Wreckers

Ever heard of watching movies online - FOR FREE!

Well, watched this movie this morning. If you want a movie with great graphics, then this is pretty good. If you want great acting, a plot that hangs together well, an epic blockbuster, then this is not it. If you are after something that explores the so-called prophecy of the Mayan calendar and oth...

I see you lurking mate.

Hiya!

If you do decide to come back and create a new char, give me a yell. One of my bots is carrying so much junk noob gear and could probably outfit an army of players. I would be happy to be rid of it, I have soooo much stuff stored away. If I don't have items, I can easily farm them up for you. Give m...

This should work quite well.

It is basically the same recipe as Welsh Rarebit (see recipe I posted a couple of posts below this) with a little more liquid in it to make it 'runnier'.

Out here, we call them Clog Wogs

And yes Gollie, we in Australia and others in many parts of the world, record the date very differently to the people in the USA. We put day, month, year. For instance, Xmas day is 25/12/09. It causes many of us a great deal of consternation when working in data bases and various other computer form...

Did you know that on August 7, 2009

At 12hr 34 minutes and 56 seconds the time and date will be

Hiya Sandie!

Nice to see you still lurking around.

It wasn't me! I wasn't there! Promise. I've seen a middle aged Scottish lady teaching us all how to wear a ladies' kilt and the shawl that can be formed from the kilt as well. I saw a special needs teacher getting audience participation in a series of exercises. I saw some really bad singer/guitar p...

Has anyone caught up with this at all? An English artist has set up an installation art work and it involves a plinth about 10 metres above the ground in Trafalgar Square and just common normal garden variety British (and others) have applied to be one of the 2400 people to spend one hour up on top ...

This was emailed to me recently. I won't swear to it being totally the truth, but it is funny. And if it is the truth, then I can totally understand. There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a tru...

Thanks Melo - looks like a fantastic trip out to Poor Knights and a great dive.

One day you will have to explain the ''Drowning of the Children''.

In Australia, footy or football as it is properly known, refers to Rugby Union, Rugby League or Australian Rules. That other weird game where overpaid actors run around with this round ball and kick it and aren't allowed to touch it with their hands (except for the goal keeper and on throw ins) is k...

I didn't get anything from the last handout and I won't be getting anything from this. Last time, when they were busy handing out payments to everyone else in the community, they managed to slash over $35/fortnight off my mobility allowance. Wonder what they will take away from me when the next hand...

Did you know inflating life raft / escape tubes were invented by an Australian and first used by Qantas?

OK, OK. Much against my better judgement, I will watch the thing. Might I add though before I do, that I'm totally opposed to touchy feely ''messages'' of love and hope and all that bullshit. So, if its about that, I'm going to be pissed off. ------------- Well, that's 16 mins of my life I will neve...

Even sadder that I recognise none of them.

I have a couple of Dutch ovens - actually 3 of them - 2 of them are the Le Creuset range which I have owned for nearly 40 years. The other one is a much shallower type with a high domed lid which is around 32 years old. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven A Dutch oven is a ...

I clicked the link. The first words that jumped out at me were 'The Economy'. I immediately had a brain freeze and closed the page down.

And now, the ultimate in up market fruit cakes: Wedding Cake 900gm butter 450gm castor sugar 450gm brown sugar 3 dozen eggs 2250gm plain flour 1 oz mixed spice (allspice) 900gm currants 2700gm raisins 2700gm sultanas 450gm cherries 450gm almonds 450gm peel 225 lemon peel 180ml wine or brandy 1.

Now, here's the Advanced Commonsense Cookbooks Christmas Cake recipe. Seriously, if I'm making any sort of cakes, I always use the Commonsense cookbook as my guide. Their recipes work! Christmas Cake 450gm raisins 450gm currants 450gm sultanas 225gm candied peel 280gm flour 1 level teaspoon bicarbon...

OK - here's the recipe out of the 1961 Advanced Commonsense Cook Book compiled by the Public School Cookery Teacher's Association of NSW. This is pretty much the same as my mother made except that she used brown sugar which gave the cake a richer flavour and a more 'fruit cake' colour instead of loo...

I think Binndii posted one somewhere further down the recipe listings. Failing that, will see if I can find my Mum's recipe. OR, if you have one, use the Boiled Fruit Cake recipe out of the Commonsense Cookbook. Nearly everyone who goes through high school should have a copy of this cookbook lying a...
