Same here... I looked up the trophies. Apparently we have them all. Maximum achievement reached. We can go no further. Do we hang up our boots and retire at the top of our games?

One note... Putting this in under competitions and results pretty much guarantees that people who don't care about such things will never see it... (after it drops off the recent posts box anyway)

The Muppet was probably a chat bot. They are all the rage these days for further pissing your customers off. Don't worry though, I'm sure you can order your X (blow up doll) for your specific event (missus is away next weekend) somewhere else...

I tend to rack off the fruit after 7-10 days. I find that any longer and the fruit that floats on top starts to go nasty which taints the wine. I suppose you could do what the red wine guys do and keep plunging the cap but that's a lot of work and I'm lazy. 7-10 days seems to extract pretty...

I started fred maybe 25 years ago. 50/50 slurry of flour and water. Can't remember what else I did. Has been going strong ever since. I feed him on white bakers flour but he makes a very nice rye loaf as well.

Drop me a pm with your address.... Fred my sourdough starter is getting on for 25 years old now.

Nope. Not helping at all. Basil likes it warm. Mine dies off around now but sheds plenty of seed so I get a good crop the next year. Edit:bloody autocorrect

Yep. Proper journalism. Not many real journalists left.

Yeah, the recipes are pretty good. Their process though is again, pretty dated. In particular, they advise to rack the mead every few weeks multiple times. I find that once is enough for most meads maybe twice if there is a lot of fruit. Multiple rackings just create an oxygenation risk. If...

Acton and Duncan is very, very dated. I bought it when I first started making mead nearly 30 years ago and it was old then. They didn't have nice stainless fermenters back in the early neolithic so by metal they mean things like an aluminium pot. Stainless will be fine. Cheers Dave

Course she can. It's her ****** language after all. She can speak it any way she ****** well wants to.

No... It shows that whoever designs their work practices needs to do a refresher course in flow efficiency.

My kids do their karate classes at Warrawee primary. I've drunk in the Pymble pub. And I used to go to chatswood to the movies as well (though these days the Hornsby Odeon is the picture palace of choice).

If it wasn't for the Mil that's exactly what we would do. She had to move from Sydney to Victoria close to the BIL to be able to afford a retirement place (sold a house on the Central Coast which would buy approximately a quarter of a one bedroom place in a retirement home in Sydney) so visits...

I could.... Or I could use our current strategy of pretending they dont exist for most of the year and gritting our teeth through 2 days over xmas and desperately trying to steer the conversation away from politics.

Yeah.... I'm not entirely sure he would appreciate the subtlety of that argument.

I try to keep my kids away from my in laws as much as possible. So does the missus. The Mil has dementia (not the happy, vague kind but the angry, nasty kind) and will spend all day accusing you, her neighbours, the gardener and random strangers of stealing her things because she can't...

I would consider that an acceptable price to pay for escaping from my in laws. Edit - Enterprise Actually I would consider a leg and one testicle plus all my clothing to be an acceptable price to pay for escaping after A WEEK with the in laws. I'd be quite tempted to sacrifice at least 3 toes...

The **** you do may not be dodgy and of interest to the spooks, but it is extremely interesting and extremely valuable to the companies that collect, mine and on sell your data to all sorts of third parties. Who then on sell to other third parties... And so on. A VPN gives them the big middle...

Best recommendation - don't use a free vpn. Some are really dodgy. There are plenty of good paid ones out there that aren't expensive. I think I'm looking at around $70/year for mine.
