Wreckers

Approx 28gm to the oz. Therefore 8oz x 28 = 225gm

Welsh rarebit is perhaps the most famous Welsh dish of them all and one which, along with Irish Stew and Scottish Haggis, travelled the world over. There is much debate as to where the name derives from. Some say it comes simply from ‘rare' (lightly cooked) and ‘bit' (small portion) others believe i...

Did a Thai cooking course years ago and these were the recipes we cooked. I can vouch for every single one of them. They all work, aren't terribly difficult and fantastic taste. Chili Dipping Sauce 3 birds eye chilis 3 cloves of garlic 1 cup boiling water 3 tablespoons sugar 1-2 tablespoons vinegar ...

Nah mate - even radio stations have websites with interesting bits on them now - they put the recipe for it up onto their website

I listen to a radio station and ever since this recipe was given out a couple of weeks ago, it has been non-stop people ringing in having tried this recipe out and raving about how fantasic it is blah blah blah. Thought I would share the recipe with you and will probably give it a go sometime over t...

Try adding a good squirt of lemon juice to your frosting and then sprinkle some finely grated lemon peel over the top when iced and you virtually have my recipe.

The lemon juice in the frosting really makes a great improvement.

I'm looking at selling up in about 2 years time.

Failing that, I might just toss some cash at the house and fancy it up and rent it out for a decent price and buy a small cottage for cheap in the sticks. The rental would cover the house repayments.

I'm not really too concerned about interest rates and stuff like that and I can appreciate that the cost of housing will probably drop in the short term but I expect it will get back to what it is now within 2 years, if that. As for housing appreciation, I bought my inner city trendy suburb free sta...

I like it! It reminds me of the opening section of Jean Michel Jarre's Equinoxe, without all the electronic whizbangery. Its sitting on a rocky outcrop with the waves breaking a few feet from you and its just before dawn. The first fingers of light are just starting to colour the horizon and the oce...

Ahhh Tetris.

The game that was responsible for me getting hooked on computer games.

Work computer had a copy installed, this must have been around 18 years ago.

Sure, I had one of the earliest Atari systems when the kids were little, but Tetris on the computer was something else again.

Goal Umpire - Only one at each end of the field. The goal umpires are the official score keepers who signal goals and behinds and work in tandem with the boundary umpires when the ball goes out of play near the goal posts. Goal umpires signal scores either by raising their arms in front of them at w...

Dogs have Masters. Cats have Staff.

Now, who is the most intelligent?

What is it with a Tim Tams thread dragging out all the retired Wreckers?

No. As all us cat owners will attest, cats are one of the smartest animals around and simply love not turning up when they are supposed to and annoying the stuffing out of everyone (plus making them worry)

You surprise me - I didn't think you ate veggies.

The beauty of it is, you can eat it out of the container you cooked it in and your washing up is only a knife fork and bowl which you can just rinse clean under the hot water tap. Cheap packets of Woollies spirals are around 50c a packet on special and you can get 4 huge serves out of it, if you use...

Here's one you can knock over in about 10-15 minutes without any cooking skills whatsoever. Its very tasty and great for a cold winter night. AND its dirt cheap. Cheesy Macaroni Actually it doesn't even have to be macaroni, use spirals, shells or normal long spaghetti. If you use long spaghetti, bre...

Is it only 2 chords?????? Because thats all I'm hearing.

The one about the mobile phone being used to unlock your car was discussed in depth on 2BL a few weeks back. Several people claimed it would work and several others claimed it wouldn't. Around 10 people then rang back to say they had tried it out on their car and it worked. Now, I'm not saying its t...

Aam has found places you can buy them in the USA Golgo -- you might need to have a little conversation with her.

Hiya Theeo,

Good to hear from you hanging around and stuff.

I would help you with the Mac problem only it seems to be having an issue and telling me it doesn't have a system installed. Stupid machine, and I've tried reinstalling it and it won't. Maybe the Mac is just too damned old now.
