My God! Just got back online at the library and it seems I have been logged on here at BoM since last week! Didn't think I was 'cos as I was posting last week (22nd I think), the site crashed on me. But I could log on at another computer on Friday so I thought I'd ben logged out automatically.

Anyway, WTF is with American Idol 3?? Have the last 2 been similar in auditions? Makes me glad I didn't really watch Aussie Idol much - only the last couple of shows.

Oh yeah, a couple days late maybe but Happy Australia Day for yesterday to all my fellow Aussies be you here in Oz or overseas somewhere!

 

This is hell. Two days of -32C weather and going on number three. My generally clear skin is going into leopard spots from the cold and the heater in my work place brings the inside to just around the freezing point.

I'm just thankful that I don't work at our new location where the heater is completely broken! Two employee's there that are going to be glad to get home in the evening. I asked one of my bosses if he was going to close the other store tomorrow and he said, "You can't just close a store for the day." I wonder how the Canadian labour board feels about employees freezing to death in their work place? Apparently my bosses aren't that concerned.

 

I rock so much. Some of you that visit #Sorcerers when I am in the hungry mood might know of my exploits in the kitchen, and how insanely cool they happen to be. Well, last night, I created a masterpiece.

Rice:
Use the correct ratio of water:rice to make it the normal way. But, before you start to boil the water, add the following ingredients.

• Cloves
  Nutmeg
  Cinnamon Quill
  Bay Leaves
  Cardamoms

Leave to cook.

Mince:
Then, get out some beef mince. It doesn't have to be of great quality, but it does make a difference. You will also need some peas and olive oil. Then, grab the following ingredients and place them on the bench.

• Minced Chilli (can use fresh chillis if you wish, would probably effect the taste)
  Minced Ginger
  Curry Powder
  Paprkia
  Cajun Spice mix
  Black pepper (crushed)
  Black Mustard seeds (crushed)

Mix the above mentioned spices in a bowl and be prepared to add them to the mince.

Next, grab a deep pan and put some olive oil in the bottom. I like to use a late harvest olive oil. More subtle flavour in both salad dressings and pan cooking. Anyway, heat the pan up with the oil and add the premium beef mince. Cook until brown and then slowly add the spices, making sure that they mix evenly over the mince. Don't add it at once unless you want a huge clump of flavour in the mince. At this stage, you could probably add some Taco Seasoning if you want that sort of mexican flavour. When it is thouroughly mixed through, add a small amount of water and add some peas. As soon as the peas are warmed through (they will condense slightly), take off the heat. If you have timed well, the rice should be ready by now. Add the rice to the mince and stir through. And Voila! You have a nice tasting meal ready for consumption. Won't take longer than 20 minutes, as you will need to cook the rice. The mince will take 10 minutes tops.

Rotku's hungry and he just had dinner
*goes off to find some more food*

 

Go ahead and DIE, Interplay! Just ... DIE! With all speed disappear into some deep dark abyss or some such. Forever cease in existance. Never trouble the good gaming people of the world again. Be burnt away by a scorching blast of avenging lightening send from the heavens to cleanse the Earth of your filth. Let the deepest pits open up beneath your corperate buildings and let them be swallowed whole. May the crap you release explode inside the crappy consoles you place them in. Die in as swift a manner as possible.

And yes, I do realise that this is an extremely delayed reaction. I just had this sudden urge to rant and flame after having a look at the Iply website. Dark Alliance fans indeed, pfft.

Does anyone else here HATE Forecasting and job/process costing?
Why does it have to suck so bad

 

@Shrikanth

I don't know. What is it?

 

These are terms used in the exciting world of accountancy!

Yes, you too can use your magical crystal ball to anticipate future financial results (forecasting) or determine the real cost of producing goods and services (job/process costing). These and other fascinating abilities can be yours if you have the extraordinary skill it takes to become an accountant.

 

It is snowing in England!

 

Man, it's so ****ed up to be French and the international pariah.
