Re: Worth 1,000 Words

I saw a link to it once, loads of bearded men discussing all the hot gay sex they get.

Re: Not all vapers are cnunts

Good, I think vaping is an excellent way to get rid of cigarette smoking.

If I do not notice them, why would it bother me?

That said some go for huge clouds, or huge strange looking devices, like they are trying to draw attention to themselves.

Re: No need for a vegan button

Good idea, they are annoying, the ones locally especially

Re: Idiots in charge of drugs regulation.

Never understood why MDMA and Cannabis are illegal rather than controlled and taxed.

Banning as messed up Cannabis (high strength rather than well grown) and Extasy.

I have known users of both and I found being in the company of dope smokers preferable to cigarette smokers.

Re: Vaping is harmless

Current views appear that vaping is a lot less harmfull than smoking, but level of harm is currently not fully known, only that glycerin? may be an issue.

So it seems better than smoking, but not as good as nothing at all.

Re: Both were good ideas but

Precision

Move was actually very precise, you used it a bit like a mouse, but it was OK for sports games if you wanted. I just liked it for shooting things.

Both were good ideas but

Kinect had a silly name and silly games, a few good ones but was too early to market. Also lack of buttons.

Move worked but was overshadowed by Wiiii and Kinect, and not helped by lack of game support, or occasional poor implementation. COD and BF would have pushed it mainstream.

I will admit to being a Move user, for First Person Shooters, but most sheep played COD and BF, not Killzone nor Resistance.

Re: Now I'm hungry

No no no

Drive to Cornwall, find a really good pasty supplier, drive home at speed.

Sit down, enjoy pasty.

Re: Just when I think I've firmly decided on Remain

That is an issue, Ginsters is better than 3 but not as good as 1.

It seems strange defending them, but when you live miles from Cornwall and get the urge, sometimes it is the only way to get a fix.

Better a Ginsters than a Pork Farms.

When in Cornwall loads of decent Pasties, would not even look at a Ginsters, let alone eat one.

Re: Sarcasm

OI

I have relations growing pasty components, Cornish beef to be precise

Re: Sarcasm

And a lot of these faux pasties were disgusting, making Ginsters seem like a work of culinary genious

Re: Heathens!!

Seen loads crimped along the top.

And they were a lot better than Ginsters.

Home made by Cornish born women.

Re: Heathens!!

A few things

Pasty Crimping

It really depends who is doing it, Can be along the top or the side, but more concerned for the pastry than over the way it is crimped.

Different people do it different ways, depends who they learnt from.

My mum did them along top and offset. Just get the ingredients correct.

Ginsters

Now a quandary, yes they are a Cornish pasty, yes they are not that good, but a huge BUT.

They are better than the rubbish produced by many other producers around the UK, much much better. Wrong pastries, wrong meats, added carrots, really cheap ingredients. When you get guff like this even a Ginsters pasty is nice.

So the best way to describe a Ginsters pasty is OK, BTW their steak slices are pretty gruesome!

I find Rowes are pretty good, some of the small bakery ones can quite variable in quality, one day very good the next unedible. Have had this with a producer in the Lizzard.

I still regret the passing of the Falmouth Pasty Co chain as theirs were good, and available up here!

But if you are on holiday and find a good supplier, remember them for future use.

Yankdates

Bloody impossible to work out.

Had lots of moans about reports not working while testing software, because none of us could get our heads around the dates.

"Why is 24/04/16 an invalid date?"

"Why is a report from 01/04/16 to 01/05/16 empty? I put on loads of orders for today."

Was a simple code change but a nightmare to test.

Imperial was easy in comparison. Just a matter of scale. And making sure all rounding was consistant. Putting floating point mm into integer mm pushed to wrong 1/16".

Re: Workaround

DVD advert skipping blocked.

Just meant I stopped buying DVDs

For a few months it was rip DVD & burn DVD-R, so I removed a step and just did the burn.

Re: Stats

60% of women admit to looking at porn online.

The other 40% watch Poldark

Re: Two steps forward...

No I am thinking of the Ukrainian Soviet leader who gave Ukrain Crimea.

So I understand why Russia wanted it back.

No Israelis there.

Middle East has been a total screw up since the demise of the Ottoman Empire

Re: Two steps forward...

I think Crimea is understandable, looking at recent history/

But the rest of it well what can the West do?
