General Banter / a turkey free zone
« on: December 23, 2013, 12:16:05 am »
no turkey in our gaff this xmas...
Although i do cook a particularly good turkey n chickens
steam roasted in a sealed steel casserole dish,
on a vegetable trivet with a half bottle of white wine ,
with herb butter under the skin...
This xmas..
im doing a 10lb joint of pulled pork ,cost £12
cooked in a slow cooker for 5hrs on xmas eve,
with a cajun rub and some scrumpy cider under it
the skin will be grilled to make some crunchy crackling...
then i will shread it all and return to the slow cooker with the juices and some herb butter through it,
it will be served in a yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings pigs n stuffing in bacon,sprouts,parsnips,etc
roasties par boiled the day before and stored dry in the fridge then deep fat cooked to brown,
all of this time saved will give me and the family[the kids are in their 20's]
time to go to the local in the morning for a festive tipple...
all in all it will turn out better than most turkeys people are planning to ruin,
and will cost half as much,
must admit im lookin forward to it ....

General Banter / works nite out ....
« on: December 07, 2013, 11:58:11 pm »
I am a not a big drinker but as its Christmas time,
we went out to the meal/party.
I had several good real ales, followed with some wine and a bit of champers,
Feeling quite "merry" I still had the sense to know that I was probably a bit over the limit
i had taken the car so I did something I had never done before,
I took a Cab home. Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past.
I arrived home safe and sound. This was a real surprise as I have never driven a cab before,
I don't know where I got it from. and now its in my garden and don't know what to do with it.
anyone want a black cab ...?

General Banter / speed ...guy martian prog ...
« on: November 10, 2013, 12:03:26 am »
This looks interesting.
from http://www.guymartinracing.co.uk/
Working Title ‘Speed’ for Channel 4 – Broadcast in 2014.
A North One Television production.
Guy Martin claims that nothing can match the adrenaline rush he gets when racing on public roads around the Isle of Man TT course at 200mph. So now he’s setting out to see if he can find anything that can give him the same kicks....
This four part series follows Guy as he sets out to create four speed-based challenges in which he will explore the boundaries of physics and learn about the science of speed. Whether it’s slip-streaming a racing driver to ride a bicycle at over 100mph using pedal power, or seeing if he can ride a motorbike across a lake, Guy will seek to find out what makes things go fast by getting his hands dirty in a range of unique engineering projects.
In the opening episode Guy recruits an unlikely team made up of a truck racer, an Olympic gold medalist Laura Trott, a bicycle builder and a design engineer more used to working on next-generation military aircraft, to attempt, with the aid of slipstreaming, to break the British record for outright speed on a bicycle – an incredible 110mph.
In the second film Guy is on a mission to do the seemingly impossible – fly using muscle power alone. He wants to build the world’s fastest human powered aircraft – a plane without an engine that Guy will cycle into the air.
He then attempts to set the world record for riding a motorcycle on the surface of water. With the help of a Cambridge professor and a team of marine engineers, Guy’s stunt hinges on Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion – where every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If he can maintain enough speed on his bike, the 250-year-old theory says he should be able to achieve the seemingly impossible – ride on water.
In the final daredevil quest, Guy sets out to break the record for the world’s fastest gravity powered sled. With the help of the UK’s top sports science engineers, athletes and experts in composite engineering Guy will first build, then try to ride the toboggan on the unforgiving slopes of the Swiss Alps and reclaim the record from a group of thrill-seeking Germans who set it three years ago.
More information to follow nearer the time of broadcast......
