  1. Does anyone know a good place near rother valley to go sloe picking?
  2. My gran gave me her method, and it's exactly the same ratios as Delia's and they always work http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/english/yorkshire-pudding.html except, I use all semi-skimmed milk instead of the 3oz milk 2oz water. As some have said, it's all about the oven temp, and getting your tin and dripping nice and hot, smoking. A tip my gran gave me was to put a little pepper in with the dripping if your yorkshires are prone to sticking to the tin
  3. Does anyone know what happened at the cowlishaw road / junction road junction? I was going from Psalter Lane down to Ecclesall Rd about 8:15 this morning and the police had it taped off and were not letting anyone near.
  4. mmmmmmmm Svickova, I think i am addicted to bread dumplings LOL, i've just come back from a week in Prague and just loved the food (and of course the beers!) The first thing i did when i came back was to look here and see if there was any Czech restaurants in Sheffield. If anyone finds out a place that you can get a nice Czech meal can they let us all know
  5. if you want to see lots of wanted posters goto google image search, enter "wanted poster" in there and you'll get loads there's also a fun site http://www.glassgiant.com/wanted/ than can make one up for you
  6. Hi there, there are lots of things they could have done better with Vista (device drivers grrrr being one) but the legacy software support is not as bad as i has thought it would be (there is a setting where you can right click on the EXE that's being run, and in compatibility set it to "XP" and that seems to fix lots of problems) I however must say - MS Works is the work of the devil and as such should be burned. I am a big supporter of the open source comunity and this is a bit of a plug, but... You may want to check out things like open office - http://www.openoffice.org/ it's all the tools you get in office, only free I also came across a few months ago when someone was looking for an Si replacement http://www.turbocashuk.com/accounting-software-compare.html and it can be downloaded free at http://www.turbocashuk.com/accounting-software-download.html so you can try it out and see if it fits the bill (should work with vista, not that i've tested it but it seems most Open Source projects seem to react to these things better )
  7. I've never looked at the sports feeds, but a good one to check is discovery HD and BBC HD - they both use a high bandwith/low compression when transmitting the signal I know that previously sports channels were notorius for transmitting low quality (highly compressed) feeds - maybe that's what's happening here. as for the HD/BR thing, BR is where i'm placing my stake in the ground, PS3 will mean loads of players will be in your house already plugged into your HDTV It's not quite like last play station (where the biggest selling bundle combo was Matrix) but it's going to be a foot in the door.
  8. I can also recommend the EOS range - if you are seriously into photography that's the one i would say go for (5D or 400D if you prefer a slightly smaller camera) however the technology is seriously amazing nowadays on compacts - i would even go as far as saying that I could take a photo with an eos-350D and the Ixus i900 and you would be hard pushed to tell the difference (obviously it's not always the case - there are still some things a nice lens and SLR will give you)
  9. I should be able to make to make it this week - i'll be there from about 7
  10. vista has less sound support, but i'm sure it'll be better in 6 months or so I have installed 4 vista systems so far, and altho none of them discovered the sound card on install - i just had to do a search on the web for the correct drivers (this was mostly because i have been installing 64bit Vista, so i needed the 64bit drivers - if you can't find a vista64 specific driver yet, see if there's any xp64 drivers.
  11. John, doesn't look like that many people are going - i have a bit of work do to, so i'll not come down - sorry, catch up with it next week
  12. i am able to make this sunday if it's going? if anyone wants i can also bring one/or more of the following Chess Backgammon i've splashed out on a set of settlers of catan as i enjoyed playing it the other week I also have a game yinish http://www.gipf.com/yinsh/index.html i've not played it yet (it looks a bit like an odd/enhanced version of othello)
  13. very well said - The net is a wonderful place to chat to people and exchange ideas - but it's very hard to guage someone's feelings/deeper ideas from a few chats on a forum and a signature. from your sig and avatar i would have taken you as a very confident and self assured woman who enjoys using her sexuality as a positive influence in her life (having said that - i would as always be happy to throw that view away as i get to know someone more, and base my idea of someone on real information) I find in the net you judge people based on such little things, because you don't have face to face contact - this also means it's a lot easier to just drop them and move on to someone more intrested in what you were talking about. BTW - Congrats on the preggers thing.
