RE: Do you like food?

I'm a member on a chefs forum....if you want a recipe for anything, let me know!blushing

RE: Do you find tattoos disgusting or unflattering?

On young people with hydrated skin they look nice if there well done.

However theres nothing worse than an old man who's wrinkly and brown with tatts on his arm and he looks like an old washed up hobbo.

The chrone/Hobbo look isn't a good one, so might be an idea not to get cut with a skull and crossbones or a swastika unless you want laser surgery to get rid of it when your older.

RE: Need more prayers....It's worse this time.

I sincerely hope charges have been filed and this maniac has been locked up?

RE: What is your worst computer mistake?

We've all done that. or posted something a wrong window on msn etc.

I did one once that was really confidential, hit enter then to my horror it appeared on a forum!

Multi tasking can be very dangerous!

RE: Interesting facts about yourself

I have to say, when i saw you post about your career i was dead jealous!!!! I was reading about aircraft development at 8 when other kids were reading the beano!!!

Strangely enough there is someone on the website who works for Boeing!! But i don't ask questions that i know will shall we say get her in trouble!!

If your ever in the UK let me know, as there's something i want to check that i was told by someone in 1989 that i'd be very curious to listen to your opinion having your background given your position within that facility!!!

I have to scoot, but i'll be back later...get booking a golfing holiday, we have a few great courses near me designed by Tony Jacklin.

RE: Interesting facts about yourself

John, can i ask you if you knew Ben Rich (@lm).

Don't worry i wont ask anything that will see your ending up in jail!

RE: Interesting facts about yourself

True fact, I'm the most overqualified unemployed person in this house.

The other inhabitants of this abode are feline, so they don't want a job anywayrolling on the floor laughing

RE: Unemployed

Here's my situation, part qualified as a driving instructor, been a publishers agent, buyer in IT, ran my own business etc etc, and when i apply for a job instead of the employer grabbing me fast and learning as much as they can, well their frightened i'll be with them for 6 months then leave on my qualification!

Being overqualified and too experienced is just as bad as being underqualified when applying for any job!frustrated

RE: why do u live ?

Any woman, you must be joking, i'd rather drink my own piss.

I learnt my lessonprofessor

RE: why do u live ?

I question why i bother, if i was just practical (and i'm reaaaaly practical) i would not bother to wake up tomorrow.

But then who would look after my cats, what would someone tell my son?

So it seems i'm alive to wait till my son contacts me and my cats are happy.

Other than that, i have to search for a good reason!laugh

RE: What DONT you miss

Oh it's voluntary, i can sort of switch it off in my head, and it happens involuntary so i don't even notice of i cut an arm or leg etc.

I first realised when i was a kid, and i was making a model Aeroplane and making a boat out of left overs.

anyway the doorbell went and i hopped up and answered the door, to com back and see the carpet had blood all over it, then i noticed the razor blade i was using was moved, and it sliced right to the bone under my left heel!

And i didn't feel it!!doh

RE: OK its yet another boring rainy day and I fancy doing some baking......

Did i mention i can cook, properly?

Anything goes wrong ask, and i have a friend who's a top chef who i can ask where anything went wrong!!!

If you want a website where chefs swap recipes etc, let me know...i'm there lots of time, and am working my way through all their paella recipeslaugh

RE: OK its yet another boring rainy day and I fancy doing some baking......

Here you go trish!

This is my favourite. Not salty, somewhat chewy but not gooey, good chocolate flavour without tasting like a candy bar.

BROWNIES

2 ounces bitter-sweet (baking) chocolate
¼ cup butter (½ stick)
2 eggs (room temperature)
? teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped pecans

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Grease 8-inch X 8-inch square or 9-inch round cake pan.

3. Break chocolate into pieces and put in glass measuring cup;
add butter; microwave on high about 30 second, just until butter
has melted; remove from microwave and stir; if chocolate has
not melted completely, return to microwave for 10 seconds,
then stir again; repeat until chocolate is just barely melted; set
aside to cool (do not use while still hot).

4. Beat eggs & salt with whisk in large bowl until light and foamy.

5. Gradually add sugar to eggs, whisking well after each addition;
beat until very smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.

6. Add vanilla to egg mixture and whisk until incorporated.

7. Add cooled chocolate and butter mixture to egg mixture; fold
together with a rubber spatula.

8. Before chocolate and egg mixtures are completely mixed
together, add flour; continue folding.

9. Before flour is completely mixed in, add nuts; continue folding
just until mixture is evenly coloured.

10. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 25 minutes; centre will
appear crusty but will be quite soft; cake is done when it just
begins to pull away from sides of pan.

11. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

A car that can run on chocolate, just keep the woman and kids....

Away from all the chocolate or you won't get off the driveway.laugh

Here's a green motorsport vision with a difference: a racing car built from vegetables and running on waste chocolate.

Conceived and constructed by experts at Warwick University, the WorldFirst Formula 3 car takes environmentalism to extreme new levels.

