Mad quiet. Fucking hell, it's like a spacewalk. I'm trying to use TMO as an excuse to stop work but there's nothing to distract me. If this is what everyone going on the wagon does to the internet then pour me another, Lloyd. You set 'em up and I'll knock 'em back. All work and no play makes Jonesy a dull boy.
not...
You reached over with your hand and knocked my Jap over

On this date in 2004, exciting newbie anno starting a thread with the following post:

So that will be a Lady Grey for me this morning. One more cuppa and i should be off to grace the pavements again in my new boots. Hopefully i will not be slipping and sliding like yesterday.
Hello to all at TMO.

It's changed around here. When did we lose our 'edge'?

Did Harlequin ever actually endorse rape in any way? As I remember it all he ever said was that he felt he could understand why people did it, which isn't actually the same thing at all.

No doubt that information is still on here somewhere.. I think the current forum goes back to November 2003 ??
[Didn't he say women were asking for it if they dressed in a sexy way or something similar ?]
I was thinking maybe the forum was ending up like an old married couple ie they don't actually have conversations any more, as there's nothing they haven't already discussed. Then I thought of my nan and grandad having the same predictable conversation about peeling spuds, and now I really fancy some roast potatoes.
How do you actually make roast potatoes?
Edit: both potatos and potatoes look wrong to me, but apparently it does have an e.

On this day in 1948, Ben started a thread called GANDHI DEAD!!!!
quote:This just off the wires - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement, has been assassinated in New Delhi by a Hindu fanatic.
He's gone, h8ERZ! You've killed him
Believing the librarian to be up to his usual tricks, no one believed him. 69 Comback Elvis From The Future posted a spoof handy, bendy Ghandi advert and Thorn Davis phoned the Indian Embassy in London to order a takeaway. Everyone made bald jokes until Amy posted "Ben isn't lying. It's so sad."

Well, I part boil nice spuds (Maris Pipers) with three cloves of garlic, then drain, remove garlic cloves and put potatoes into a roasting tray containing hot olive oil with plenty of salt and pepper and a large sprig of rosemary.
Roast for 30/40 minutes turning halfway through till golden brown (gas 6/7).

On the subject of TMO's deadness, Elvis, GodRestHisSoul, once writ this:
but I never really paid no neverminds. But it is, isn’t it. Dead. Anyways, is there anything I can do? I mean, I’m not prolific. Never have been. Look down there. Not there, there. That’s it. Not much of a post count is it. When everybody else is bringing cool picture tags to the party. I’m never going to be prolific, so don’t say “yeah, you can post more you big wet fuck” because it won’t help. And I’m terrible at starting threads. Jonesy knows this because he remembers back in the day when I used to start threads and even he couldn’t be bothered to reply. That’s how back in the day that was. I’m pretty terrible at funny at the minute also because I’ve been on a diet and I haven’t drunk for like two whole weeks and I haven’t smoked for like three whole weeks. That sucks, by the way. Dieting. I’ve lost weight, which is nice, I guess. I’m back out of snug and back into comfortable. Uh-huh. I’ve not lost a lot. How’s the smoking going? Well I wish I’d never started because giving up is quite tricksy, even if you hire an old lady to sit next to you and cough up blood. It’s made double tricksy if you’re good at it, like I am. Was. Like I was. And your brain starts going “hey but you can smoke one with a pint because you haven’t smoked any for ages and one is just like the amount of secondary smoke people who go out all the time absorb and you don’t go out hardly ever anymore SO SMOKE IT YOU BIG WET FUCK!”. I’m starting to hate my brain and I’m spending entirely too much time in its company. I also hate my want. Why? Why do I want a new thing when I have a perfectly good thing. It doesn’t matter what that thing is, by the way. Who needs a phone with a camera? No fucker that’s who. Until they put a camera in a phone and then every fucker, that’s who. Because every fucker knows a fucker with a camera in their phone and blah. Cue ben saying “ebbe fook, tha’d not need more than string anuh poly cup if ah rant worle.” Yeah. Well, yeah. Maybe. But you don’t and I have consumerism. I’m going to start drinking again tonight by the way. And anyone who says “oo why do you all go on about how much alcohol you drink? It’s not big or clever” gets teabagged. It is big and clever and romantic in a totally rock way. Also I am well behind in my work AND football was cancelled this week for the second week running AND nobody wants to go walking with me this weekend not even my son who wants to have friends over even after I explained that his mother had promised me that children liked walking with parents and that’s why we had him. AND I watched a worthy arts programme on BBC4 last night instead of my usual array of stuff the Guardian likes to poke fun at. AND it was shit. AND I met Phillipa Forrester the other day but like what’s the fucking point in that? AND AND AND.

I could tell you about how I broke up with my boyfriend. And about how I am probably going to live in a house with 3 boys, which seems like madness to me. But what can one do?

Thorn, I think he means 450 American degrees. There's 31degrees in a yowl, 19 yowls in a sear etc. It's how they measured stuff in the olden dayes.
I'm pretty disturbed that two people have mentioned garlic in association with England's finest dish. Sickos.
But seriously, you don't boil the spuds to soften them up first or anything- they just sit in a dish with oil for ages? Not sure I could wait 45 mins for my dinner. Edit- just saw that Darryn part boils his. Surely that means you have to wait even longer for your food! Last week, Thorn was practically weeping in the kitchen, as he clutched the packaging and begged of his pizza what's wrong with you? because it had been in the oven four minutes and wasn't ready yet.
