My thanks go to the awesome dutch guy with a land-rover who offered to drive behind us as we left hotel Monacle Mohr along the treacherous icy road teetering on the edge of Loch Voil yesterday.

Luckily we didnt need to be towed out of the loch but it was a comforting safety blanket knowing he was right behind us if we actually span off the road!

its good to share

Can you say MAGIMIX?

I believe a short term fix is to turn ‘fast freeze’ on as it over-rides the thermostat, though a lot of freezers don’t appear to have this button any more.

Ill try that.

interesting, my fridge freezer is in the garage, which is pretty cold. Thought it had died as stuff in freezer compartment had defrosted and there were no (power) lights on. Light inside fridge still works, but it isn’t making the usual fridge freezer noises (compressor), but maybe its just switched off?

How do I tell if Ive got 1 or 2 thermostats? My fridge has an SN in the serial number, which according to that article^^ means it can go down to 10 deg C. (its definitely colder than that in the garage).

Who cares. I’m just sick of the constant coverage on the Scottish news

isnt red ded redemtion just Grand theft auto in the wild west? I got a bit bored with GTA after a while, drive here doa mission drive home, get another mission etc etc etc. Maybe i will pick that back up.

Ive just discovered the special OPs misions on modern warfare 2 so they should keep me going for a while, and am half way through Heavy rain too.

We’ve got the Jamie Oliver Tefal range and we’ve been impressed with them. Good non-stick coating that is very easy to clean and a decent enough weight to the base. Okay they’re not Le Creuset, but the are considerably mire affordable

We have gradually replace our IKEA pots and pans with the Tefal Jamie oliver range. The anodised roasting tin has been the best buy ever

What about the end if Shawshank? Always gets me, even though it’s a happy ending.
+1 for Marley and me and UP too!

Its quite hardwearing though 🙂

So even if its stained, it wont get worn.

I quite like the scratchyness on bare feet.

but I tend to agree it is difficult to clean.

Crucial trading do great stuff. We put grey sisal on our stairs and landing and it looks great, although beware of when cleaning it, you have to use the supplied cleaning products and brush and do not put water on it! it wont turn into a gremlin but it can strip the die out of the carpet, as we discover when out cat was sick on it!

thats cheerful ^^

for a beginner……skiing snowboarding, less time on your ass flailing down the hill with your legs going in opposite directions

I’d probably just fall over lots though, since I’ve never had the chance to learn to ski powder, I’ve no idea how.

Just lean back more and surf!! (speaking as a snowboarder, not sure about 2 planks)

Caol Isla is £7 off in tescos, but I think ist still around £22? cant remember but its deeeee-licious!!

ive never got around to going skiing or snowboarding and i feel like im missing out on LOTS

Never too late to learn!!

Correction to the above. Blue skies in Dundee, and its snowing, how is that possible?

was it just me or did Karen Brady look HOT on the follow up show? (The Apprentice: You’re Fired). looks like she had lost tonnes of weight, got a tan and teeth and hair done?

Blue skies in Dundee, but we did have a very light dusting early this morning.

If they die from the fire you can be fined.

I am sure that will be the least of your worries?

I’d poke it’s eyes out. But then I’d have no eyed deer…

Chop its legs off and it is still no eyed deer….

make love to it and its still no (insert your own word) idea.

Slight hijack, but do you know how you copy a play-list from one mac to another?

Not the actual files/songs/mp3s etc but the actual criteria for the playlist e.g. artist equals Kylie Minogue, album = etc.

I have one mac that is dying and another new one, I a pretty confident that I have copied across all the music, but I don’t want to lose my play-lists that have taken ages to create

anyone?

I just got 4.7 out of 5 at work

I loves nickers

I love snickers

that sounds cool.

A best mate moved into a bedsit where a woman had been stabbed 48 times. He got let off the deposit because he cleaned it up.

I thought crime scene clean up did that?

Weve got a Krupps burr grinder, seems to work well. I think its this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krups-Expert-GVX231-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B0002H2IOM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1292415536&sr=8-2

He does a good tamper:

Get yourself a Proper edge tool and when you are considering your wax, maybe try and get some eco friendly hot wax too?
