You’re a bit late to start if you plan on cooking it today, as you should ideally remove, and dry the fat as best you can before starting. However, you should get something cripy if you score the fat (not all the way through to the meat) with a very sharp knife and rub salt onto the top.

Warm up the oven to it’s highest temperature, bung in the meat, cook for 20 minutes, then turn the heat down (and open the oven door to cool it quickly) to a more sensible cooking temperature and finish off.

When stuck behind a learner motorcyclist, honking your horn, flashing your lights and gesticulating like an epileptic experiencing both a fit and 240 volts passing your scrotum will not help in getting you on your way any quicker.

In fact it will lead to the learner motorcyclist having a bit of a panic and forgetting how to do a hill start after a stall, then going on a deliberate go-slow up the hill.

I want to trust my life with this thing

And your budget is £500… 😕

Not sure I’d trust my life to a £500 bike, but there you go.

When I had my credit card done, the bar stewards used it to pay for a deposit on a flat (amongst other things). Despite having an address, which I would have thought would be a pretty good first lead, the police weren’t interested in doing anything.

If you’re considering the ps3 version, there’s a game breaking bug when your save file gets large.You start to geting low frame rates and the game becomes unplayable. It’s probably worth waiting till It’s patched.

Ginger tea with honey in works for me.

Peel and slice up some fresh ginger in about a pint of water. bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Strain, add honey then drink.

If the OP can prove that the goods were faulty at time of purchase than yes, he can apply for a repair/replacement or a refund.

However, I very much doubt the OP can. Instead the retailer can offer a repair or a replacement depending on which is their cheapest option. If neither of these are possible, then the retailer should provide a refund.

The vast majority are suicides.

I think that people should feel sorry for the person who felt they had no options left in their life, other than to end it.

I have, and like my S2. Have played with friends Iphones and wasn’t impressed. They’ll all work as phones and have shiny bits of software to do stuff. Go to a shop, have a play, and see which you prefer.

It hurts to crash and I’m a wuss… 😳

In the past I’ve phoned my local police station and delt with it over the phone.

Trying to get your local police stations number can be difficult.

The police are launching 101 across the contry next year, but if you happen to live in the right place at the moment, you can report stuff using this number.

[idiot mode] so just your normal everyday washing powder?[idiot mode off]

Yep, just so long as it doesn’t have a softner in it (i.e Bold). You need the heavier duty cleaning agents to get things properly clean.

OP: The fabric softner would in actual fact have a similar effect to a DWR waterproofing solution, the only problem would be that it also blokes the pores which make the jacket “breathable”.

Washing in detergent, then liquid soap/techwash will wash off the softner. I’d use a spray on waterproofer on the outside of the jacket and see if that fixes things.

stayhigh: Event is a bit of a bugger to clean, and keep waterproof. If it gets dirt/oil inside the membrane, then water can pass through. I’d rewash in detergent, then liquid soap/techwash and again use a spray on waterproofer.

A while ago, Orange changed the price of international calling in a way which breached their contract, so loads of people left.

I doubt they’d make the same mistake twice. I seem to recall there being a bit in the contract thay says thee are allowed to chnage the price, within certain limits, so long as they give you enough notice.

I very nearly missed a train from Glagow to Preston because of the idiocity of having to have a ticket for my bike.

The most annoying part of the whole fiasco was that the train only had the one stop, and there wasn’t anyone else with a bike, but I still had to go and get the ticket, and only just made the train. The bar steward of a “train manager” got his own back when I complained about the stupidity of it by locking the carriage with my bike in and buggering off home when we arrived at Preston, so I had a panic trying to find someone on the station to get my bike before my connecting train arrived.

Hope this works
Facebook linkey

Mincing down the goat fell path, crash at the end….

Was walking funny for a bit after that 😳

Then unfortunately, unless you’re prepared to register with spotify, then you won’t be able to use it.

ononeorange: Have you registered with Spotify? You have to register with them, or use facebook. If you don’t have or want to use your facebook acount, then create a spotify account using the signup link on the login page, it’s just above the blue login button.

I had the thing where it kept asking for my facebook login. I gave in, but found there’s a setting in preferences to “disconnect” from your facebook account, then it stops asking.

Phew, won’t look a total tool tomorrow then :o)

All the pictures I can find are of full licence counterparts.

I just expected the box to have something in it.