  14. Handshake is still my prefered for formal meetings (a kiss on the cheek is still not quite the norm when meeting the bank manager - but hey, i'd go with it if it'll get me an extra few percentage points off) As a Scot, i like to employ many different introduction/greeting methods (or as it has been mentioned before, any excuse to get a snog) I like the european 2 kisses on the cheeks, but if it's friends i think hugs are much better - not enough people hug in my opinion! I am torn tho as the Japanese bow is an amazingly complex statement and i am facinated by it - i'm not sure it's suited to our current culture - can't see lads in the pub doing it somehow LOL
  15. there is a BB entrant that i have even higher up on the annoyance scale that jade or nikki and that's Jayne ant and dec are up there in my "switch off the telly if on list" as are Trinny and Suzanna and don't get me started with chris evans LMAO
  16. i had it when i was 29 and i'll tell you it was no picnic (memories of spending hours in a cool bath just to stop the itches - or being white from head to toe - covered in calamine lotion - not that it really helped much) get it early kids
  17. as somone who loves watching films i was impressed with sky+ (makes the whole videoing and watching when i want about as easy as i could hope) for me it was an easy choice as freeview has very little film options. I would say go for sky (especially as you're not in a cable area so you don't have that option) - sky's deffo better than freeview in it's channel choices but you need to look at the extra channels, will you be watching them (personally i found myself watching a lot more discovery/bibliography programs) It's a lot of money (and as had been said, the customer service is worse then useless) but i am happy with the overall service i get for the money.
  18. you can do a full backup and restore of all your e-mails and folders from one Computer to another using the following Open OE in the one you want to copy select Tools>Options select the tab for Maintenance and press Store Folder this will show you a folder address of where all the emails are stored, select it all and copy the value open "My Computer" and in the address bar paste the copied value - this will take you to the folder copy the entire folder onto a CD or wherever you want then do the same on the destination PC to get the destination folder, and copy the files into there - (before putting them all in the destination folder - shut down OE) that should work (i've done it a few times to Sync my laptop with my main computer) - Note, if you are wanting to keep some of the e-mails on the destination computer it's a bit more complicated (copying the emails to a dedicated folder(s) - take them away from the restore folder, add the backed up files, and in OE add the dedicated folder(s) back in before returning the files)
  19. I actually found a number of the options very devisive - and it did score my view of UKIP higher than i would have thought LOL - but even saying that it was not too far wrong Lib Dems 60% Labour 59% Greens 56%, Conservative 31% UKIP 21%
  20. Also another good standalone maleware scanner is a-squared
  21. The very first time i connected to the net - it was called Gophernet and was just an amazing feeling, to be exchanging messages almost real time with someone in another part of the world (i converesed with people from universities all over UK, USA and even some places in Europe) - Then many years later i got into usenet (user groups) and that was so much more fun, but no less amazing for that. Both were amazingly useful as it felt like i had access to the best minds in the world (and in many ways that was true as i exchanged words with some of the leading minds in IT) it was not until i went onto university that the net became free and therefore almost common place, and by then what you now know of as the net existed (HTTP and web browsing) - it's sad to say, but i actually grew bored with it - and it was not until i left uni and got into Japanese manga and anime that i got back into it - and from there i was totally addicted. (all that and i'm only 32 - so no comments about "were you using punch cards back then" ok )
  22. i never looked at what the offers were, as soon as i see compulsary 'offers' it always reminds me of those dodgy book clubs that you got 3 books for 75p and then you had to buy 1 a month at full price for the rest of your life
  23. Ah - Thanks, that has made me smile big cuddle back (cuddles are one of my fave things - they are as good to give as they are to receive and they make everyone involved happy - YEY)
  24. if you read the print at the bottom it's a promo/referal site Registration Short Survey Bonus Freebies and Offers Find a few more special items that could be of great interest to you.
