  1. I am reminded by two stories which illustrate the idiocy of this ban. I was brought up in a time and place where Spaz or spastic was a derogative term of the worst kind. Ian Dury was a cripple who exhibited spastic characteristics. He had to have a stick not to help get around but to stem the tremors. He wrote "Spasticus Autisticus" which was banned by the BBC. In reality it was a crusade to change people attitude to the disabled. Aunty BBC got it wrong. The devil and a bailiff were going along together and the bailiff asked why the devil did not take a child when its mother said "may the devil take you" the answer was because it was not from the heart. The song was written about a drunken Irish couple exchanging insults on Christmas Day. There was no intent or hatred in slut or faggot
  2. now this is easier to say than do, but do not cheat, be methodical, every little extreme affects the body. you have to do exercise, and although with a pump you can do sudden bursts of exercise, a fast walk over a longer time is better, food little and often. Yes I know it is the diabetics mantra, but it is worth it Best wishes Red
  3. Those that are adults were child. Hate breeds hate. I would recommend that you look for the " Fred Phelps expose' " It is not very pleasant reading, be warned.
  4. Its a billygoat(s) male, a doe(s) female, and kid(s). so we do not known CJ sex.
  5. C James as The Queen Of The Evilest Cliffhangers. I have been searching for the The Queen Of The Evilest Cliffhangers. Nothing yet but a couple more entries and you never know.
  6. Theses are the books by my bed. I have the gift and bane of remembering stories, the top three are the only ones that I have read more than once. The Lord of the Rings, six or more times. The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien Dio Beckstead Stories Josh, Evolving by Cole Parker The others, I just need to read a paragraph or two, and it all comes back. Slide Rule by Nevil Shute Norway War and Peace by Tolstoy Deserts by James Martin Kreszig Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig Mabingion In English Foundation Series by, Isaac Asimov Diggers by Terry Prachett Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum, I have not made up my mind yet. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowlings
  7. Zog's Sex Wax Surfer's Essentials Be warned sex wax is used to ensure you can grip the board
  8. First, I must say that I am not a surfer and I have never been in a hurricane. However, I have sailed on windsurfer, in dinghies, on yachts up to 75feet(~20m). I have never been in a green room, but a green wall, is an unwelcomed friend. I have been trashed, in a 25 foot (8m) yacht, and on a windsurfer. That feeling of being with the sea, the companionship of the sea, the need to help even the foolhardy, the hopeless. How adrenaline helps makes the impossible, possible. The relief, that after escaping that reef, the beach is so soft. I do not know if C James has experienced the above, but this story brings back good and bad memories. A wonderful story, thanks. Red

    Diabetes

    If you need to start taking insulin, a pump is good idea, as somebody who has recently become a diabetic has great difficulty in keeping control. But you should consider why you are having to take insulin. Why are you now type 1 not a servere type 2?? I would recommend that you obtain a diabetic control software programme which can be used to determine what medication is required according to food intake and physical activity. My father developed diabetics late in life and although quite capable finds controlling it difficult, my young neice although very active and not always quite there finds it easy. A "smart" pump could be great help. However, It does get in the way, and restricts your life. It also needs care and maintainance. My father did have an early pump, but had to stop using it because he could not maintain it( In the widest sense) In summary, consider why you are becoming type 1??, take care over diet and activity, will the pump get in the way, can you look after it. Good Wishes, from somebody who has been on the verge of type 2 for 39 years. Red

    Lets bake!

    Deutsch Shoo-fly Pie The trick is that you have to use shortening for the crumble, ie hydronated fat, ie high temperature fat or oil. Hard margarine is the nearest UK equivalent, lard which we normally use for crumble does not cook at high enough temperature. If anybody Knows of a good supply of shortening in the uk, I am interested. PS it is extremely unhealthy, so no more than One pie a week

    Lets bake!

    graeme, bittersweet can be replaced by dark chocolate semi sweet by milk chocolate flour used is plain flour, you can use self raising if you do not use baking powder 1 large US Egg(2.125ozs 60g) = Medium UK Egg (58g[53 to 63g]) = 44kcal, 3.8g protein, 3.2g fat Here I would disagree with Trebs, most US recipes use Large eggs. But, the determining factor is the mixture should be such it spreads on a well greased tray to twice the original size.
  17. Well, I found it interesting and admusing. I worked at Renton for a couple of months, and I can asure you that Boeing do not do anything for nothing. They are not particularly interested in selling their aircraft, to start up companies. The industry at the moment is in a down turn. It is in Boeing interest to get people to start now so that when the up turn comes, they will buy planes. If small companies buy any aircraft, Boeing or otherwise, it will help Boeing because it will reduce the second hand market, and indirrectly sell Boeing aircraft. If small companies buy second hand aircraft from Boeing or new aircraft, even better. My amusement comes from the realisation that the bosses in Boeing have swallowed their pride and started to give apparently no sale advice, which will probably be better sales technique in the long run.

  21. I hope you had a beautiful day and wish you many more.
  22. Well maybe if you get the chance you can take a car, or even better, a motorcycle out and have some fun Yes,Yes a car. No, No, No, not a bike, not even with full body armour. I have picked up too many body parts.
  23. Hints for you. Where it snows regularly, people can drive in the snow, where it only occurs one day a year, BEWARE, other drivers are idiot and do not know how to drive. Cascade are safe, Seattle is dangerous. Go for diesel, if you can, yes it is cheaper, but also the natural gentle breaking when you take your foot off the pedal is useful. Try it efore you hit snow. Comment Nicholas James 8 idea is not as provocitive as you think. Yes find an empty carpark with a small carwith snow or a skidpan, and go for it. It is fun and, also you know what to do when it happens for real.
  24. I first saw them many years ago, on the mornong watch(4 to 8) on a 25 foot yacht, 50 miles into the North Sea. By God it was cold. But a beautiful sight. It did not have as good a sky as the West Coast of scotland, but it was a good display that year. Ever since, I have tried to see them again. But the weather normally intervenes.
  25. Red____________Bad Brown Yellow Green Blue Black _________Good Even in Red Areas where the light pollution is bad, it is still possible to find good areas. For Example, in the worst area, the lowlands, there are some places which are very rural areas, in Zeeland, there are some very good places. In Seattle, Washington State, a couple of Miles on I-5 into the cascades. Extremely cold but a very good sky. If you look at the night sky, and see more stars than normal, that is a good place. It just takes time to find a good place. If you check your local astromers journal, you will find when there are shooting. They normally shoot over 8 to 10 days. see Jamessavik above
