I'll pass on the cappuccino, but the cream roll sounds interesting.

Careful, it is Death by Sherbet but hey, you only live once.

I'd post a link to the recipe but I can't be bothered with the five minute load of all the server-side ad garbage they throw onto pages these days. Broadband is giving a wider and deeper sludge channel c/w the old dial-up. Remember 56K modems ? Plus if I ever meet someone who claims to be a Shockwave developer I will kill them. Yes, I actually will. Slowly and with intervals for loading of further torture instruments, leaving the high voltage on while I ponder whether to kill the unresponsive process. That sort of thing. On the up side I found a Chrome plug-in that hides the comments under YouTube clips. What a win that is ! :-)

You see I groaned and fell off my chair last week while reading a YouTube comment thread about SpaceX and the topic of Neil Armstrong. Neil had cut Elon Musk real deep with remarks about Elon's rocketry program. Anyway one commenter posted a mere one month ago wondering why Neil Armstrong hadn't apologised* for his previous comments given SpaceX's recent successes ! :-((

Cheers, Mike.

* Hint. Neil died four years ago. That may explain his lack of interest in current events. Why don't these posters just simply write "I am an utter moron who needs to get out more" and leave it at that ? That would certainly Save My Time .... I am actively looking for other internet rubbish blockers. Content Is King. Any suggestions ? :-)


For chrome I use ublock origin for ad blocking, scriptsafe to block scripts and flashcontrol to block flash (click to play). Seems to eliminate pretty much all of the crap on sites :)

PS Hope you've got a woolly hat to keep your head warm :)


Annie minion :)

Tends to blunt the spike alas, but it is mild at the moment anyway. :-)

Raising money for leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma and related cancers : for the treatment of sufferers, support of families and ongoing research. This category of malignancy contains some exceptionally nasty varieties which by definition aren't localisable and thus subject to surgical removal. A recent boon is the use of stem cells plus the auto-grafting of entire immune systems { roughly : harvest stem cells -> obliterate the immune system + the cancer within -> hope you don't catch anything -> re-establish the immune system via implantation of suitably stimulated stem cell lines }.

There is a ( disturbingly ) large number of people who very much like to see me look like a huge idiot ( and will pay to encourage ), but that is all to the good ! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

I'd be absolutely delighted if you could Chris ! :-)

Try the official portal. It is a three day event and on this final day I have gone for the psycho debt collector look :

and we may reassure Gary that the nestlings are doing fine ! :-)

Cheers, Mike.
