I don't think I like you tone OG......

I challenge the, to a duel pic up a mettle gauntlet *smacks*

OldGoat

By the rules of chivelery and ettiquete you proffered the duel so that means I get to choose weapons.
I choose...inflated pigs bladders on strings and Gin&Tonics. We shall round on each other, twacking each other with the choosen weapon whilst quaffing copious amounts of alcohol until one cries yield or drunkness overtakes us.

Point at a work collegue, start him straight in the eye and say to him "I KNOW what you said!". Then walk out of the room in a huff. It might not cure your boredom but it will break the monotony of the afternoon for everyone else.

end every sentence for the rest of the day with "...or so the GOVERNMENT would have you believe" - same reasons as above.

Like the idea, accept it's kinda hard for an unemployed 17 year old, sitting at home watching TV to do that kinda thing:p

You live in MAYO and have the Atlantic ocean on your back door and your watching tv :rolleyes: you dont know your born, go surfing , or better still learn how to windsurf... which is hard better to watch and faster and not so boring

tbh

you're 17 and you're bored???? I would have thought a 17 year old sitting at home on his own was in more danger of going blind than being bored

Not all of us drink brandy and eat smoke cigars.

The current title is more inclusive.

Does anyone know how much moderators get paid?

Will

Nothing at all

Fajitas!

Don't lie Will.

Reillyman, when I was a mod a while back, I was on €5,000 per annum a forum (three forums) and an extra €10,000 for being an Adverts.ie moderator. It's handy money, you need to be online for 5 hours a day, so you can work a full time job.

I have no sleazy dirtbag pm's. This upsets me greatly.

Actually werent you one of the people who told me my personality (ie Moonbaby), weighs 300lbs when imagined?

Will

Uhm I don't think i'd be witty/creative enough to say something like that tbh.

i don't get sleazy dirtbag pm's either, this isn't right. fix it somebody

Yes you did, and I will never ever forgive....forget. :pac:

But your a ginger! Sleazebag groupies are the payback for all those years of bullying growing up. :mad:
What is the world coming to eh.....:(

Will

yeah when a gentleman can't get some sleazy groupie women sad panda indeed

Fajitas!

I've a few

Out and out favorite is quite boring. Buffalo mozzarella - but throw in a few tomatos, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and it's a winner.

Wensleydale/cranberry is rocking on it's own.

Some of the porter cheeses in third place.

And some of the lighter of the blues coming in in fourth place!

Ohhh there are quite a few there

Im into blues with a redoinion jam NOYM

tho bri can be divine if its bought in France of a cheese maker :DIl eat any chease tho im a bit of a push over when it comes to mozerella with a bit of pesto and on the vine toms slumph

Fajitas!

I used be a brie fan, but I've really gone off it lately - It's just too strong for me!

Blue with red onion jam... Nice!

Fwiw, I just fried some feta into cherry tomatos and chorizo, popped into a pitta bread with rocket. Can't bait it

Warm feta is just bootiful....I have a Mediterranean vegetable bake in the oven and that is going on top with some walnuts in about 20 minutes.

Blue cheeses remind me of snot.
I hate not liking things though, so I'm working little bits of Gorgonzola in here and there.
Still it is an effort.

Fajitas!

Veggie bake sounds great - I have a soft spot for nuts in bakes/roasts. Roasting them brings out some fantastic flavours.

Gorgonzola works great melted with hams and/or rocket. It's probably one of the easier of the blues. Yum!

I love warm feta, I cooked a fritatta for the folks yesterday and meant to pop some on top but comepletly forgot.

OldGoat

Roquefort and a glass of muscat. :cool:

Reillyman

or Brandy and Cigars:cool:

OldGoat

Oh please, brandy and cigars AFTER the cheese & wine. :cool::cool:

Fajitas!

I think I've ended up with two more old cameras.

I'll be running out of storage space for them at this stage...

trout

Speaking of old cameras ... I just found a box brownie, or what I think is a box brownie, in my attic.

I also found a less old, but still quite old camera in a leather case. I'm going to leave opening it till tomorrow, as the leather looks a bit fragile; I want to let it warm up to room temperature before I faff with it.

Fajitas!

You should try popping some 35mm film into the Brownie, you'll get some lovely results from it.

Humberklog over on the Photography forum gets some fantastic results from his;

Just be sure to tell the developers not to cut the negs!

I've got an old Nikon from the late 70's, it's an EM series. Haven't gotten round to using it yet though.

Fajitas!

Handy tip;

Unicare chemists were given extra stock of what's know as 'free film' to give out to people that ask nicely! Pop in to any of them local to you and ask - There's folk around the forum that ended up with several hundred rolls free! It's only 200iso basic film, but it works, and it's free!

Cool, I'll check that out.

Do you know where the best place is to get film developed in Dublin these days?

Best place in town is Gunn's - Opposite Whelans, or if you're near Blanch, the camera shop out there will give you a few bob off if you mention Boards.ie - And there's a chemist in Artane I think that'll do the same - Search for cheap processing film and you'll get a few results with people we've gotten deals with on the Photography forum!!
