RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2012 I`ve always wondered if the smoke and mirrors of "celebrity cooking" would actually be discernibly better than any well-trained/experienced/enthusiastic Chef de cuisine might produce....... .........my gut is (always) willing to try; but do I feel its instinct probably knows the answer already! Wozza is something of a culinary (a word I use advisedly) enigma. Hs partner owner/chef in The Greyhound serves up stuff just as good as Wozza's and he never appears on tv or the local courts although Wozza can do some remarkably good dishes using mushrooms (but then the chef on our recent sea trip served up a mushroom soup one day which was quite as good as anything in that line I have eaten at The Greyhound). Wozza reputedly has a share in a local butchery shop and he has certainly been involved in its barbecuing efforts every year when the town centre is shut for the Christmas Fayre - only thing is anything I have ever eaten off that barbecue which was 'cooked' by him was burnt. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Any answers apart from drugs? I have to wake and be instantly alert in case I'm called upon to legally kill burglars but, since the specialists started reducing my head to component parts, I'm finding it impossible to get a deep sleep. 'Nodding off' at times of relaxation during the day I can manage. I thought I'd replied to this earlier. I convince myself that I am asleep dreaming of being awake. Listening to some late night Radio 4 programme with the clock radio set to sleep (turns off automatically after an hour) seems to work. Some medication I take may have the effect of making people drowsy so it is recommended to take it at night. I'm one of the people that it does the opposite to . On the topic of medication I've been taking one product for about 25 years and I thought perhaps it was time to have another look at the Patient Information Leaflet". I was amused to read that serious side effects "include those leading to death, which may require hospital treatment."

I was amused to read that serious side effects "include those leading to death, which may require hospital treatment." A dear friend had been on a course of anti-viral tablets - 10 per day, in pairs. It was only when she'd finished the week-long course, and was pleased to think that she would now avoid the indigestion these had always triggered, that she read the instructions and realised they were supposed to be dissolved in water........ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, she should have had pills for that! When the doctor put me on various things 12 years back they totalled up (at = today's dosage of warfarin) to 7 pills a day so I was prescribed another medication, also a pill, to take when needed to counteract any ill-effects on my stomach which might result from taking the other 7 pills.

Guest Max Stafford Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wozza sounds like a particularly posh person's name for a policeman. As in, the sort of person who drives a Woller! I thought that was 'Pleb'... Dave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted October 11, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2012 I was prescribed another medication, also a pill, to take when needed to counteract any ill-effects on my stomach which might result from taking the other 7 pills. I take seven pills in the morning, one of which is a proton pump inhibitor (ie couteracts the acid from the others), one with each meal, and another two at might. Well I did - since my injury and operation, I've also been taking paracetemol up to six a day (I'm assured it's safe) - rattle rattle - what's that - oh it's only 45156 jumping up and down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) I getting better at using my phone since Matthew went to Canada. We use BBM (Blackberry messenger) as it is the least expensive method for him. Today's message started off with his first assignment grade, then an explanation of what the grade meant, then the news that it is snowing. Matthew said the snow today is just like the stuff we get in Essex, nothing special, but his friends from warm countries are going "insane" running around with snowballs. Sounds fun.

Remembered by many - walking down the street with him was like walking with Paul McCartney! Best, Pete. For a split second there Pete I read that as saying ''I used to shoot at Peter Wyngarde''...!! On the Jason King box set there's a Russell Harty interview with the great man and he comes across as being naturally very fruity. He could read out the telephone book and make it sound fab. (I now have an uncontrollable urge to go out and buy a classic Bentley Coninental and start smoking cigars...)

iL Dottore Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Evening all, I'm just about done in migrating from PC to Apple, there's loads to learn (and a few things to unlearn). I really DO like the Russian approach to level crossing safety, although it's unlikely to be adopted in the UK, not so much for "elf n safetee" but for cost. I can imagine the three-way squabble between the TOCs, Network Rail (or whatever it's called nowadays) and the local councils over who should pay (with the DoT also sticking its oar in). Like Germany, much of the Swiss railway network is unfenced. The Swiss taking the robust approach (it would seem) that if you want to dash across a track when something heavy and fast is coming and you don't make it, well it's sad but your own fault. Regarding the term "pleb" (from plebeian - "of the people"), well given that I was born in Rome (near the Colliseum as it happens) as a proper Roman citizen (SPQR and all that), it means that my ancestors probably owned the ancestors of the gentleman who made that crack about plebs... And you may make of that what you will.... Polypharmacy is a real PITA, fortunately despite my creaking, aging, decrepit hulk of a body, I only have to take one daily drug. Furthermore, I rarely take medication UNLESS it is unavoidable, I am in the business after all... (the rhetorical question "does a butcher eat his own sausages?" comes to mind). But those of you facing the morning chemical gauntlet, you have my sympathies. I'm looking forward to a nice modeling weekend before heading towards San Diego (work) next week. Early start for me tomorrow, so up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire... Stay Frosty Guys iD Edited October 11, 2012 by iL Dottore 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've not seen any of Jason King, but Peter Wyngarde made a memorable appearance in Peter Davison's penultimate Doctor Who story, Planet of Fire. Though not quite as memorable as Nicola Bryant's debut as the new companion... iD - I moved to Mac almost 4 years ago, and have still kept things a bit PC-style (right click, etc... and having to resist the scrolling direction changes brought in with Lion...) but I like the Mac systems, and the fact that in that time the computer's still running as quickly (or faster) as it was when I bought it. All of the Windows machines I've had in the past have been glacially slow after only 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debs. Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I recall with great sadness Peter Wyngarde`s all-too public 'outing' and subsequent foreshortening of his very promising career. The disgraceful double standards of the politicians and judiciary whom brought many such "trophy-prosecutions" still makes many very-angry indeed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the Windows machines I've had in the past have been glacially slow after only 3 years. The sideways scroll and bouncy end of page are probably the best bits of Lion on my Mac. My Windows PC is over two years old and doesn't seem any slower than it was, not that it ever was slow, Win 7 64bit, quad core, fluid cooled, quite a bit of RAM etc. Although I didn't have any problems with it I think the Vista release of Windows did cause a few problems that have continued to affect Microsoft's reputation.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted October 12, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2012 Morning all... Will be off for a few minutes in order to get SWMBO to the station, so will keep things brief for the moment. It sounds like it has been raining outside, going by this swooshing sound passing cars are making right now. I admit I did prefer to set Mac OS to the classic scrolling direction. However, aside from that, I have had no issue with getting used to Mac computers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of leaves on the ground as well, so I figure we'll soon be hearing about trains running late due to poor adhesion as well. And I will now do another cup of coffee...