Nope, just a provisional (green) license with a friendly red L in the corner 🙂

It’s got cat a, b and fkp (?)on the back of the card, but nothing in the box on the counterpart

There’s a problem with the power steering on some, not sure if it’s been fixed as Nissan didn’t want to own up to it when the exs one (54 plate) had a fault just out of warranty. £1k+ to fix

Having seen someone do it with boiling water, I’m not sure I’d risk it full stop.

Interesting noise though 🙂

We have a few of these at work running various bits of kit.

If I recall correctly, the max. memory is 512MB, which can only come in the form of 2x 256MB sticks. I seem to remember ours needing PC133 memory like this amazon link

Is this the stuff you’ve been trying to use?

Amputation is the only answer

As far as I’m aware, the AOS battery bug was “fixed” in 2.3.4 (The ROM I’m using) so that isn’t applicable in terms of my battery usage. (It may be in the OP)

A trick to see if the phone has the AOS bug is to put it in airplane mode and leave it be for a few hours. There should be minimal battery drain, unless the phone is subject to the bug. Upgrading the ROM to 2.3.4 should solve the problem.

As my phones normal usage drains the battery significantly over the course of a day, and running with a task killer saves this, the point I was trying to make is that I’m not sure the sweeping statement that Android doesn’t need a task killing app is accurate. In some situations it will be of benefit, and it’s up to the user to see if it will help.

I asked about task killers because they can dramatically reduce battery life. You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) use a task killer on Android.

Have to say that as a Galaxy s2 user, without Advanced task killer (other task killing apps are available!), my phone only just gets through the day. I’ve seen you post similar statements in the past, so thought I’d do an entirely unscientific test over 10 work days, 5 with and 5 without task killer to convince myself that it helps.

For info. I’m running a rooted phone with Android 2.3.4 and the KG1 radio. Advanced task killer set to “agressivly” auto kill every time the screen goes off any apps it deems to be low security.

“Normal” usage is 30 minutes of music (spotify app) and internet (dolphin mini) use on the train in the morning, calendar and email usage (via exchange), pdf reading, note taking, the odd photo, occasional calls/texts during the day, and I’m in and out of reception as I work in a basement for some of the day. Then 30 minutes of train music/internet on the way home. No wifi, just whatever phone signal it can get (2g, 3g, and hspda)

With advanced task killer, my phone will have 60-70% battery at the end of the day. Without, it’ll have less than 20% at best.

I’d say for my usage (everyone’s is different obviously) running a task killing app is a massive benefit.

I’ve no idea what version I was using, sorry. I bought the wash in stuff a while ago though, I’m not sure how recent the 11.1 “upgrade” is.

Edit: seems it was released in May, so probably was the stuff I used.

I’ve just found that using a wash in water proofer seems to impair what little breathability my gore-tex performance shell jacket has already. I guess with shorts breathability isn’t such an issue.

One thing I have always wondered is if there’s a difference between the tx-direct wash in or spray on. Perhaps you could try to spray on the wash in stuff (I hope that makes sense!) to your just washed jacket and see if it works?

By Nikwax soap I mean Nikwax “Techwash” it’s just posh soap.

Nikwax do a wash in water proofer called “TX direct” which is the stuff you should avoid. The older style goretex (3 layer and XCR) were ok to use with this stuff, but the new liner on the new Performance shell fabric doesn’t like to be waterproofed.

You should avoid “normal” detergent as it contains wetting agents, which will stop the DWR from functioning properly.

You should use either the nikwax soap, or get some liquid soap, or soap flakes from a supermarket and wash the jacket in that. Apply a gentle heat source (cool tumble dryer, hair dryer) to the outside of the jacket and see if the water beads off it. If it doesn’t apply a spray on dwr like Grangers.

I’d imagine that Gore are telling you not to use a wash in waterproofer as it affects the lining of the jacket.

That’s a “nu” not a v, so would guess it’s come frequency related thing, and the “mu” (u) is probably to do with magnetism.

Im guessing but it probably has something to do with the properties of a fermion (electron?)… (proper wild stab in the dark type guessing!)

There’s a gentleman in Rjuken who overheard two very drunk brits discuss the design and construction of a catapult for flinging flaming badgers at ones enemies.

To be fair, I’d just climbed my first WI 5 and my mate is a lightweight 😳

Also, I overheard two lads on a bus “I was well impressed, I pulled it out and it was still clean, no sh*t or sweetcorn or nothing” 😯
