlap at any point. Take the other 1/2, spoon over the top of that, flatten out, cover in lasagne sheets as before. Pour your cheese sauce over the top. Cook at 350F/200C for about 40-45 minutes (top should be browned & bubbly). Serves 4 people who like healthy portions.
Judge Dredd - isn't he brilliant?
"Never played on an intellivision, the games / console (strange looking controllers) always seemed more interesting than the 2600 (with the exception of Activision)"
Yes, it's very odd, the control is a small dial for a joystick and a keybad which you need to slip overlays over. Pretty bonkers stuff. Found most of the games really difficult to play with the exception of checkers on easy. When I beat the computer it played Ride of the Valkyries.
The games seem to have more to them than a lot of atari games, but the controls and everything is a bit weird for me.
yummie dudley ! cheers
