RE: World's greatest cheese sauce

I often have the same thing with rice. Its either gritty or porridge. Everyone has heaps of confusing helpful suggestions, do it like this or that... But I just boill water and throw it in and hope for the best. occasionally its just right and I think why didnt i cook the whole pack.

I get where you're coming from merc, Its not being selfish. There will always be others worse off. If I crashed my car and ended up in hospital, there are still people starving to death in Africa or whatever. That don't help my immediate situation.

Just gotta keep some hope, remember these tough measures are for our collective good. We'll be paying for this for many years to come, but we'll get through.

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

Thats very unlikely, but they're working really hard at it. We cant go stir crazy this soon, just keep our fingers crossed.

Great news, they're testing 2 vaccines, one from America one from England I think... On ferrets in Geelong. Ferrets have a similar lung receptor or something, and were used for sars and mers.... But they're saying maybe 12-18 months away... Still, its taken 2 months what would normally take a year.

RE: Pretty good science behind it....No?....

Do your thing, be happy. If its working for you thats great. I'm not getting involved, I've said my bit.

RE: The Isolation Blog

Or even Indonesia, it will devastate them. Less developed countries will really struggle with this thing/

RE: The Isolation Blog

We just have to do our bit, isolate, and hope they do their bit, find a solution...

We cant control their bit. They can'tperform miracles, but they're working real hard.

Other countries have it much worse than us, our hearts go out. Lets just follow the advice and keep our fingers crossed.

RE: The Isolation Blog

I think the betting is wide open on that one, everyone is sharing data and information lke never before.My bet would be America, with our help... But I'd happily lose my money if Russia or China gets the gong.

RE: The World Is Finally Ready

Save a bit of hassle, brush your teeth at the same time.

RE: Because of Coronavirus

Yeah April fools day... minus the April or day...

RE: "author has disabled comments"

A blog about a blog you cant comment on...teddybear

RE: The Isolation Blog

I'd be a rich man, f I had all the answers now... Or considered a saint at least... I personally think this thing got away long before you realised it, and perhaps only the sickest of the sick were being tested, thats what is being said here. Only tales a few thousand and contact tracing is impossible, we will see that in a few weeks after the recent irrelevant council elections...

RE: The Isolation Blog

Yes, England is slightly behind Italy and Spain, but will catch up.... Thamk heavens we dont have public transport here, and very low population density. Apart from the expensive places like Sydney and Melbourne, which are full of foreigners.

Roast pork

Potato, sweet potato... This should help.


Roast pork

No sanitary pad pork would be finne, but thats a hard sell.

Roast pork

that would be SA pork.

Roast pork

The results are in... It was ok, the meat was delicuious, the crackling kind of alright.

Could have been a bit more crackly, it was ok but a bit boot leathery.. I hadnt realised thre was a sanitary pad thingy under the roast, but what the hey. It handled the oven.

The veges were about right, overall it went pretty welll.

I hate cooking.

RE: Off the radar...

Its tough. we all must change our routines. Lets all hope folks get through this thing. We can squabble later, I think.

RE: The Isolation Blog

4 Times higher with restrictions... without it could have been 8 times higher.... It certainly wouldnt be any less.

RE: We shall overcome.

Nah, throw a woman into the mix, it might spice things up.

RE: We shall overcome.

Yeah, welllast time you didnt do that good a job... You looked bored and mechanical, and had a cigarette dangling from your lip.

RE: The Isolation Blog

Basically, you wont see the results for a few weeks, and the increases are exponential not linear... To cut it short, if there were less restrictions the problem would be much worse in a month or so, despite things perhaps not delivering a visible result now.

RE: We shall overcome.

You never offered me a lapdance, its so unfair.

It wasn't me I swear... I left that area, maybe 1987 or so. But had family ties. Didin't move far anyway, Stanmore...

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

I did a few years back, I had to go back and see how it is done... Here's a Sydney band OMG...

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

They're great, but a Melbourne band...

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

Just hit the half century... I have heaps more stories about an even weirder time down at Glebe point, prior to that. And other mis spent youth in the inner city, particularly the cross. But not as bad as one might think.

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

And the old codger pubs, one was called the dunkirk, right near my work. An old lady would come through with a basket full of cooked lamb shanks wrapped in newspaper, one dollar each... Now, they're about 7 dollars each raw at the supermarket.... Jeez, I sound like an old can't hey...

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

If I saw you wave, I'd be the tall skinny guy awkwardly waving bck lol, didnt have a lot of confidence...

But yeah, remember standing for the National anthem, after lying about my age to not pay the $3 entrance fee... Afternoons in the dark mouldy boxing gym with smelly gloves and bleeding knuckles... and later getting baby octopus from the seafood market, my work was a short stroll away near the old abandoned McWilliams
wine building...