* GALLERY: The vegetable racing car that runs on chocolate

If you excuse the vegetable, uh, garnish, the WorldFirst doesn't look all that unusual in the photographs. As a Formula 3 design it appears exactly like the miniature F1 car it is trying to be. The differences come at root - haha - level. This car isn't quite as simple as it seems.

Take the steering wheel. It's a composite material, made from carrots, and other root vegetables. The wing mirrors are made out of potato starch. Flax fibre finds its way into the seat shell, the bib, and the wing endplates. The seat foam is derived from soybean oil and recycled polyester.
Air cleaning radiators and biodiesel

The bodywork sidepods are a combination of glass fibre and resin produced from recycled plastic bottles. There's more recycled plastic in the wiring loom, along with recycled aluminium. Recycled carbon fibre is used for the engine cover and damper hatch. Meanwhile the brakes are deliberately not carbon composite for eco purposes.

Soon the brake pads will be constructed from cashew nut shells - an innovation cribbed from the WorldFirst's Warwick predecessor, EcoOne (a small Formula Student single seater that also featured potato tyres and hemp bodywork). Apparently even the WorldFirst's livery is recyclable. And the radiators actually clean the air as it moves.

That's because these are coated with a special catalyst that converts ozone to oxygen. Under the hood, the 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine has been recalibrated by Scott Racing to run on biodiesel - incorporating waste chocolate and vegetables - and all its lubrication is based on plant oils. It's a comprehensive piece of work.

As for performance - cornering speeds are up to 125mph...
Meet the team

The team behind the project are all based at Warwick University, encompassing the Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre and Warwick Manufacturing Group. Project Manager is James Meredith, assisted by Dr Kerry Kirwan, Dr Steve Maggs, Steve Lambert and Ben Wood - who also project managed EcoOne. Best of luck to them.

You might, however, be wondering what the point is. WorldFirst is simply an attempt to prove there's more to green motoring thinking than adjusting the engine technology - as seems to be the case with most of the eco road cars currently available. This project shows sustainability can be far more widespread.

"It's been very exciting working on the project and important for our team to develop a working example of a truly 'Green' motor racing car," comments Meredith. "The WorldFirst project expels the myth that performance needs to be compromised when developing the sustainable motor vehicles of the future"

Right on.

RE: New whistling cars...

Yeah, nothing wrong with a minigun, then first stop...SEVEN ELEVEN, WALMART, Then BURGER KING.

Damb, my plan's now out, ill have to adjust to using one of these instead.

There aint any escape from a walmart car park with one of these!

RE: New whistling cars...

God Bless SUDOCREAMrolling on the floor laughing

RE: New whistling cars...

Yeah i saw that, was scary as the police cant exactly ask him to pull over!

Thank god the tank wasn't armed!

Had it been Russian the firing system is automatic, so imagine the consequences of that, not knowing how to operate the fire controls.

Scaryprofessor

RE: New whistling cars...

Yeah you need a Javelin, not a stinger.Either that or an abrahams tank and drive straight over his carrolling on the floor laughing

Now that would be a good videolaugh

RE: New whistling cars...

Iv'e been there a lot!

Gimme C4, detonators, claymore mines and an assault rifle and i will sort out crime there and antisocial behaviour in a week.

Oh i'd need IR goggles, .40 cal pistol, a Commanche Helicopter and about on third of the Marines, or say the 101th Airborne for a week.

Mind you, you'll need a lot of body bags ready...i'd be on a cull so fast it would look like a remake of "day of the dead".rolling on the floor laughing

RE: relationships

Are the two girls sisters, if that's a yes...he's F**kedrolling on the floor laughing

RE: New whistling cars...

I have a suggestion for anyone with a neibour with this car modification.

It's a landmine.....put it in front or the offside front and one at the back as well.When the moron gets in the car, moved away, big bang and the car fly's up and into the next door neighbours driveway.

If there's a few of these in your neighbourhood, can i suggest an anti tank rocket, limpet mines and an anti personnel mine attached to a tripwire right out side their front door.

Between them, arms sales go up, wipe out a proportion of brain dead morons and save the taxpayer for having to retrain these morons to drive the special buslaugh

I think that covers itgrin

RE: what do you miss about being in a relationship?

how did you know she did that as well!!! She used to roll up in it like a hamster nesting.

If i even felt frisky there was a hill of duvet to wade through, and then she's be boiling hot...and i have trouble with heat in bed, i have to stick my feet out the covers.

She wasn't bad, she just was i think a giant reborn hamster.

RE: REBORN to the Wonders of CS !

We'll see, my moneys on a rogue within a weeklaugh

RE: of to look else where

No those with chilled toilet roll, sudocream and inflatable seats for my toilet i will think of warmly, the others, well...we may as well consider them condemned for burning at the stakelaugh

RE: of to look else where

Right i'm going to leave you funsters to it, it's nearly 2am here, and i need to be up and type up something for a barrister in the morning, so i will bid you all farewell.

Hugs to those that want em, cakes to the others and for the rest who see me as Satan, well there's a bucket of horse crap i left in the corner for you sodslaugh
