Boom, slight bang, whimper .....

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

LOL ! :-)

I loved the idea that Marvin would be washing spaceships for a half billion years, and then pick the very wrong one to steal ! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

*roll eyes down cabinet

*roll eyes down cabinet jokes*

Pre-impact, I glimpsed something that may have been naval Mikey ... but I can't be sure... it could have been brewinnnnng...stuff. I will be more thorough next time :)

*roll eyes back up cabinet jokes and continue repressing inelegant snorts*

Hello everyone :) Unexpectedly busy weekend turning random lengths of cloth into kaftans and robes and wings and whatnot, then painting them gold and psychedelic and trying to get them dry. Almost starred in a pop video as a sun-worshiping Neanderthal extra but got out of it thanks to the difficulties of what role my mum would be fit to play given there was nothing in the script about old ladies being tethered to a tree on Hampstead heath. Could have tried painting her to look like stonehenge I suppose, but that would have posed more difficulties when the police questioned the ensemble's right to film in a public place. Y-e-e-e-s. I did consider mentioning that to my son before he left, but neglected to remember to do so. Bit like I neglected to mention to him what to do if he missed his last train getting back from deepest Hackney Wednesday night with a flat phone. Which aged me ten years. Y-e-e-e-s.

:)

and last night I learned how to fold fanzine's without smudging the still wet ink from an emergency print-run because the first print run that was dry, was upside down. Very clever bit of origami that turns an A1 sheet into into A5 and negates the need for binding. Yes! :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Hmmm Naval. Did I mention a local distillery that makes this :

I ask that as a question because I may have told you about this, but not remembered. I cannot vouch for :

Quote:
.... aromatics of lime curd, pine needles, and fragrant spices with a vanilla character which pulls the spices together ....


.... as I no memory from the tasting session, beyond the lady saying that if you mix it with gunpowder it will explode*. Allegedly Her Majesty's Navy have somesuch test ( ? Chris ). They make this biological ordnance a mere 4km from where I live. Possibly the reason that it was awarded "Master status at the Global Gin Masters 2015" was that the judges were off their collective faces merely smelling the vapours. Since medical grade alcohol begins at 70% then clearly this gin is only of mild medicinal character.

... deepest Hackney ...


You say that like we would pronounce a certain 'select' Melbourne suburb : Collingwood. I say 'select' in the sense of deliberate allocation of extra police resources .... 'deepest Collingwood' would in fact be on the bed of the Yarra River.

Cheers, Mike.

* I can't recall whether you needed a lit match to help this happen. Maybe not.

Tut, tut. Try :

Even clevererer bit of origami that turns an A5 sheet shinto into A1

From http://www.axfordsabode.org.uk/spirit.htm:

Quote:
Labelling spirits today as overproof or underproof is derived from the early method of treating Jamaica rum in the naval victualling yards before it was issued to the warships. The rum used to arrive in England at 140 degrees overproof after which it was reduced to 95.5 degrees underproof by having water added to it. A small amount of the mixture was poured over some grains of gunpowder and then a magnifying glass was used to ignite it. If the burning alcohol managed to stay alight then it was said to be "proof". And if it didn't light then it was underproof. If it exploded then it was overproof.


Sounds like fun.

Ah. It's overproof then. As for fun, that would depend ( as always ) on proximity. :-)

Good morning everyone!!! It's

Good morning everyone!!! It's in the low 40's F here going up to a high near 60F later on, the average high right now is near 70F!! It's CHILLY outside!! It could be time for some of TL's famous, or is it infamous, chili!!

Orrr, since it's actually on my diet, I could just make a muffin pan full of some Cheesy Eggs. Essentially scrambled eggs, several kinds of cheese and some kind of 'meat'. I use fake crab meat as the real stuff turns yucky after cooking the dish for 25 minutes at 350F in the oven. Essentially they are mini omelets in a muffin pan that you layer the ingredients into and cook. I make a dozen at a time, eating one for breakfast every day, and keep the rest in a tupperware type container in the fridge. I do vary the kinds of cheeses I use to vary the flavor of the 'muffins', right now I am using some mozzarella, blue cheese and light cheddar cheese mixed in a bowl then added in. I also add a touch of Cajun seasoning just to keep it interesting, not too much though just 1/4 teaspoon for the whole batch.

Ooooo. Can I have some too. It was chilly here this morning. Lows near freezing. Heat went on once again. We even had some snow the other day. I guess this is the price we pay for having Spring in December.
