Thought you had a dialup as well?

Kept the dial-up account with Hutchison, but they got out of the ISP business. Didn't bother getting a new one. This was the first serious cable glitch in ages. I don't know whether it's worth the cost of maintaining a dial-up ISP just for emergencies.

Your favourite meal presumably? You wouldn't last 10 seconds in this house.

I started with Insalata Caprese - homegrown heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced, layered with basil and thinly sliced buffalo-milk mozzarella, drizzled with fine extra virgin olive oil. Followed that with the same thing I did during the week - the chargrilled, organic free-range chicken thigh cutlets, etc. Mrs finbar did a fine dessert - individual Bread & Butter Puddings made with pannatone. I made Passionfruit Icecream to serve on the side.

Nah. What you mentioned sounds more appetising.

Funnily enough I think it's time for lunch.

Now, what was that finbar? Now that I'm on to dinner.

Prawn sumptin for starters

satay sumptin for mains

bread and butter pudding for enders...

Did I miss the point?

Sorry, you don't qualify for the special personalised menu. Only Hydey does. Though you would've loved Mrs finabr's Bread and Butter Pudding - made with pannatone - tonight with my homemade Passionfruit Icecream on the side.

I have some of the chicken and the potatoes boulangère left over. And some of the homemade Passionfruit Icecream. I'll PM it to you.

DrSpike · January 26, 2003, 09:18

I'll PM you my compliments. Please don't be offended if on top of your digital offering I partake in something more wholesome.

For some reason I'm having trouble fitting the chicken, potatoes boulangère and passionfruit icecream into my cable modem. Fear not, I shall prevail.

DrSpike · January 26, 2003, 10:12

Idiot! You can't actually put the food into your modem.

You have to get a food-delivery peripheral.

finbar · January 26, 2003, 18:08

Sorry, Doc, I ended up scraping it all out of the modem and eating it myself. Maybe next time.

DrSpike · January 26, 2003, 18:15

Toying with me huh? Shan't come to your next one now. : petulant:

I guess it has something to do with spending $500 just to get to the dinner.

Given the time poor situation of most of us it might be an idea to keep spaz chucking to a minimum in future.

War4ever · January 28, 2003, 21:12

i am cranky, and what was that $hit about me up there before ?

Alexander's Horse · January 28, 2003, 21:54

Hydey lost all respect or you.

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 00:03

rigggggght....why was that again?

Alexander's Horse · January 29, 2003, 00:09

Because you posted something likely to make deity even more insufferable than he already is.

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 00:51

oh right, i posted he was the best aussie, everyone got bent out of shape

Alexander's Horse · January 29, 2003, 01:13

Its not so much that we care what you think, its how it affects his Highness that bothered Hydey I suspect.

DrSpike · January 29, 2003, 05:51

But if Deity cares about what War thinks (which I suspect he will since it was complimentary

) and you care how Deity acts in response, by extension, you must care what War thinks.

Only serving to prove that an economist is to logic as oil is to water.

That is unbelievably flawed reasoning.

The only thing I care about with War4 is watching that little puff after I destroy his military units.

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:30

So, any chance of the 4 of us showing up Friday night?

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:32

(I know you're there Hydey)

Hydey · January 30, 2003, 18:37

I am here because my bloody ute has shat itself and is down at Cranny gas waiting for repairs.

I should be here tonight , may even grace you with my appearance on Saturday night as well.

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:38

I've seen the way you drive that ute

Hydey · January 30, 2003, 18:41

It wouldn't start on petrol and would start but die on LPG.

took me 3/4 to limp it the 3 km to the repairer.

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:45

Now we need to know if finbar and deity will be around.

I'm getting tired of staring at the save.

Hydey · January 30, 2003, 18:50

Deity shoyuld be ok but what of Mr teenage TV ?

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:52

I hope he hasn't invited several people over for dinner.

Hydey · January 30, 2003, 19:37

Maybe Big Kerry is coming over for some kidney pie
